Zaeed Massani was one of the most feared mercenaries in the Galaxy, co-founder of the Blue Suns, and one of the allies of Commander Shepard.
Zaeed founded the Blue Suns mercenary group with along with his partner Vido Santiago in 2160 CE. As the organization grew Vido suggested that they should hire batarians for cheap labor, a policy Zaeed disagreed with. An argument broke out between the two, culminating in Vito shooting Zaeed in the head the usurping his control of the Blue Suns. Despite his injuries, Zaeed survived and sought revenge against Vito. At some point Zaeed fathered a son called Bain, who would later join the Adorama Initiative. He also embarked on a long and colorful career as an independent mercenary, earning him the attention of Cerberus who were looking for elite soldiers to aid Commander Shepard to aid them against the Collectors.
Zaeed agreed and joined Shepard's crew on the condition that they would help him track down and kill Vito. Should Shepard honor this deal, Zaeed would either succeed in his goal or realize he allowed revenge to consume him and allow Vito to escape. No matter the outcome, Zaeed's loyalty would be secured.
If Zaeed survives the suicide mission on the Collector Base, he continues to fight the Reapers. After the failed Cerberus coup on the Citadel, Zaeed was hired to kill volus ambassador Din Korlack, who was feeding information to Cerberus but had a change of heart and cut ties with them. Zaeed was convinced by Shepard to let Korlack go, however, bringing him into conflict with the other bounty hunters. If Zaeed's loyalty wasn't secured he is killed in the ensuing fight, but otherwise survives. Should Shepard active the Crucible, Zaeed retires and lives his life out in the lap of luxury, if not he presumably perished with the rest of the galaxy.

Battle vs. Canderous Ordo (by So-Pro Warrior)[]
Canderous along with his 4 Mandalorians dock at Omega and proceed to the Kenzo District. Zaeed along with 4 of his loyal Blue Sun mercenaries he hired for backup in case wait in hiding for Canderous Ordo to show up so they can kill them. Canderous however knows that he and his men will be walking into a trap and get their weapons and armor ready and then pick out their spots they are going to head to cover for. Zaeed and the 4 Blue Sun Mercs wait for Canderous and his men to show themselves and Canderous and his men soon charge in and Zaeed and his men open fire with their M-8 Avengers but Canderous and their men are able to make it to their cover spots and return fire with their Blaster Rifles.
"Tell me where my friend is and I'll let you live!" Canderous yells out
"Like Hell your worth three whole bags of credits my friend I'm not going to let you live to see another day." Zaeed yells back Canderous scans the battlefield and notices a flaw of their defense on their right flank and sends the two Mandalorian nearest to it and they sneek up to the position. The two Mandalorians peek over and see two of the Blue Suns mercs and both nod and stand up with their Blaster Rifles and open fire on the Blue Suns mercs. Unfortunetly for the mercs while their Kinetic Barriers protect them from the first five shots the rest of the shots destroy the Kinetic Barrier and the two mercs are killed (Zaeed-3) Zaeed sees this and tosses his M-8 Avenger for the M-76 Revanent and opens fire at the two Mandalorians and one of them is hit in the head (Canderous-4) while the other one ducks back into cover with Zaeed continuely firing at the location until a receives a shot to the shoulder even though the Kinetic Barrier protected him and sees Canderous with his Blaster Rifle and Zaeed orders his men to retreat deeper into the district. Canderous and his men head after him into the district. After heading into the abandoned housing district the Mandalorians carefully check each door they see however after going down a flight of stairs to a door to the next hallway Canderous halts his men in their tracks, stands in front of the doors and fires whats left of his Blaster Rifle into the door and then tosses his gun aside and takes out his Repeating Blaster and walks up to the door to reveal a Blue Sun merc behind the door who's body slides down off the wall (Zaeed-2) Ordo and his men proceed through the door and enter what looks like the Ventalation Room and just then Zaeed and his other merc pop out from behind a wall and fire at Ordo and his men who quickly run and gun to cover with the Blue Sun merc hitting one of the Mandalorians a couple of times in the chest with his M-8 Avenger (Canderous-3) Canderous order's his men to pop out at the same time to try and take down Zaeed and the other merc and they start the countdown
"3.....2.....1 Now!" Canderous yells and Canderous and the Mandalorians pop out and fire their guns managing to rip apart the Blue Sun merc while Zaeed is also hit and then after his Kinetic Barriers falling receives a shot to his stomach but quickly ducks back down (Zaeed-1)
"$hi*" Zaeed says
Canderous and his men walk over to see if Zaeed is dead and one of the Mandalorians peeks over and sees Zaeeds body and thinks he is dead.
"All clear sir." the Mandalorian says
Just then Zaeed opens his eyes and grabs his M-3 Predator and fires a shot into the Mandalorian's skull (Canderous-3) before Canderous can react who kicks Zaeed in the face making him fall down. Zaeed tries to grab the M-3 Predator but one of the Mandalorians kicka the gun away. Canderous picks up Zaeed and sends the other Mandalorians to check the area for Revan.
"Where's Revan!" Canderous yells
"I ain't going to talk." Zaeed says
Canderous throws Zaeed against the wall and knees him in the stomach and then pulls out a Mandalorian Blaster.
"I'll ask again where is HE!!" Canderous yells at the top of his lungs
"Sir we found him!" One of the Mandalorians yells
Canderous drops him and proceeds to where Revan is but when Zaeed begins to crawl away Canderous turns around and shoots Zaeed in the head (Zaeed-0)
"This'll teach you to never mess with my friends." Canderous says
Expert's Opinion[]
Canderous Ordo won this Battle due to the fact that he had technically more years of Combat Experience as he HAD fought in wars fighting against fellow Mandalores, fighting the Republic and Jedi and then the Sith and even Dark Jedi. Also he had the better leadership and more loyal soldiers then Zaeed which is why he won this Battle.

Battle vs. Jango Fett (Legends) (by Niv-Mizzet)[]
Zaeed and Jango were both hired by the Illusive Man without each other's knowledge so that the he will know who is better and who to send with Commander Shepard on his suicide mission. They have tracked each other to the space station Omega, where Jango has already found Zaeed. He sneaks up behind him and fires his Kamino saberdart, which bounces harmlessly off of Zaeed's kinetic shielding. Zaeed wheels around, pulls out his M-5 Phalanx heavy pistol, and takes three shots at Jango, who takes one in the chest and one in the ankle before taking off with his jetpack and drawing his twin pistols. People are running around in a panic, making it hard for Zaeed to aim while Jango lands two hits on him, weakening his kinetic shielding. Zaeed rolls behind cover, swapping out his heavy pistol for his M-96 Mattock assault rifle. He activates his disruptor ammo and fires once at Jango, punching a hole in his armor and shorting out his jetpack. Jango lands right next to Zaeed, who moves in for the killing blow. Just then, Jango activates his flamethrower, which eats away at Zaeed's kinetic shielding and finally breaks it. Zaeed leaps back and takes two more shots with his rifle, both of them missing as Jango rolls out of the way and gets to his feet. Zaeed throws an inferno grenade as Jango launches one of his wrist rockets. They both miss, Jango's rocket going clear over the ducking Zaeed's head and Zaeed's grenade creating a wall of fire between the two combatants. His jetpack finally coming back online, Jango takes off, going high into the air. Zaeed draws his M-92 Mantis sniper rifle, hoping to get a clear shot at Jango. He shoots him in the leg as Jango fires another wrist rocket, this one hitting the ground right next to Zaeed and knocking him to the ground, dazed. Jango lands gently next to Zaeed, pointing one of his pistols in his face. "I'd heard you were good, Massani, but I never thought you'd be this good," Jango says.
"Likewise, Fett," Zaeed replies, "but that doesn't mean I'm not pissed off that I lost to you. So what, are you supposed to bring me in alive?"
"No, I was paid to kill you. Hey, our accents sound similar."
"Huh, you're right. And I'm not afraid of you. I've survived worse."
"Whatever you say, old man," Jango says, pulling the trigger of his pistol and punching a hole through Zaeed's fake eye. Zaeed collapses to the floor.
Once Jango is done, he calls the man who hired him, the Illusive Man, with the communicator in his helmet. "It's done," he says. "When do I get paid?"
"I'll transfer the credits to your account, as we agreed," the Illusive Man responds. "Say," he continues, "how would you like a job that's a little more...long-term? I'll pay you triple your retainer fee."
"You're talking my language," Jango says, his mind reeling at the amount his contractor was talking. "What do I have to do?"
"I won't lie, Fett. It's a suicide mission."
"If I'm getting paid THAT kind of money, I really don't care," Jango replies, walking to his ship and taking off.
After making sure Jango is gone, Zaeed slowly gets to his feet. "Who the hell would have thought I could survive two shots to the head?" he thinks as he stumbles to the nearest med clinic, making a mental note that he has two people to take his revenge on now.
WINNER: JANGO FETT
Expert's Opinion[]
While I thought Zaeed would have won for sure due to his stronger weaponry and kinetic shielding, Jango's ability to fly (as well as the popular vote) won him the day.
