Edmund doesn't almost succeed in supplanting his brother; he does succeed in supplanting both father and brother, and becomes Duke of Gloucester. Your phrase "the passage from the exposition" is vague. Are you talking about the conversation between Gloucester and Kent in Act 1 Scene 1 when Edmund is introduced? This conversation does tell us something about Edmund: that he is a bastard and has an older brother. Gloucester's lines "I have so often blushed to acknowledge him, that now I am brazed to it" and "the whoreson must be acknowledged" suggest that Gloucester is reluctant to admit Edmund as his son, which gives a background for Edmund's lack of affection for his father, and his defence of bastards.
