Ted Theodore Logan

Theodore "Ted" Logan (also known as Ted) was, along with his friend Bill, co-founder and guitarist of the rock-group Wyld Stallyns.

After an excellent adventure through time and a bogus journey through the afterlife, Bill & Ted's Wyld Stallyns eventually became known as the greatest rock-group to have ever lived, and their music became the basis of all society, inspiring universal harmony.

Theodore "Ted" Logan was born and raised in San Dimas, California. He lived with his father San Dimas Police Captain Jonathan Logan and his younger brother Deacon Logan. He met Bill S. Preston, Esq. and the two became friends forming their own band the Wyld Stallyns.

Ted is the epitome of a well-meaning slacker with a heart of gold. He’s upbeat, friendly, and often overly dramatic in speech, known for his iconic “Whoa!” reactions. Despite his goofy and airheaded moments, Ted is surprisingly insightful when it comes to friendship, loyalty, and creativity. His optimism and belief in people are what make him so lovable. He’s deeply bonded with his best friend Bill, treating him like a brother and partner-in-time.

He’s a dreamer — someone who truly believes that music can unite the world, even if he doesn’t always understand his history homework. Ted tends to ramble, use exaggerated gestures, and approach life with a sense of wonder.

In the year 2688 A.D. Rufus used a a time-traveling phone booth to travel back to 1988, some 700 years previously. His mission: to make sure that the Two Great Ones Bill & Ted remain together to form the band "Wyld Stallyns", whose music will become the core of the future's Utopian society. Rufus finds that Bill and Ted are on the verge of failing their high school history class, and, should Ted fail, his father, will ship him off to an Alaska military academy, effectively ending the pair's dreams of forming a band. As the two try to write a history report by asking customers questions at a local Circle K, Rufus introduces himself to them. Though Bill and Ted are skeptical of Rufus' claims, they are convinced when future versions of themselves land nearby and explain the situation to them. Rufus reveals to Bill and Ted the secrets of the Circuits of Time, which can transport the user anywhere in time. Their first stop: Austria, in the year 1805 and Napoleon Bonaparte, who is preparing to lead his French Imperial Forces into battle. Returning to the present, Rufus leaves the two with the phone booth, stating that Bill and Ted will be able to travel anyplace in time, but only "as long as you remember this: no matter what happens, you must get to that report." Seconds later, they discover that they had somehow dragged Napoleon back with them into the present. An idea soon forms: to pass their history exam, Bill and Ted will go back in time and kidnap other historical figures and have them explain what they think of the San Dimas of the present. The Stallyns then leave Napoleon with Ted's younger brother, Deacon, while they travel back to the past.

Bill and Ted first collect Billy the Kid in 1879 New Mexico, and Socrates (whom they refer to as "So-Crates" (soʊkreɪts) in 410 bc Athens Greece, both of whom are confused but eager to help the pair. When they travel to 15th century England, they become smitten with Princess Elizabeth and Princess Joanna, but fall into trouble with their father, the King; they manage to escape with the help of Billy and Socrates and continue traveling through time. Soon, they have collected Sigmund Freud, Ludwig van Beethoven, Genghis Khan, Joan of Arc and Abraham Lincoln. The passengers encounter brief technical difficulties, and when attempting to return to the present, end up returning on the previous day outside the Circle K with Rufus introducing himself to their past selves. Bill and Ted recount their experience to their past selves, and learn how to properly return to the present from Rufus in order to give their history report on time.

While trying to get the other historical figures accustomed to life in San Dimas by dropping them off at the local shopping mall, Ted learns that Deacon abandoned Napoleon at a bowling alley the night before. Bill and Ted go off to search for him, finding him enjoying himself at a local water park, "Waterloo". When they return to the mall, they find the other historical figures have been arrested by Ted's father due to the chaos they caused. The two try to figure out how to rescue them when they realize they can use the time machine to go back in time and plant elements, such as the cell keys, at the police station for their escape plan. They successfully free the historical figures and make it to the school on time for their report. The report, presented in the style of an actual rock concert, is an outstanding success, and the two pass their course.

Rufus later joined Bill and Ted as they practice and congratulates them on their report. Rufus brings in Princesses Elizabeth and Joanna, whom he rescued from their father (and from getting married "to those royal ugly dudes"), and explains that he's introduced them to the modern century, and that they too are destined to be part of Wyld Stallyns. As the four begin to play an amateurish cacophony of music, Rufus breaks the fourth wall and assures us, "They do get better."
