Zaeed Massani

Zaeed Massani, also known as Mercenary Veteran, is a character from the Mass Effect series.
== Charactah Account ==
Zaeed is the best bounty hunter in the galaxy and has been hired to help Shepard.
In casual conversation, Zaeed will tell stories about his previous adventures. If he's still alive by the Citadel DLC, he's mellowed out considerably and spends most of the party snarking with the other hardasses.
Zaeed is hardly a pleasant man, but what ethics he has are largely responsible for his "leaving" the Blue Suns (he disapproved of their hiring of batarians, whom he saw as terrorists), and he expresses disgust at Cerberus' imprisonment of biotic children if taken along on Jack's loyalty mission. He also dislikes corporate security, preferring to work for his contracts and care who he's killing, and doesn't find torture worth it. Also, take him with you whenever the Collectors are involved and he is clearly disgusted and horrified by what he sees.

== Trivia ==
* Zaeed is only available through the Zaeed - The Price of Revenge DLC pack.
* According to his character page on BioWare's defunct Mass Effect 2 site, Zaeed served in the Alliance before turning mercenary. 40 years old by 2185, he was bounty hunting for 20 years. However, this would mean he founded the Blue Suns with Vido at only 15 years old in 2160.
* The name "Zaeed" is an Anglicization of an Arabic name and means "one who progresses and makes other people progress".
* Due to a possible writing error, during Archangel's recruitment mission, Zaeed will advise Shepard to get the shutters open, rather than closed.
* Robin Sachs, who voices Zaeed, was a BioWare regular, voicing Saul Karath in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Lord Pyral Harrowmont and Murdock in Dragon Age: Origins, and Seneschal Varel in Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening. One of his final works was voicing Zaeed for the Mass Effect 3 Citadel DLC.
** Operation TRIBUTE, one of the Weekend Challenges in Mass Effect 3's multiplayer, is a tribute to Robin Sachs, who passed away on February 1st, 2013. The operation goals are earning points with the M-8 Avenger and Inferno Grenades, referencing Zaeed's old Avenger rifle and his loyalty power in Mass Effect 2.
* Zaeed is one of only two squad mates (the other being Kasumi Goto) whose loyalty mission is available straight away after recruiting them. He is also one of four squad mates without a mission tied to his recruitment (the other three being Jacob, Miranda, and Kasumi). He is also one of only two squad mates who can die on their loyalty mission (the other being Samara).
** Like Kasumi, Zaeed also does not have any dialogue options when the player talks to him. Instead, he, as well as some items in his proximity, can be interacted with, prompting him to reminisce or comment on the team or his earlier missions. Zaeed will be as talkative and mission-specific opinionated as any other party member during missions, however.
