In Better Call Saul, what alias does Jimmy McGill use when posing as a business owner to scam Ken Wins?

The story behind the answer

Jimmy McGill uses the alias “Viktor St. Clair” when he and Kim scam Ken Wins in Better Call Saul.

The alias appears in “Switch,” the season-two premiere. Jimmy and Kim target Ken Wins, an arrogant stockbroker, by pretending to be wealthy strangers interested in expensive tequila. Jimmy introduces himself as Viktor St. Clair, while Kim adopts the name Giselle Saint-Clair.

The con temporarily gives Jimmy and Kim excitement outside their professional lives. It also shows how naturally they work together when manipulating people, a quality that later contributes to more serious schemes.

Viktor St. Clair should not be confused with Gene Takavic, Jimmy’s later identity in Omaha, or Saul Goodman, the professional name he adopts for legal work. “Kevin Costner” is another separate deception Jimmy uses in a different scam.
