Jed Tien

**Jedidiah "Jed" Tien** is an triggered werewolf and former Alpha of the Salvatore Boarding School pack who first appeared on the fourth episode of the first season of *Legacies*. He is a former recurring character, having been promoted to main in the third season.

## Early History

Jed was a member of a werewolf pack in which his father was the alpha. Jed knew his father as an abusive bully and their pack had harsh ways of initiating new wolves into their ranks. Jed's father pitted him and his friend Trey against one another, believing he would kill him to activate his curse. Instead of killing Trey, he saved his life, killed his father, and turned into a werewolf for the first time and ran off. Dr. Saltzman eventually found him, and joined the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted, where he eventually became the alpha of the school's werewolf pack.

## Personality

Having had an abusive father growing up, Jed was raised around violence and when he first came to the Salvatore School, he also became a bully—emulating his father's abusive behavior. He is confident and arrogant as the Alpha of the school pack. He has a temper, can be violent, and wants new members to submit to him such as when he assaulted Rafael for refusing to submit, and later when he blamed Landon for losing his status as Alpha to Rafael. He can also be 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 abuses his authority as Alpha, as he made his werewolf subordinates read his books instead of him. Though people think he's not smart, the grades he gets aren't for the lack of trying as he does the reading for topics that interest him, such as Mythology.

Despite his complex nature, he begins to grow and mature and lets go of the person he used to be. He is passionate about music and musical theater and becomes fond of other non-werewolf students, such as Wade, Kaleb, Alyssa, and Hope, as well as defend against those that talked down about Lizzie when presumed dead. He looked out for his new Alpha and helped tracked down and reunited Rafael with his parents. He notably began to show more concern over the welfare of other people, such as wanting to hear out Ben's backstory before casting judgement and commending Cleo's importance since joining the school when he once proudly confessed to disliking and beating up new people. After meeting Finch, his understanding on what made a good Alpha further improved with her help and humbling challenge. This ultimately lead him to chose her to succeed him, admitting that his priorities had changed and the pack needed someone who put them first.
