Donald Jared Dunn, known to most as simply Jared, is a supporting protagonist - and later the deuteragonist - in the HBO comedy series Silicon Valley. He is a former finance worker at Hooli, the main rival of Pied Piper, who joins Pied Piper to support a company he saw potential in. He is promoted to being the deutergaonist by the third season. He was portrayed by Zach Woods.
Like with most of the main character of the series, we don't know much about Jared's history before the start of the series, hough it is implied to be dark. In Season three Jared tells Erlich that he doesn't know his date of birth as his first CPS worker never located his birth certificate. In season Six Jared tracks down his parents and finds that they had children before and after him and that they give him up for a stupid reason. It's implied that Jared was placed in the American adoption system where he wasn't treated well and which leads him to yell in German whilst asleep. His best friends were Winnie, a stuffed animal made out of a Ziploc bag, old newspaper, and marker, and an imaginary Harriet Tubman. "We were always planning our big escape," he has said of the latter.

At some point Jared must have been adopted as he refers to an Aunt and Uncle Jerry and the mean comments they make about him such as his Uncle saying that he has "Ghost like features" and that he "looks like somebody tried to starve a virgin to death". His Aunt also refer to him as glasshole due to his the fragility of his posterior. Despite this rocky early life went on to study at Vassar College, earning a B. A. in Economics and is working at Hooli.
