Don Eduardo "Lalo" Salamanca, known north by his alias Jorge de Guzman, is a Mexican drug lord and a high-ranking capo of the Cartel, alongside his uncle Hector Salamanca, their boss Eladio Vuente, and colleague Juan Bolsa.
A member of the Salamanca family, Lalo is the grandson of Abuelita and one of Don Hector's nephews, having four cousins who are also involved in criminal activities within the Salamanca drug faction in the cartel: his main cousin and fellow distributor Tuco, his hitmen cousins Marco and Leonel, and his first cousin once removed who works as Eladio's bodyguard, Joaquin. He is also one of Saul Goodman's most notable criminal clients, with Saul subsequently receiving a lot more criminals seeking his services as a result of him being Lalo's lawyer.
Background Information
Eduardo Salamanca was born in Mexico and was raised by his uncle, Hector, as an enforcer of the Cartel like the rest of his cousins. He once assisted Hector in torturing a hotel proprietor for disrespecting the two of them, and burning the proprietor to death and his hotel down, with Lalo keeping a desk bell as a souvenir of the ordeal. ("Wiedersehen").
Lalo became a major cartel lieutenant. Later earning the status as a Capo of the cartel, second only to Don Eladio in status, and he was referred to as "Don" like the rest of the Cartel leaders. He was put in charge of the cartel’s enforcement arm in Michoacán, and was a high profile narcotics distributor.
He took up residence in a large, heavily fortified compound in Chihuahua. At his estate, Lalo attained his own found family, which consisted of his loving housekeeper Yolanda, his cheerful gardener Cecilio, and his four good natured bodyguards, Miguel, Ciro, Herardo, and Raul. Not too far from the compound lived a couple named Mateo and Sylvia Ramos. Lalo stepped in as their benefactor by paying for Mateo’s teeth to be fixed. However in actuality, he was only using them in the potential case of faking his own death in the future.
Lalo Salamanca was shown to be a ruthless, highly intelligent, sadistic, somewhat humorous and exuberant man who was blindly loyal to the cartel and his family members. He was cheerful and charismatic, but vicious when the situation called for it. Eladio himself said that Lalo had great "showmanship" abilities, something he demonstrated throughout all the seasons Better Call Saul, he appeared in, such as before killing Fred Whalen, he sneaked up above the ceiling paneling and right after he dropped in front of him. Lalo was notable for being the only member of the Salamanca family that Gustavo Fring truly feared due to Lalo's persistence, cunning and discovering of Gus' secret intent to undercut and ultimately sabotage the Cartel and his family.
Lalo was shown to be very capable of cold-blooded murder as seen when he brutally murdered Fred and Howard (for finding out what Mike was up to and simply wanting to talk to Saul Goodman and Kim Wexler, respectively) and as revealed by a story he enthusiastically recounted of torturing and burning a hotel proprietor to death alongside his uncle and keeping his uncle's famed desk bell as a souvenir, almost as a trophy. During his bail hearing, Lalo showed a complete lack of remorse for killing Fred, as well as total indifference to the victim's family being there. He was also more than willing to murder two close acquaintances, Sylvia and Mateo, simply to fake his own death for the purpose of punishing those responsible. In addition, he senselessly murdered Howard, a complete stranger to him, simply for getting in his way. While Kim and Saul were extremely shocked, Lalo maintained his calm demeanor, acting as though it was nothing. Just before he confronted Gus, Lalo effortlessly gunned down all of his men.
Lalo was shown to be an extremely skilled investigator as well as seen during his tailing of Mike, his search for Werner Ziegler and eventually Gus' secret construction project, showing his dedication to accomplishing whatever goal he was focused on. He was also shown to be a seasoned brawler, tactician, and marksman as he was able to single-handedly able take out at least 5 assassins sent by Gus to kill him and also disable Casper with a concealed razor blade and chopping off his foot with an axe even after being knocked down. His strong cunning was seen by him faking his own death in order to exact revenge on Gus and Nacho and also tracking down Werner's widow, Margarethe, and interrogate her for information while posing as a harmless business man. Lalo is also shown to be a skilled chef, making a dish when he met Nacho Varga that he referred to as delicious, and saying he used a "special recipe" that is "a family secret".
Despite his villainous nature, Lalo was shown to genuinely care for his family members, notably his disabled uncle and also his servants and close friends who reside at his estate with him, as seen by his barely contained rage following their deaths as a result of the assassination attempt; although he did treat one of his servants very badly and even used him as a shield when assassins sent by Gus tried to kill him. In addition, Lalo was far from being completely heartless or merciless as, despite murdering two disrespectful coyotes prior, he ensured that the undocumented immigrants being transported by the two gained their money back, nor did he choose to murder witnesses to his crime to cover his tracks, an almost complete contrast to his cousins Leonel and Marco. While talking with Saul about the murder of his servants, Lalo expresses anger over their senseless deaths, including the murder of a 17-year-old boy he'd known since the boy was very young who had never hurt anybody. After being berated by Kim Wexler for mistreating Saul McGill, Lalo left her apparent because he respected that Kim had the balls to stand up to him despite the seemingly life-or-death situation she and Saul were in. Lalo's other relatives are shown to have similar levels of respect for people with the balls to stand up to them (with Tuco respecting Walt, and Hector respecting Mike).

•Tony Dalton's portrayal of Lalo has received critical acclaim, with some critics deeming him one of the best villains on television.
•Lalo is left-handed.
•According to Dalton, Lalo was not originally meant to be very charming; he felt the series needed someone "kind of smiling and carefree and a little bit mischievous" like Saul but "in the bad guy's part".
•Dalton took inspiration from Samuel L. Jackson's character Jules Winnfield from Pulp Fiction to create this "[k]ind of this smart ass, sort of scary but kind of carefree, kind of a cool guy", as well as the negative characters portrayed by Jack Nicholson. He also sought to move away from his role in the TV series Sr. Ávila as a hitman with "zero personality" whom he likened to a wall.
•Dalton toned down Lalo's Mexican accent because of his belief that the character, given his wealth, was educated in a "good school" in the United States. Instead, he went for an accent that he had developed from growing up around Laredo, Texas.
•Dalton gave Lalo a more upbeat personality to show the character's normally easy take on life and distance him from the typical portrayal of cartel members as serious about their work.
