### Type of GH

Tragic Partner

Jesse Pinkman is the deuteragonist of *Breaking Bad*, the main protagonist of it's 2019 film sequel *El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie*, and a minor character that appears in *Better Call Saul*. He is a drug dealer that was first introduced in the first episode of Breaking Bad. Initially, Jesse teamed up with Walter White, so they could profit in a short-term partnership. However, due to Krazy-8 and Emilio Koyama threatening their lives, Jesse and Walter were forced to find other methods of selling their meth. Eventually, it led to Jesse digging deep into the criminal underworld where he grows increasingly traumatized over its brutality. Due to the dangers of the criminal life, Jesse quits being a drug dealer and is turned against Walter for the lies the latter had told him throughout their partnership.
