Images of Benicio Fuentes

Benicio Fuentes (The Lead Chemist) ran the Juárez Cartel's superlab in Mexico.

Jesse Pinkman was brought down to teach him how to cook Blue Sky meth at 96% purity but Don Eladio decided that Jesse was to stay and replace the chemist instead. The chemist, who had many college degrees, was offended that someone like Jesse could be better than him.

The chemist died along with the rest of the Juárez Cartel when Gus Fring poisoned them all via a bottle of tequila. ("Salud")
