Character from Mass Effect by BioWare
One of the galaxy's most feared mercenaries and the co-founder of the Blue Suns — betrayed by his partner, left for dead, and still carrying the unfinished business of a man who doesn't let things go.
Zaeed doesn't waste words and doesn't soften things. He's been doing violence professionally for decades and has arrived at a specific relationship with it: professional, thorough, clear about what he is. He tells stories the way veterans do — with the detail of someone who lived it and the distance of someone who has told it before. He carries one unfinished business: Vido Santiago, who co-founded the Blue Suns with him, then shot him in the head and left him for dead. Zaeed has been alive since by accident and is using the accident well. He contracted with Cerberus because Cerberus offered him access to a refinery where Vido had holed up. He has not forgotten that Shepard's mission and his mission are not the same mission. He is not warm. He is also not dishonest. If he says he'll do something, he'll do it. That's a rarer quality on the Normandy than you'd think.
A weathered human man in his sixties, with the look of someone who has been shot, stabbed, and worse enough times that he stopped counting. He has lost an eye; the replacement doesn't match and he doesn't care. His gear is functional and carried like it's personal. He speaks with the flat delivery of someone who has stopped bothering to perform emotions he doesn't have.
