However,Howard Hamlin is far from a bad person.
He never does anything morally wrong in theBreaking Badprequel.
Compared toBetter Call Saul’s other characters, Howard plays by the rules and comes off as fairly level-headed.
However,such qualities also fail to make Howard a villain.
While Jimmy and Kim have questionable and constantly wavering morals, Howard remains consistent in his views.
He has flaws, but he doesn’t seem bitter or resentful like Chuck, either.

Howard’s an ordinary guy, and he even tries to do right by Jimmy.
At most, Howard is a flawed but decent person throughout theBreaking Badprequel.
But even his flaws seem less extreme compared to everyone else’s.
Better Call Saul follows small-time lawyer Jimmy McGill as he navigates the legal world to make ends meet. The series, set six years before his encounter with Walter White, chronicles Jimmy’s evolution into Saul Goodman, with notable interactions alongside fixer Mike Ehrmantraut.
While Chuck isn’t a clear-cut villain either, he fits the description much better than Howard.
Chuck actually gives Jimmy and viewers reasons to be angry with him.
He thwarts his brother at every turn, and he’s arguably responsible for what Jimmy becomes.
Later seasons prove Howard isn’t nearly as bad.
