“	Who are you talking to right now? Who is it you think you see? ...Do you know how much I make a year? I mean, even if I told you, you wouldn't believe it. Do you know what would happen if I suddenly decided to stop going to work? A business big enough that it could be listed on the NASDAQ goes belly up; disappears, it ceases to exist without me. No, you clearly don't know who you're talking to, so let me clue you in. I am not in danger, Skyler. I am the danger. A guy opens his door and gets shot and you think that of me? No. I am the one who knocks!	„

Background

Credits to the Breaking Bad Wiki for the information.

Walter Hartwell White Sr., also known by his clandestine pseudonym and business moniker Heisenberg, is a chemist and drug kingpin living in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Walt is a former high school chemistry teacher at J. P. Wynne High School who, after being diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, starts manufacturing crystal methamphetamine with his former student, Jesse Pinkman, in order to pay for his treatments and secure the financial future of his family: his wife Skyler, son Walt Jr., and infant daughter Holly.

Due to Walt's skill with chemistry and dedication to perfection, the meth he cooks is astonishingly pure and potent - and due to an alternative chemical process he uses to create it, it has a distinct blue coloration. Walt's "Blue Sky" catches the attention of dealers who want a piece of such high-quality product, and also the DEA who want to find out where it's coming from. Walt adopts the moniker "Heisenberg" as an alias as he immerses himself in the drug trade and works his way up to the international level, becoming a famous and feared drug kingpin.

The following synopsis contains massive spoilers for Breaking Bad.

In the 1980s, Walt co-founded the company Gray Matter Technologies with his friend Elliott Schwartz and then-girlfriend Gretchen, but he left both Gray Matter and Gretchen soon after and sold his stake in the company for merely $5,000, while Gretchen and Elliott married and then went on to propel Gray Matter Technologies to becoming a multi-billion dollar business. Walt was never credited for his early work in the company, and resented them for it for years after. Walt eventually took up two jobs as both a high school chemistry teacher and a car wash employee in order to stay financially afloat. Eventually, though, he was diagnosed with lung cancer, and, fearing the idea of dying without leaving any money to his family, Walt began to search for other means of making money. After joining his brother-in-law and accomplished DEA agent Hank Schrader on a drug bust and hearing from Hank about the lucrative profits that drug manufacturing and dealing could produce, Walt decided to use his knowledge of chemistry to become involved in the drug trade as a chemist and manufacturer in order to settle his financial woes and leave money behind for his family. Knowing nothing about the drug trade, he enlisted the aid of Jesse Pinkman, to help manufacture and, more importantly, sell his meth. Walt, by means of a P2P cook utilizing methylamine, produced methamphetamine of unrivaled chemical purity and a distinctive blue color, which was christened "Blue Sky" by dealers and users alike and which instantly began to dominate the market thanks to its potency. While initially heavily reluctant to use violence, Walt gradually came to see it as a necessity, and eventually developed into a ruthless drug lord motivated largely by vanity, ego, and greed. At the beginning of his new career, he and Jesse made mere thousands of dollars through street dealing, and were constantly met with failure. Following multiple tense, deadly partnerships with distributors Tuco Salamanca and Gustavo Fring that ended in their respective deaths, however, and with the help of Jesse, Gus's former enforcer Mike Ehrmantraut, and Lydia Rodarte-Quayle, Walt eventually became the head of his own drug empire: the largest methamphetamine manufacturing operation in US history, branching as far as Eastern Europe, and enlisting Skyler to help him launder the profits. After accumulating over $80 million USD from his involvement in the drug trade, and following a resurgence in his cancer, Walt retired from the drug business permanently. However, shortly after, Hank accidentally stumbled upon a vital clue that led him to the realization that his own brother-in-law, Walt White, was in fact the famed drug kingpin that he had been chasing for a year: Heisenberg. Though Walt attempted to blackmail Hank by threatening to paint Hank as Heisenberg and himself as a victim of Hank, Hank was able to corner Walt with help from Jesse, who finally betrayed Walt after a devastating revelation. Walt fell into a trap when Jesse falsely threatened to burn his accumulated fortune, and Hank and his longtime DEA partner Steve Gomez finally arrested him. At the last minute, though, Jack Welker and his gang appeared, Walt having just minutes before called them to come save him from Jesse, who Walt had thought was alone and about to kill him. Walt pleaded with Jack, but could not stop him, and, following a large shootout, Steve was killed and Hank was executed. Walt had his entire fortune stolen by the gang, save for one barrel of money that Jack left him. Seething, with the rewards of all his drug efforts stolen and his brother-in-law dead, Walt betrayed Jesse to Jack, who, at Todd Alquist's request, took Jesse as a slave to cook meth for him and his gang. Walt returned home and attempted to escape with his family, but Skyler and Walt Jr. resisted him, and, desperate, Walt left them, kidnapping Holly (though he later had her returned) and berating Skyler in a DEA-tapped phone call in an attempt to paint her as a victim and absolve her of any criminal guilt or suspicions. With his whole family and most law enforcement now against him, though, Walt went into hiding in New Hampshire with the help of a disappearer and remained in hiding for almost a year. Eventually, he returned to Albuquerque to both say farewell to Skyler and to give her the coordinates to Hank and Steve's undiscovered bodies so that she could strike a deal in court and get their family's life back, to settle an old dispute, and to ensure his family's financial security once and for all. Walt went on to confront and then massacre Jack's entire gang, executing Jack in the same way that Jack did Hank and getting revenge for the murders of both Hank and Steve. In doing so, Walt set Jesse free from his slavery, and quietly succumbed to a ricocheted bullet wound he sustained in the massacre on the floor of a meth lab, having finally resolved many of the problems he had caused.

While he killed Emilio in the pilot episode, he only did so out of self defense, as he and Krazy-8 had threatened both his and Jesse's lives. Even after Krazy-8 escaped from Walter's red phosphorous attack and was subsequently captured, Walter was unwilling to kill him due to his own moral standards, despite killing him being the most logical decision to make due to the threat Krazy-8 posed to Walter, Jesse, and both their respective families had he been let go, and was only able to bring himself to kill him after he figured out that Krazy-8 stole a large plate shard and was going to kill him with it after he had been released, even apologizing to him after strangling him to death.

Intelligence: Genius (Despite only being a high school chemistry teacher, Walter is an extremely skilled chemist, being the self-proclaimed best meth cook in all of America, and possibly the entire world. After switching to a p2p cook, the purity of his meth reached as high as 99.1%, making it by far the most valuable meth on the market, even catching the attention of Gustavo Fring. Trained Jesse Pinkman to be almost as good of a meth cook as himself, despite Jesse having no formal background in chemistry and even having flunked his chemistry class in high school, with his meth reaching purity levels of up to 96.2% unassisted, outclassing even the likes of Gale Boetticher, who graduated with a bachelor's degree in chemistry and learned Walter's formula. Co-founded Gray Matter Technologies with Elliot Schwartz and Gretchen Schwartz, which would go on to be worth $2.16 billion. Constructed a turret from scratch and used it to wipe out Jack Welker's gang, despite having no formal background in engineering. Constructed a pipe bomb from scratch and was able to lure Gus into a trap so he could kill him with it. Managed to hide his underground meth operation from his relatives, including Hank Shrader, who is a DEA agent and one of the best investigators on his team, for over a year, with Skyler and Hank only finding out through specific moments of carelessness from Walter. Came up with a plan with the help of Jesse to rob a train completely undetected, taking 1,000 pounds of methylamine from one of the train cars and replacing its weight with about 920 pounds of water. Outsmarted both Mike Ehrmantraut and Victor even when he was backed into a corner by them, creating an opportunity for Jesse to kill Gale so that Gus would still need both of them. Convinced Declan to become his distributor, despite the fact that he originally wanted to get the Blue Sky meth off the streets and was unwilling to compromise on the methylamine sale)

Trivia

• Walter is one of the only two characters who appear in every episode of Breaking Bad, the other being Jesse Pinkman.
  • Walter is the only character to have spoken dialogue in every episode, with Jesse having no dialogue in the episode "Buried".
• Walter sold his share of Gray Matter to Elliot for $5,000, towards the end of the show, his share would be worth upwards of 720 Million Dollars. This was inspired by the real-life story of Apple co-founder Ron Wayne selling his interest in Apple to Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs for $2,300 missing out on billions of dollars.
• In 2016, Vince Gilligan finally revealed the true reason for why Walter left Gray Matter. He revealed that Walter left Gretchen and Gray Matter because he felt inferior to her and her wealthy family, thus confirming that his ego and pride were the reasons why.
• Walter was born in 1958, because Jane Margolis' father mentions she was "twenty seven next month" and that her date of birth was April 1982, so the year is 2009. So "Pilot" takes place in 2008, since the most recent occurrence of Walt's birthday, in September, must have happened in the year before, and Walt turns 50. So then, "Fifty-One" takes place in 2009, and "Felina" in 2010. This is further confirmed by Vince Gilligan in an interview that Better Call Saul takes place "in 2002" and "6 years before Saul meets Walt White".
• Bryan Cranston developed most of Walter's backstory, and also partially chose his attire. When he developed Walt's mustache, he said he wanted it to look like a dead mouse.
• Walter's doctor told him he may live two years in the best scenario: He lived almost two years after his diagnosis, missing the 2-year mark by a single day.
• Walter's gunshot wound in the finale is at his right side of his lung and is also on the opposite side of the same spot where he shot Mike.
• Walter has killed (inadvertently or otherwise) 201 people (including himself).
• Walter has the last on-screen death of the show.
• Walter is 5'11" (180 cm) and 165-170 lbs (75–77 kg).
• According to Aaron Paul's audition tape, Walter was originally supposed to be 41 years old.
