Likely Department: Security or Scientist (Field-Research/Locked)
Zaaed is a soldier through and through. It would be hard to see him in any role outside of security, or as a Field Researcher taking point in hostile conditions to get advanced readings on the habitability of new territories. I'm currently thinking Security is the better choice, though he would be one who would eagerly work alongside field research teams to set up forward bases as needed.
Zaeed, as I conceive of him in his AU state, is a grizzled veteran of sorts. In a mostly utopian world, armed conflict is certainly not something that's completely unheard of (given that they have highly trained security forces), but I imagine it's a rarity. Before entering into Academy training, I envision him as someone who has served at the fringes of UA space on Tellus, working in containing a few conflicts and brush fires with rare malcontents who were not on board with UA policies and practices. The work was rare and lacked excitement, though he earned a few scars in his younger years because he was not able to get proper medical treatment before they set in.
After leaving UA service, he spent his 30s working as security for outfits doing environmental research and cleanup on the very fringes of inhabitable land. His skin shows the signs of someone accustomed to harsh environments and harsher life. He is as close to a mercenary veteran as one comes in a largely stable society. His body is the product of genetic breeding programs to ensure peak strength and agility, cybernetic enhancement to improve reflexes and optic implants to improve targeting (which ironically makes him physically identical to his counterpart in mass effect, as that's basically what the "Soldier" class is: An engineered, cybernetically enhanced human.). His entry into the program came with the hopes of "getting off of this forsaken rock," though this may have been more because of a sense of wanderlust and a desire for adventure, rather than distaste for current conditions in Tellus. Exploring the fringes of another galaxy certainly will give him something new to experience.
