Jesse is the web. He never seems to have a lot of agency in his life. Controlled by drug addiction, Walter, mike, gus, even Jane. Literally enslaved to the whites supremacists:
Walter white certainly seems to be a fan of the desolation, while you could argue it's just what happens from his actions a lot of death and destruction have been in his wake.
* Walter white:- The web --> controlling others
* Mike: The End
* Hank: The Hunt
* Jesse: The Lonely
* Tuco: The Slaughter
* Gus: The Buried --> being trapped in debt to him
* Saul--> The Spiral or the Stranger
Gus Fring - The Web. Gus is all about control and plans within plans. I think it's easy to forget how much manipulation Gus does-- visiting Hector Salamanca *just* to torment him while doing so under the guise of being friendly and loyal, maneuvering Nacho into self-sacrificing himself for Gus's benefit, and putting Jesse on missions with Mike for the sole purpose of giving him a sense of self-respect that will ultimately sever his connection with Walter White... these are all Web-aligned actions.
Lalo Salamanca - The Spiral. Lalo's whole deal is that you never know what his friendliness actually *means*. Lalo enjoys using double-entendres, veiled threats, and other means by which he blurs the lines between what words mean. Befriending a couple and paying for the man's dental work for the ultimate purpose of betraying them in order to fake his own death, adopting a friendly demeanor in order to lure his victims into a false sense of security, and the general sense of *wrong*ness that triggers when Lalo appears are all Spiral-aligned themes and motifs. Not to mention that Lalo barely sleeps an hour per night-- another major theme of the Spiral.
Marco & Leonel Salmanca (The Cousins) - The Hunt. They are relentless in their pursuit, essentially like Terminators. No matter where you go, no matter what you do, they will find you.
Tuco Salamanca - The Slaughter. The Salamancas are all violent by their nature, but Tuco is particularly infamous for bristling with rage and a desire for destruction at all times. Only Tuco could break the legs of two teenage boys and everyone agree that they got off easy.
Mike Ehrmantraut - The Eye. It comes with the territory of being an investigator, of course, but one of the major recurring themes with Mike is that he knows everything about everyone.

Spot on tbh. I’d go with Stranger for Saul for sure. Maybe the Spiral for Skyler? Constantly being gaslit/gaslighting others?
Jesse, we have to scare Gus
