    They did tho? He’s a high ranking person in the cartel. He’s directly responsible for Salamanca being in the wheelchair.

    I get what you’re saying tho. They implied he was gonna be this legendary villian and then it’s revealed that he’s just another cookie cutter cartel member. It seemed like they were gonna go some route like he was a former cartel leader who got disgraced and was now building himself and his empire back up. But it kinda fell flat.

      In the flashback when they first pitch Meth to Don Eladio, he tells Gus that he “knows who he really is” but to beware because Gus isn’t in Chile anymore. Then when Gus is being interrogated by Hank they ask Gus why there’s no records of Gus prior to his emigration from Chile to Mexico. Gus’s excuse was that the government was terrieat keeping records, but the comment from Don Eladio implies there was something more to Gus’s past before he became involved with the Cartel. It’s never been explained afaik
