Breaking Bad is full of memorable, crafty characters, and the stoic Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks) is among the craftiest of them all. However, even Gus Fring's (Giancarlo Esposito) fearless, chrome-domed enforcer wasn't immune to the occasional mistake.
In a show as crowded as Breaking Bad, it's easy to forget a small-time player like Dan Wachsberger (Chris Freihofer).

Michael Ehrmantraut ( / ˈɜːrməntraʊt /) is a fictional character in Breaking Bad and its spinoff prequel Better Call Saul, played by Jonathan Banks. Mike is a former Philadelphia police officer who works for Gus Fring —and, on occasion, Saul Goodman —as a private investigator, head of security, cleaner, and hitman.
They cast Jonathan Banks because they admired his work in the 1980s police drama Wiseguy. Banks himself thought he would come on and do the role for "ABQ", but had been impressed by working alongside Aaron Paul in that scene, and with the overall direction that Vince Gilligan had provided for the episode. Banks considered his character close to that of Max von Sydow 's Joubert from Three Days of the Condor, an assassin that painted figurines on the side. Following Mike's death in the fifth season episode " Say My Name ", Banks said this did not surprise him because he always believed the character would die at some point.

Mike had one son, Matt, who also became a police officer. Matt married Stacey and they had a daughter, Kaylee. In an extended flashback in the Better Call Saul episode " Five-O ", Mike is revealed as a crooked cop who took bribes. Matt was approached by other corrupt officers and asked Mike for advice; Mike advised Matt that not taking the money would label him a whistleblower, and endanger his life and family, so Matt took it. Matt's partner and another officer killed Matt because his hesitation caused them to think he might turn them in. Stacey and Kaylee left Philadelphia for Albuquerque after Matt's funeral. Mike identified the officers who killed Matt and arranged a similar ambush to kill both of them, after which he left for Albuquerque, allowing him to see Stacey and Kaylee.
Mike works as a parking lot attendant at the courthouse. In his off-hours he engages in security and "muscle" jobs to help support Stacey and Kaylee. Jimmy frequently deals with Mike when leaving the parking lot, irritated with Mike's demands for payment or the right number of validation stickers.
He intended for a "Good Samaritan" to free the driver, but learns from Nacho that when someone did stop to help, the truck driver called Hector first, and Hector's crew cleaned up the scene and killed the Good Samaritan. Mike decides to kill Hector and procures a black market sniper rifle.
Mike finds his moves have been tracked by Gus Fring, the owner of the Los Pollos Hermanos restaurant chain, which is part of the cartel's drug trafficking chain. Gus meets with Mike and explains that he does not want Hector dead until Gus decides the time is right. He encourages Mike to continue to disrupt Hector's drug trafficking and attempts to pay him, but Mike does not accept the money. He asks for help to launder the $250,000 he stole, and Gus obliges by arranging for Madrigal Electromotive, the parent company of Los Pollos and a participant in its drug activities, to hire Mike as a contracted security consultant and pay him monthly consulting fees. Mike joins Stacey at group therapy sessions to help her overcome Matt's death.
