Ed Galbraith, also known as the Disappearer, is a supporting character in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul and the tritagonist of El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. He is a cautious man operating as both a vacuum cleaner salesman and a criminal disappearer who successfully harbors Walter White, Saul Goodman, and Jesse Pinkman at different times in the Breaking Bad-Better Call Saul universe.

Personality

Ed is an extremely intelligent and cautious person who follows a direct set of rules when committing his crimes. If anyone were to violate these rules he would refuse service. Although Ed regularly rejects those who violate his rules, it is shown that he can show sympathy for someone. He ends up giving Jesse a second chance when he saw how desperate he was and he also gives Saul a second chance for the same reason.

Biography

Season 4

Walter ends up feeling threatened by Gustavo Fring, he turns to Saul who mentions Ed. Walt turns down the idea, wanting another solution that doesn't involve running away. Later, when Gus is moving in to get Walt's brother-in-law, Hank Schrader, assassinated, Walt calls for Ed's contact details from Saul. Walt ends up going home to collect the money for the extraction but he doesn't have the sufficient amount of money due to Skyler White giving the money to Ted Beneke.

Season 5

Walt and Saul arrange to get Ed to extract and get Jesse out of town to avoid prosecution in connection to Heisenberg but Jesse ends up finding out about Walt's manipulation and poisoning of Brock so he forfeits the extraction.

Walter and Saul flee to New Hampshire and Nebraska respectively with the help of Ed. Walter lives months in isolation but later comes back to atone for everything he's done and dies in the process. Saul ends up living out his days as Gene Takavic who runs a Cinnabon and suffers from constant paranoia of anyone suspecting him to be Saul Goodman.

El Camino

After Jesse escapes [[Jack Welker]] and his gang's clutches with the help of Walter, he enlists Ed to give him a second chance after collecting one third of Todd's money. Ed ends up feeling sympathy for Jesse and allows him a second chance at his services but he requires double the amount of money. Jesse ends up having $1,800 dollars short of the money he needs and he refuses to leave, leaving Ed to call the police on Jesse to get him away from him. Jesse sets out to get the last amount of money and kills Neil Kandy and Casey in the process due to being forced into a bad situation. Jesse returns to Ed and ends up getting extracted to Alaska. Ed is given a letter to young Brock Cantillo by Jesse for him to deliver and Jesse parts ways with the disappearer.

Better Call Saul

Saul Goodman as Gene Takavic is incredibly paranoid and he later crosses paths with a taxi driver who recognizes him. He decides to call Ed and, like what he asked Jesse, he asks him to pay double the price of the first time to which Gene agrees. Gene then changes his mind, telling Ed Galbraith that he's gonna fix things himself.
