Jared is the leader of the raider gang operating in Lexington in 2287.
Background
As a child, he spent time with Mama Murphy, who correctly predicted Jared's later abduction by raiders and that he would one day "be a monster." He recognized the potent power that she had by being able to correctly predict the future, realizing that if he could harness it for himself, nothing in the Commonwealth would ever be able to stop him. After his gang took over Lexington and the Corvega assembly plant, he began attempting to duplicate Mama Murphy's ability, self-medicating with large dosages of chems, to no avail. He eventually realized that this would not work and decided to look for other test subjects. He even began recruiting new members by enticing them with free chems in order to experiment on them, neglecting to build up defenses in favor of sheer manpower.[1][2][3]
When Gristle informed him of an elderly woman traveling with a caravan, Jared sent his lieutenant after them, certain that she was the fortune teller. This woman was indeed Mama Murphy, who was traveling with Preston Garvey and the other survivors of the Quincy Massacre, searching for a spot to start rebuilding their lives.[4]
