I love Kasumi and would be more than happy to see her join us on the Normandy. But your intro to Zaeed is him pistol-whipping an unarmed man in the hallway
who probably had it coming
and all of his stories seem to end "and I was the only one that survived".
so he exaggerates a little, who doesn't?
Then there's that factory full of civilians he sets on fire.
Okay, I agree. That looks pretty bad. But how cool was the explosion he set off?
He redeemed himself a lot in his brief ME3 appearance but I still don't trust him.
Well Zevran tried to kill my warden, but that turned out alright. Zaeed was totally badass. I love it when Joker says "he's like you but he takes checks." Not because my Shepard would set a factory with workers inside on fire (well, one of them would), but because he is one of the only characters who rivals Shepard in crazy. He goes up against ridiculous odds and somehow manages to survive. He got shot in the face and lived to tell about it. He has a funny accent! Seriously, though, it seems like most of the ME characters are on the paragon track. Garrus has a wild streak, but he's a good guy. Wrex will challenge you, but for what he thinks are the right reasons. ME2 Jack was one of my favorites because she was crazy and just didn't give a **** (and that totally changed in ME3). Zaeed has turned that formula into a viable means of living. He'll get his hands dirty for a price, not because he's evil, but because it's good business.
I also headcannon that Kaidan would be best friends with him (even though Zaeed was pretty pissed that my Shepard was upset after Horizon). I can totally put Zaeed in the middle of the poker game with Kaidan and Vega. C'mon, how cool would that be?
Okay, I'll stop talking about Zaeed now.
