In Better Call Saul, which character uses the alias Gene Takavic in Omaha?

Jimmy McGill uses the alias Gene Takavic while living in Omaha in Better Call Saul.

After the events of Breaking Bad, Jimmy hides under a new identity and works as the manager of a Cinnabon in an Omaha shopping mall. The series presents these scenes largely in black and white, signaling his isolated life and the consequences of his past as Saul Goodman.

The Gene identity is not a separate person; it is one of several identities used by Jimmy during different stages of his life. His return to risky behavior eventually exposes him to people who recognize him, and the story moves toward his arrest and legal reckoning.

The alias is often discussed alongside Saul Goodman, Jimmy’s professional name. Saul represents his flamboyant criminal-lawyer persona, while Gene is the deliberately quiet identity he adopts after disappearing.
