— Jed to Rafael in Hope is Not the Goal

Jed is a former recurring character in the first and second seasons of Legacies, making his debut in the fourth episode. He has since been promoted to main as of the third season. He is a werewolf and Alpha of the Salvatore Boarding school pack.

Early History

Next to nothing is known about Jed's early history. All thats known is at some point before 2028 he triggered his curse and enrolled in the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted.

Throughout Legacies Series

In Hope is Not the Goal, he goes up to Rafael and Josie and tells Josie to leave. Rafael stands up and starts talking to him. Jed wants Rafael to submit into his pack, but Rafael leaves with Josie.

Later, he and his pack ambush Rafael in the hallway. Jed explains that it's simple to submit, all he has to do is tell them who he killed since he's recently triggered his curse. Rafael attempts to flee, but they have the upper hand and begin beating him up to make him submit but are stopped when Josie shows up to help him by casting a pain infliction spell. They eventually disperse and Jed gives Rafael another good kick to the stomach before following his buddies.

Later that night, he and the other wolves are playing basketball. They lose the ball and it makes it way over to Rafael, who returns it. Taking advice from Josie, Rafael reveals what triggered his curse. Jed tells him to kneel down but reveals to be joking and Rafael joins them in the game.

In Malivore, before the Honor council elections, he refused to support Rafael in voting for Landon to stay at the school. Later Rafael challenges him for the Alpha position in the Salvatore Boarding School pack and loses to him. In a fit of rage over losing his position, Jed later beats Landon up, blaming him for all that's happened. According to Emma, afterwards Jed ran away and she went to search for him.

In There's a World Where Your Dreams Came True, Lizzie Saltzman makes a wish to Ablah that Hope Mikaelson never came to the Salvatore boarding school. In the new wish reality, Jed comes to the boarding school, which is struggling financially due to lacking Hope's father's startup donation, as a potential recruit for the school. Lizzie and Josie show Jed around and introduce him to his alpha, Luis.

When Lizzie makes another wish, that the Salvatore Boarding School had never been started, Jed is instead recruited as a student at the Mikaelson Boarding School. He, Kaleb, Pedro and Hope respond to Lizzie exposing magic at Mystic Falls High School and is instructed to form a perimeter.

Again, Lizzie makes another wish with Ablah, resulting in a wish reality where Hope Mikaelson is never born. This new reality is apocalyptic, where supernaturals are exposed by Klaus Mikaelson and Triad Industries relentlessly hunt them. Lizzie promises to take him to the resistance who would smuggle him down to Mexico for safety. This reality, however, is wished away by Lizzie when she wishes that Ablah never encounters the monster that sent her to Malivore. The resulting wish essentially 'resets' reality, leaving Jed's fate unknown.

In I'll Tell You a Story, with Rafael still suffering from the lunar psychosis, Jed wonders if he's doing okay. He's been in gym class for an hour, affected by his unstable emotions which heavily distract him throughout the session - in the process, Rafael is almost hit with a ball. Before Jed could say anything else, Rafael snaps at him and takes the ball from his hands.

Later, Jed steps in between a confrontation between Rafael and another vampire student, both gearing up for a fight - Rafael's eye's glowing yellow and the vampire's eye's turning red and veiny. Roman Sienna steps in as well and quells the vampires, and Jed calms down Rafael and the other werewolves.

That night, Jed comes to Rafael. He tells him that he needs to find some help. Rafael scoffs at his sentiment and tells him not to pretend to care about him. Jed doesn't but he does care about the pack and they follow their alpha. Jed continues, that having an alpha who can't control himself means the pack gets hurt. Despite his own shortcomings as a leader, the pack is everything and if he cared about them, then he shouldn't let his pride get in the way.

In There's Always a Loophole, Jed agrees to help Hope find Landon and joins Kaleb, Josie and Lizzie. Despite is previous differences with Rafael, Jed tells him he's their Alpha and views Landon as part of the pack - he's willing to help. As they load up, they're stopped by Triad Industries and quickly discover they don't have magic to defend themselves. They're forced to let them inside the school.

Once inside, Triad instructs the students that they're looking for an artifact known as the Chalice of Arimathea. and believe that the school has it in its collection. They instruct the students to find it and then they'll leave. In the meantime, Jed and Kaleb work with MG to devise a plan to take back the school once they have their magic back. MG wonders if he remembers his opening move from last year's Wickery game, to which he does. MG instructs him and Kaleb to spread the word and wait for his signal.

With magic restored, Jed follows MG's plan and begins the assault on the Triad guards. Kaleb tosses him a metal pot and slides across a table and kicks a guard to the floor and bashes the pot on another guard. He tosses the pot to another student and continues to attack guards until he's restrained. Pedro however zip-ties the guards feet catching him off balance allowing Jed to escape. He gives Pedro a high five for the assistance and Kaleb carries the young student off to safety.

In This Year Will Be Different, he tells the other students to let Landon through as he was the one to defeat Malivore. He listens to the new headmaster, Vardemus, as he makes his speech to the students. Later, he attends class with Landon and Josie, and mentions how the new headmaster hasn't tried to kill them, to which Josie tries to stand up for her dad, but keeps quiet. He then looks when a witch runs out of the classroom after she is inflicted with a spell by Josie.

In Screw Endgame, he helps Rafael with moving the equipment for the DJ. He later attends the decade dance with the rest of the students.

In I Couldn't Have Done This Without You, he is in the gymnasium with the other werewolves getting ready to play a game of dodgeball when Landon and Sebastian walk in. He asks about Raf and starts the game with the others. After Sebastian gets hit by the ball, Jed shows a friendly attitude towards him. At lunch, he and the other werewolves face off against the witches and vampires when Alyssa Chang purposefully cuts her hand. He leads the werewolves out so no other problem can ensue.

In This is Why We Don't Entrust Plans to Muppet Babies, he is seen making out with Alyssa on Hope's bed until she walks in. He quickly gets up and apologizes to Hope. Later, after the Qareen has spread more discourse among the others, he and Kaleb argue, getting ready for a fight with each other.

In What Cupid Problem?, he attends a Super Squad meeting with Landon, Wade, Druscilla and Pedro about the Cupid problem. He agrees with what Landon says, but decides to go off and find the girl he wants to express his feelings for. This girl is revealed to be Emma, and he interrupts her and Dorian's wedding at the city hall. He tells her she is the only one who understands him and welcoming her into the pack, he and Dorian get into a fight over her.

In You Can't Save Them All, he is teamed up Kaleb and MG to find the magical equipment that was stolen. He tries to get MG to get the magical moth working so they can get the arsenal back quicker, but Kaleb tells him to stop giving orders. They are is some obvious tension, with MG thinking it's the vampire-werewolf faction issue. He grabs the moth from MG, shakes it and gets it to work, and the three walk.

As the three continue walking, the blue light emitting from the moth goes out. Kaleb and Jed began arguing, until MG steps in, thinking it's the faction thing. Kaleb reveals to him it's about Alyssa, and the two begin arguing again until MG points out the zombie jogger, with the blue light from the moth coming on again. They follow the zombie and Kaleb knocks him down, while Jed grabs a piece of wood and stabs him through the head, effectively killing him and grabbing the other moth hanging around the zombie's neck. He and Kaleb begin arguing again while MG hears something and goes into the abandoned trailer.

In Life Was So Much Easier When I Only Cared About Myself, Jed is visibly upset at the death of Alyssa Chang at Josie's hands, and brings her lifeless body into Alaric's office.

In Facing Darkness is Kinda My Thing, Jed helps Kaleb film memorial videos for Lizzie's "funeral". He and Kaleb find that not many people have happy memories of Lizzie, therefore the two must create their own video, albeit this is difficult as they too do not have fond memories of Lizzie. They later sing at Lizzie's funeral but are interrupted by MG when he realizes the two are a laughing stock.

In We're Not Worthy, Jed participates in the first ever Salvatore School Field Day. He eventually gets roped into Alyssa's vengeance against Josie and, with Kaleb, wins in a battle of tug-of-war which results in Josie falling and getting covered in mud. With the arrival of Nimue, the Lady of the Lake, she reveals that Wade has Excalibur and that the Green Knight is also in search of the sword. The Green Knight, however, was also released with Nimue and was right behind her. The sword issued a challenge for someone worthy to wield it. In an attempt to hold the Green Knight off, Jed leaps toward the knight, but is swatted away like a fly. Eventually, Rafael appears and pulls Excalibur from the stone and defeats the knight, saving them all.

In Goodbyes Sure Do Suck, Jed and the pack respect Rafael who's separating himself from the pack. They have to respect his privacy and keep their distance unless he chooses to reach out to them. That is their nature when dealing with a dying wolf. Despite their nature, they reach out to Walt, his father, and bring him to the Salvatore School to be with his son.

In Salvatore: The Musical!, Jed auditions for Landon's musical. Landon believes he wants to audition for Damon, just as everyone else, but Jed actually wants to portray Stefan Salvatore. Landon immediately gives him the role, exciting him; Stefan is, after all the anchor for the whole story. Despite personal revisions to Landon's script, the musical goes off without too many noticeable issues.

In Hold on Tight, Jed and the other Salvatore students take the fight against the Necromancer and his reanimated monsters at Mystic Falls High School. Competing against Kaleb, he slays two monsters to Kaleb's zero.

In This is What It Takes, Jed was invited to spend some time with Alyssa, MG, and Kaleb at a rented house with a pool. They all had stayed behind at the school after they went on break after everything that happened to Landon. However, their efforts were turning up empty, and they needed to get away and reset.

Jed and Alyssa found themselves alone at the house, and took advantage of their company. Aware of Kaleb's arrival, he strolled out of the house, stark naked, to retrieve some pizza for Alyssa, who called him sweetie.

In To Whom It May Concern, Jed works with the other remaining students to help show the prospective students what the Salvatore School can offer. As the tour continues, Hope and Kaleb lead the students into the gym where Jed and two other werewolves are working out. They introduce Jed as the pack alpha. One of the wolf tour students ask if the three of them are the whole pack. Reluctantly, Jed tells him that is intentional. At the Salvatore School, they pride themselves on having a high wolf-to-alpha ratio. Kaleb also tells them that Hope is also a wolf, too, and attempts to get her to inspire them. Unfortunately, the wolf tour student and another decide to leave the tour and the school altogether, though Jed takes the tour onward.

In Yup, It's a Leprechaun, All Right, Jed attends the morning assembly with the other remaining students. Alaric informs them that they officially have thirty students enrolled which makes them a school in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Lizzie takes the podium and announces that with fewer students, they have less tuition, and as a school, they've had to cut back. As of now their trips and dances have been canceled, but to help retain some semblance of normalcy, they've decided to have a fundraiser month to help bring in funds. Josie walks a city messenger into the school and delivers a notice to Alaric, where he informs the present students that the school has a property tax lien and owes $91,000 and must pay within the week. Lizzie declares that fundraiser month is canceled and they're combining everything into fundraiser day.

Jed is in charge of the car wash and begins with Kaleb's car. However, no one is present. Two hours isn't enough time to get people involved, however, with the arrival of the newest Malivore monster, a leprechaun, the townsfolk flock to the school to spend their money on the various activities at the school. Jed and Wade are in business and have a line of cars to wash. The crowd quickly descends into chaotic mob and the fundraiser day is eventually canceled.

In Long Time, No See, Jed and Wade sit together at breakfast. MG attempts to sit and eat with the pair, but Jed immediately stands to leave. He explains that he's an even bigger pariah than himself. While he appreciates MG taking the focus from himself, he just can't associate with him at the moment. As he leaves, he asks Wade if he too is coming, which he does.

Later, the squad meets with Hope and Alaric, discussing their course of action to save Landon from the prison world. Having the ascendant now, Hope plans to use the planetary transit that night; however, MG believes it's not enough time to prepare. Hope blames MG for keeping the ascendant a secret and refuses to wait another month for the next celestial event. Alaric informs them all that they need to be the ones to make their own decision, whatever is right for them. Jed explains that the pack is smaller than it used to be, but he'll rally the wolves to help. That is, if the witches stop spelling scarlet letters onto his shirts. Alaric believes that can be arranged.

In All's Well That Ends Well, Jed is working out. He's been booted from the gym because of the new monster, a banshee, he learns from Cleo. He's frustrated since he's been kicked to the "junior" squad ever since what happened with MG. He wants to find a way to make it up to all of them, but hasn't yet. Cleo supports and believes he will. He wonders what brings her up here. She tells him that she's supposed to be researching how to allow the banshee to speak without using her mouth, but considering she just found out that the monsters are coming to the school for her, she needed a moment to process. Jed is inspired and has an idea.He believes he knows how he can solve both of their problems at the same time.

They rush to Dr. Saltzman and he offers to use him to get the monster to speak, using him as a conduit. Landon finds the spell - Alias Vocem. It allows one to speak through another as a conduit, without being able to burst our eardrums. Everyone is surprised that he thought of it. The idea was brilliant. Landon adds to the thought and retrieves blue calamus. Hope casts the spell and uses Jed to speak, unable to wail and harm them.

However, as the moon rises, Jed begins to turn. Hope severs the spell and Alaric rushes him to the cells in the werewolf transformation space. Before he turns, he tells Alaric that while he was the banshee's conduit, he recalled a memory and believed he knew her name.

The following morning, he learns from Cleo that his plan worked. Because of him, the Kalen found peace. He thanks her for believing in him. Cleo, however, wonders if while he was the conduit if he knew why Malivore wanted her. He explains that he didn't, at first, but realizes she's a muse; a witch with a rare power of inspiration.

In You Can't Run From Who You Are, he and the others gather in the gym and attempt to help Cleo unlock her power to inspire. He believes, since he's the only person present to have been inspired by her, she needs to quit trying to force it. Let it just come natural to her. A mind meld he calls it. After a few short moments he believes he was inspired. He knows how to defeat Malivore. He thinks they can summon a time travel monster to send them back in time and stop him from being born. The idea, however, doesn't impress anyone. Alaric believes he could be on to something, in a roundabout way. He thinks that instead of trying to inspire them, she's the one that should be inspired. Eventually they all part ways as both Hope and Alaric are inspired. Hope and Landon head off to do some research as Alaric, Cleo, and Kaleb head off to Triad Industries.

In I Was Made To Love You, Jed works out with "Landon", who's been having sleeping issues since his return from Malivore.

Later, Jed's called to assist Alaric with translating Italian to understand Leonardo DaVinci. However, his abilities were poorly represented as he only vacationed in Rome and only understood a few words of Italian. Frustrated, Alaric sent him on his way as Cleo came into the office.

In One Day You Will Understand,

Personality

Jed is confident and arrogant due to being the Alpha of the school pack. He has a temper, which is common among werewolves and wants new members to submit to him. He seems to be a little rude towards other students that are not werewolves, such as Josie. He can, however, joke towards a new packmate with a serious look on his face. He is also a violent bully. He assaulted Rafael for previously refusing to submit to him and later Landon, blaming him for his misfortune after Rafael took his alpha status. He is also lazy as he made his werewolf subordinates read his books instead of him.

However, he had been shown what made him such a bad alpha and changed it ways. He started to look after Rafael and even went as far as helping the Super Squad find Landon. After Rafael turned into a werewolf for a while, he resumed his position as Alpha and became a better one, celebrating the fact that Landon destroyed Malivore, even though it was Hope, but they had no memory of her after throwing herself in the pit.

As the year progressed, Jed has matured and became someone that the Super Squad can trust and their friends.
