Character from Breaking Bad by Vince Gilligan
The head of the Juárez Cartel who killed Gus's partner and spent twenty years not realizing the quiet chicken man was building a weapon pointed directly at his throat.
Don Eladio Vuente is the Juárez Cartel's leader — the man who ordered Max Arciniega's execution in 1989, forcing Gus to watch as a lesson in respect. He spared Gus because of his mysterious Chilean connections. He spent the next twenty years collecting tribute from Gus's drug operation without ever suspecting that every dollar, every chicken, every batch of meth was building toward a single bottle of poisoned tequila. Gus brought the tequila as a 'gift.' Everyone drank. Everyone died. Including Don Eladio, face-down in his own pool. Twenty years of revenge in one toast.
Silver-haired, commanding, with the relaxed confidence of a man who knows everyone around him is afraid. Pool parties, gold chains, the aesthetic of a cartel boss who has had decades to enjoy his power.
Also known as: Don Eladio, Eladio Vuente
