Zaid Massani - a character from Mass Effect

Zaid Massani is one of the most interesting characters in the universe of Mass Effect. The former mercenary has come a long way from the founding of a powerful organization of mercenaries to treachery and attempted murder. At the peak of the road to revenge, he meets with the protagonist Captain Shepard, who should help him in his mission, so that he joined the squad of the player.

Appearance

A first look at this character can cause mixed feelings, because his face is disfigured and looks old. The reason for this is a shot in the head, and as a result, the replacement of many organs with implants. Zaid Masani has a menacing look because of his synthetic eye and gray hair.

On the body, he wears tattoos in the form of symbols of the "Blue Lights" - the organization of mercenaries, which he once headed. Despite such a state of the body, the warrior has a superhuman strength. He easily copes with heavy armor and weapons, often in the gym, where he trains hard for future battles.

Character

It is difficult to find a more straightforward person in the whole Mass Effect universe than Zayed Massani. The former mercenary in most cases likes to remain silent and listen if it comes to the matter. In empty conversations, he does not take part, and fans of joking or telling clever things, he easily puts into place a pair of strong words. Such persons arouse in him dislike and anger. In most cases, he simply ignores them, until they touch him.

The man himself is an experienced and experienced fighter who can teach a lot, but you need to earn his trust. In his forty years he actively promotes a healthy lifestyle. Always criticizes smokers, because he never tried cigarettes in his entire life. For a long time he lived with only one sense of revenge, which made him even tougher. He understood that such a train of thought was destroying him, but he continued to live only for the sake of killing his companions who betrayed him.

The beginning of the character's way

The game Mass Effect 2 tells the story of how Massani and Vido Santiago founded an organization of mercenaries called "Blue Lights." At the time of Captain Shepard's adventures, this company is one of the largest in the sphere of illegal business and has a wide network of agents throughout the galaxy.

In those days, it was just beginning its journey thanks to the former Vedo commandos and Zayed's capital. They began their activities with prohibited trades in the Sciclian limit. Thanks to this, things quickly went up and gained momentum. Money and paper work dealt with Santiago, and Massani in Mass Effect 2 played the role of the main recruitment.

His duties included the training of all the members of the Blue Lights. An experienced warrior gave them knowledge about the attack and defense during the battle, taught to deal with different types of weapons. In this role, the character quickly became accustomed, and so it was for several years, until the affairs in the organization had changed.

Betrayal

In Mass Effect Zaid Masani acts as a rough mercenary, but he is not without some principles. During the reign of the "Blue Lights" he refused to work with slavers to kidnap and sell people, and to recruit strong Batarians. They could pay the standard rate, and they worked for three people, thanks to the inherent strength of Vido Santiago tried to convince him, because their company was threatened with close bankruptcy because of the cost of money for maintaining the army. As if the partner did not convince the hero, he did not want to hear about such cooperation.

Then Vido decided to remove the principal partner. During the landing after the mission, he shot Zaida in the face from the shotgun. The bullet did not hit the brain, but it seriously injured the right side of the face. Saved the character loyal mercenaries who opposed the policy of Santiago. Massani survived and vowed to take revenge on the traitor.

The second part of the game

For the first time the player meets in Mass Effect 2 Zaid Massani. Where to find this character, the question does not arise, because sooner or later each user will look at the Omega station. There you can watch the scene as a former mercenary beats up a huge batarians, who had been his goal for a long time. Then he asks Captain Shepard to help carry out the mission of loyalty to revenge on former comrades-in-arms. This task must be completed, so that the hero joined the team.

There are two options for fulfilling the task: to leave the plant's employees to die in a fire and kill Vido or save people, and to let the head of the "Blue Lights" escape. The first option immediately completes the mission, and in the second case, to join Zaida Massani, you need to have enough of the hero's eyes. Then you will be able to convince the former mercenary to end the path of revenge and join the team of Captain Shepard.

The third part of the game

Zaid Massani in Mass Effect 3 is no longer a member of Captain Shepard's team, but recognizes him as a former associate (assuming loyalty in the previous part of the game). It is he who helps to accomplish the mission of saving the ambassador of the volos of Dean Korlak. The main character learns that Zayed is connected with mercenaries who kidnapped the diplomat. Shepard whispers to the ambassador that he mention his name in conversation with Massani.

The next time you enter the room with the ambassador, you can find that he figured out all the mercenaries. He in his corporate style can "ask" the ambassador to provide all the information that interests the captain. This is most simply the passage of this task. The next meeting with the old companion will take place in the warehouse, he will, according to old connections, provide Shepard's team with a cover in the form of mercenaries.

If Zaid was not loyal in the second part, then in the warehouse he would be seriously wounded and die in front of the main character.

The party in the supplement "Citadel"

In DLC under the name "Citadel" to the third part of the game Zaid Massani can participate in a party organized on the ship, if the captain invites him. He, along with all members, will actively participate in the fun, make noise and enjoy the celebration.

At the first stage, he will get involved in a dispute over the victory of Rex and Grunt in a single combat. When everyone drank heavily, the man tries to attract the attention of Samara and shows interest in art. His attempts failed completely, although he tried to behave with restraint and talk with proper decency. When everyone started to dance, Massani, along with other inveterate arrows, arranges a shooting range of beer bottles.

In the morning he can be found on the couch, where he and Cortez are trying to move away from yesterday's state. When he meets Shepard, he will ask if he did not wake up anyone, because he snored much at night because of a nose that was broken in his youth.

Combat skills

In "Mass Effect 2" Zaid Massani was a former member of the elite landing force of the Alliance forces. He actively developed his skills at the time of the founding of the "Blue Lights", and therefore in the team of Shepard proved to be an excellent fighter. With its heavy weapons, it is great for battles in open or closed terrain.

His ammunition can be further enhanced by the shock effect, and the grenade Inferno works well against heavily equipped fighters. Ability "Slaughterhouse" shows itself well in skirmishes with superior forces of enemies. A pair of such explosive shots destroy a group of opponents at once. The last skill of Massani is a deafening shot that not only inflicts damage, but also disables a dangerous enemy for a while.

The fighter is indispensable in missions where you will have to fight a lot and take part in skirmishes. Therefore, it is desirable that he still joined your team.
