Bio
The original description given by Gearbox Software for the expansion is as follows:


 * "Tasked with keeping the workers of Jakobs Cove alive, Dr. Ned (who is not related to Dr. Zed from Fyrestone) does his job a little too well, creating zombies and other abominations that now run rampant in this region."

The quote states that they are not related, part of a running joke that Dr. Ned is Dr. Zed, but is using obvious tricks to try and hide his identity. Even then, Ned is not exactly that good at hiding it. Whenever he speaks of his "brother" he will almost always say something in addition such as "who is totally not made up in any way".

Trivia

 * Despite being a doctor, Dr. Ned doesn't seem to enjoy helping people. This can be implied from the medical vending machines scattered all over Jakob's Cove, where he tells the player to buy some first aid so that he doesn't have to fix you up later.
 * Although all of the Medical Vending Machines scattered throughout Jakob's Cove have Dr. Ned's label on it, there's one machine in Dead Haven that has Dr. Zed's label on it. As to why Dr. Ned never touched that machine is unknown.
 * Dr. Ned has the same blood stains on his apron as Dr. Zed and the "N" on Dr. Ned's name tag is clearly the "Z" on Zed's name tag turned sideways (one "leg of the "N" is shorter like how the bottom line of the "Z" is shorter)
 * After you kill him, his name tag will say "Zed" not "Ned".
 * After you finish the DLC, Marcus will just point out that Ned is Zed, afterwards the child corrects him.
