In the Better Call Saul episode " Sabrosito", Hector suggests that Gus and Max, "The Chicken Brothers", might be better referred to as "The Butt Brothers", insinuating that they are gay. Gus and Max's relationship is implied to be more than business. In "Hermanos", Eladio says that when he ordered Max killed, he spared Gus because of his unstated but apparently powerful connection to Chile. As mentioned in the Better Call Saul episode " JMM", Gus and Peter had a shared experience in Santiago, which Gus mentions to Peter to calm him down when he panics over Lalo's attacks on Gus' business. Gus immigrated to Mexico in the 1980s during the Chilean dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, and in a flashback during the Breaking Bad episode " One Minute", Hector mockingly refers to him as "Big Generalissimo", implying that Gus had a connection to the Pinochet regime. In the Better Call Saul episode " Magic Man", Lalo Salamanca refers to a mysterious incident involving Gus which took place in Santiago. In the Better Call Saul episode " Piñata", he tells a comatose Hector a story about a coati that ate the fruit from a lúcuma tree which he tended during his childhood in Chile. He is supposedly a native of Chile, and is sometimes referred to by cartel members as "The Chilean". Gus has a mysterious background his name is likely an alias, since neither the DEA nor his own enforcer Mike Ehrmantraut could find any record of him prior to his arrival in Mexico. Because the Salamanca family drug business controlled by Hector also includes Albuquerque, Gus is forced to deal with him but seeks to undermine the Salamancas. After establishing himself in Albuquerque, Gus secretly looks to end his dependency on cartel cocaine by producing and distributing meth in the United States. For the next 20 years, Gus remains outwardly loyal to the cartel but nurses a grudge against Eladio, Juan Bolsa, and Hector, waiting for his chance at revenge. Eladio spared Gus, but forced him to co-operate with the cartel on Eladio's terms. Instead, Eladio had Hector Salamanca kill Max for selling meth in cartel territory without permission.
They approached Don Eladio Vuente, the leader of the cartel, with an offer to expand their drug trade with cartel help Eladio declined, as the cartel preferred to continue distributing cocaine. The Breaking Bad episode " Hermanos" shows that Gus and his long-time partner Max Arciniega started Los Pollos Hermanos as a front to sell methamphetamine that Max "cooked".
He is a Chilean-American major narcotics distributor in the Southwestern United States who uses several legitimate businesses, including a chain of successful fried chicken restaurants called Los Pollos Hermanos (The Chicken Brothers) and an industrial laundry facility called Lavandería Brillante (Bright Laundry), as fronts for a vast drug operation.
