Legacies' Jed Backstory Reveal Finally Explains Why He Was Such A Bully
Warning: Spoilers for Legacies season 4, episode 13, «Was This The Monster You Saw?»
In Legacies season 4, episode 13, Jed's tragic backstory was finally revealed and it explains why he spent so much of the first three seasons being a bully. Through the first two seasons, Jed (Ben Levin) was a jerk, little more than a two-dimensional jock trope who liked to swing around his weight as Legacies' werewolf alpha. At one point, he even made out with Alyssa Chang (Olivia Liang), even knowing at the time that she was MG's (Quincy Fouse) girlfriend. For a long time, Jed seemed destined to only show up to be comic relief or to fulfill the role of Salvatore School bully.

But it was also because, in the third season, he started to show flashes of being more than a dumb jock with a mean streak. Legacies season 4 started to tease that he had an incredibly dark backstory regarding how he became a werewolf. Though it was brought up a few times by other characters, Jed always shied away from talking about it.
