Steven Gomez

Stevan Michael Quezada as Steven Gomez

Gomez is Hank's partner at the DEA Albuquerque office. A mellow foil to Hank's boisterous team leader, "Gomey" is developing leads with Hank on the investigation into Heisenberg's notorious blue crystal.

The relationship between the two partners is based on mutual respect, but also plenty of ribbing about everything from bad breath to their suspects' ethnicity. When Hank describes Tuco as Gomez's homey, his partner is right back at him: "Tuco wasn't my homey — anymore than Charlie Manson was yours."

The camaraderie Hank enjoys with Gomez — who often provides Hank some perspective on the Hispanic community — is something he finds missing when he begins his part-time assignment in the DEA's El Paso unit.

When Hank returns to Albuquerque after being ambushed in Mexico, he and Gomez resume their hunt for Heisenberg. The hunt culminates in a street bust that, unbeknownst to either agent, was orchestrated by Walt's shady attorney Saul Goodman.

Though Gomez is satisfied with the arrest, Hank suspects the real Heisenberg is still out there.
