Zied

Zied is a jinni who first appeared in the tenth episode of the fourth season of Legacies.
==Early History==
At some point in history, Zied spent centuries granting wishes to humans, watching their selfish desires lead them to ruin. It was sad, then turned tragic when one of those same humans murdered him. After his death, he found himself in Limbo with a staggering debt owed to the Ferryman. He wishes for Peace, as everyone trapped in Limbo should and has spent an untold amount of time collecting souls as a workforce; subcontractors to right the wrongs of Limbo and help others, including himself, reach Peace.
==Throughout Legacies Series==
===Season Four===
In The Story of My Life, within the clock tower, Alaric, Landon, and the Necromancer make their way into an underground bar. Believing that the sphinx has never lied to them, someone here must know their way out of Limbo. At the bar they meet a blue-faced man, a jinni. Alaric tells the jinni to hold the drinks as they're going to need three wishes instead.
In Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost, Zied appears before Alaric, Landon, and the Necromancer, introducing himself. He has a contract for the three of them to sign to get their three wishes, one wish for each of them. Zied explains that granting three wishes is a bit of a myth and that the number is entirely up to the discretion of the jinni. Three wishes between the three of them, he believes should be plenty, that is if they use them right. Landon already knows that Zied doesn't want them to use the wishes right and the one from his campaign was a total con man and the three wishes likely come at a heavier cost. The Necromancer reminds him that they don't have any coins, but that's not what Zied is after. After reading the contract, Alaric learns he wants their souls. Three wishes for three souls.
After debating over the contract, and to their order of wishes, Zied agrees to the new terms and accepts the signed contract. The Necromancer immediately distrusts Zied for his willingness, believing that he's in league with the sphinx. Alaric, however, believes that he means if souls can just wish themselves back to Peace, then he wonders why this place is so packed. Zied explains that they all want to go back and that is what keeps them trapped here in Limbo. Not the coins, but, perhaps, the fear of the unknown. When push comes to shove, even when Peace is at their very fingertips, it's always something else. People wish for the world and the worldly comforts they know. That's the trap.
After Landon makes his first wish, he appears to Landon and the Necromancer at the Salvatore School. He explains that once a wish commences, he is tethered to it, though wanted to warn them about something. Landon quips about warning them about not bringing Alaric back, but Zied clarifies that he was unaware of his complication and his soul remains back at the bar. Per their contract, he has granted his wish exactly; "Bring the three of us back to life." Zied does not know why he lingers in Limbo. Landon thinks that he's just trying to get them to burn through another wish, but they won't be fooled. Regardless, Zied offers them his warning. If they're supposedly dead and their friends see him, only for them to eventually fail and use their second wish, this encounter could alter their perception of reality. Every mind is different, but he has seen it drive people mad. With his warning given, he vanishes back to Limbo.
Back in the bar, Alaric fights him, repeatedly punching him. Alaric, however, is surprised to see Landon and the Necromancer back in Limbo and furious that Zied never sent him back. The Necromancer explained that he technically didn't have to, because he's technically not dead. They come to the conclusion that they wasted their first wish. They want to know what game he's playing. Zied offers them all a drink and an explanation.
After Alaric's wish is completed, the Necromancer drags Landon back to the bar, offering Zied his soul for his salvation army. Zied reminds him that he'll be joining Landon too unless he wishes himself to Peace. However, the Necromancer wishes himself to be free of his contract. That is just what Zied expected. Landon assumes that Alaric screwed him over on his way out. Alaric had wished for him to become the Necromancer again, but that his powers only be capable of returning him and Landon back to life. He also specified that if he wished for anything other than Peace, their third and final wish would be rendered null and void. The Necromancer's servitude begins at midnight.
