In Better Call Saul, what alias does Jimmy McGill use while living in Omaha?

While living in Omaha after the events of Breaking Bad, Jimmy McGill uses the alias Gene Takavic.

Gene works as a manager at a Cinnabon in a shopping mall and tries to remain anonymous. His black-and-white storyline opens and closes Better Call Saul, showing the consequences of the Saul Goodman identity after his criminal career collapses.

The alias is part of Jimmy’s attempt to evade capture and avoid recognition. Even while living quietly, he remains drawn toward risk, manipulation, and his former habits. The series uses Gene’s life to explore whether Jimmy can abandon the identities he created or must finally confront them.

Gene Takavic is not the same identity as Saul Goodman. Saul is Jimmy’s flamboyant professional persona, while Gene is the guarded alias he adopts in Omaha. Victor St. Claire is another name associated with Jimmy’s identity games, but it is not his Omaha alias.
