Zed is a master of the 'tricks of the trade' - the cheating and stealing trade, that is. With a certain propensity and natural talent for stealth and thievery, Zed is a professional when it comes to crimes, from minor to major. Sometimes it is as simple as a few more favorable cards in a hand to a set of sticky fingers to something as big as a heist. Either way, Zed knows his way around a job. However, everyone is bound to get caught eventually, and reputations have a way of finding a way to bite you in the rear. . . not to mention those looking to extract a little vengeance.

Having been born inside a star-ship as opposed to planet-side, Zed has never had a particular world to call his home. He grew up in an environment that requires being of use in order to survive, and without the borders that breed patriotism. The allegiances of the galaxy mean little to him, only the strength of individual merit. He is most at peace when in space, and will take on any contract or mission that enables him to remain firmly seated in a cockpit.

This utter lack of affiliation often results in what can be construed as insubordination and disloyalty, putting him at odds with those that value such things.

While generally laid back and more than happy to offer a quip of sarcasm, Zed's entire demeanor changes once combat begins. He becomes focused and quiet, with his smile replaced with a look of grim determination.

Zed doesn't do anything without first having a plan, and is constantly overheard advising others to always “think through their exits”. Every movement he makes—be it combative, manipulative or otherwise—is premeditated and thought out ahead of time. This foresight often places Zed two steps ahead of his peers. However, when plans go awry, Zed often has to first backtrack those same two steps to address the present, and that hesitation can often be the line between success and failure in the heat of a situation.

If Zed had been in Greedo’s shoes, Han Solo would be pushing up daisies. He almost always acts on instinct, which typically means he can be seen as impulsive and may not think his actions through, especially in situations during or leading up to combat.

When it comes to a fight, some like to posture, some like to act tough, some like to dance around and go through all sorts of fancy footwork. Zed? Zed doesn't bother with exotic battle stances, intricate maneuvers, or super-secret tactics. Zed, when cornered into a fight, prefers the ancient technique of a good kick to the nuts. And if that won't work, either because the enemy is a woman or has balls of steel, Zed isn't beyond pulling a few more cheap tricks out of the bag. Granted, Zed won't be winning any medals for nobility or any prestige for a unique fighting style or a superb maneuver, but Zed will still be winning, the best and most dirty way he knows how.
