The moral clarity of Nacho Vargo

There’s a reason why Mike and Nacho get along. They both have moral codes that are…let’s say eccentric. But their commitment to their own personal sense of right and wrong allows them to navigate a criminal underworld filled with psychopaths without becoming monsters themselves.

We know a lot about Mike’s code since he has at least three speeches per season on the subject, but Nacho’s more taciturn and doesn’t get the screen time, so it takes a little more attention to figure out what’s going on with him.

Nacho is not a “good” person. We don’t know for sure what made him turn to a life of crime, although we can guess. His dad lives a humble life, which Nacho presumably found unsatisfactory. Like Jimmy, he wanted more. And also like Jimmy, he saw how rigged the system is against people like him.

So, he turned to crime. Nacho is not a sadist – he doesn’t enjoy hurting people the way Tuco does. He doesn’t have an insatiable ego like Walter White – he isn’t interested in proving what a super cool badass drug dealer he is to the world. He entered the Game to get money – lots of it.

And in his pursuit of wealth, Nacho never, ever forgets that he is a pawn. The real players would have no qualms sacrificing him to achieve their own ends. And so Nacho, sensibly, gives zero fucks about loyalty to them.

I joke a lot about Nacho’s treachery, but it makes perfect sense for him to look out for himself and no one else. These people – the cartel in general, the Salamancas in particular – make a big deal about fidelity, but that does not run both ways. Nacho is disposable. He knows it.

Much like Jimmy’s tribulations in the straight world, Nacho has seen firsthand how little he matters. His willingness to stab these assholes in the back without remorse is something that I find genuinely delightful. Most of us can’t help but form attachments to the people we work with, even if they’re horrible. Nacho’s moral clarity allows him to remain detached, and to act with cool precision in situations that would overwhelm others.

Which brings us to Nacho’s moral code. Nacho entered the criminal underworld with his eyes wide open. He doesn’t try to rationalize his choices, the way people like the Kettlemans and Pryce/Daniel do. No, he’s a criminal, just like anyone else who gets into the Game. And if you enter the Game, you made the same choice he did. It’s not his job to protect you from your bad decisions. The risks are obvious. If you’re in the Game, you play to win, period.

Nacho does not stab innocent backs. He only goes after people who are criminals themselves. In the first two episodes of the series, Nacho saves Jimmy’s life, and then tells Jimmy he wants to go after the Kettlemans’ money “because thieves have no recourse.” I suspect that it’s more than convenience. While no one would call him a hero, he dislikes dragging innocent people into criminal messes. He makes sure that the civilians get to leave when Hector goes to shake down Fring. He protects Amber when Fring’s men come for him. He asks Fring’s assassins to spare Lalo’s elderly staff. And of course, he’s willing to put his life on the line to save his father.

On the flip side, he never forgets who the people he works with truly are. They’re monsters. Occasionally they are very sexy, but they’re still horrible people who would delight in ripping him into pieces the moment he stops being useful. His initial betrayal of Tuco comes across as cold—I mean, Tuco is his friend! His business partner! Who Nacho only wants to murder to cover up how he’s already doublecrossing him!

But Nacho’s moral clarity strips away the “friend” and “partner” label that people with more conventional moral trappings would project onto Tuco. Tuco is a maniac. He shot someone in the face in a fit of drug-induced paranoia – while Nacho was standing directly behind the dude and could have been hurt himself. Tuco is a cheerful, fully committed participant in the Game. Why should Nacho waste any emotional energy on this guy? It’s literally kill or be killed. Tuco’s from a cartel family. He knew what he was getting into.

Of course, the world isn’t nearly that black and white and his code runs into problems when it comes to people like Domingo. But on the whole, his ability to avoid extending emotional energy on people who don’t deserve it makes him an excellent player in the Game, which ironically endears him to the Salamancas. Don’t feel bad for them, though. They have it coming. Even the sexy ones.
