They later captured him the second time in Zaun. In spite of their animosity, Zed sought out Shen and to inform him about Jhin's release, in order to stop him together.Zed leaving the Kinkou and 'murdering' Kusho led to Shen being forced to take up the title The Eye of Twilight which he never wanted.He tried to minimize casualties when killing Kinkou members (though he needed enough people dead so the Kinkou would hate him and his new order.) Unfortunately, violence quickly got out of hand into an ugly and brutal feud.While he believes in the necessity of the Kinkou Order and their rule of scales, he seeks to abolish the old ways of balance while spreading his 'no restraint' philosophy. However, he later convinced Kusho to defend Ionia from Noxus and helped the later fake his death. Zed's resentment towards Kusho led him to delve into the shadow arts, founding the Order of Shadow.Zed couldn't believe such a monster was offered mercy, finding himself questioning his master's teachings to the point of heavily resenting him. All three of them were severely traumatized during the investigation and, when they finally caught the 'Golden Demon', Kusho spared his life. Zed, Shen, and Kusho worked to discover and capture Khada Jhin for his brutal murders.After Zed obeyed Kusho to betray the order, his relationship with Shen soured and became ambivalent. Master Kusho raised Zed as his own son and chose him to be the successor of his title, while Zed also looked up to him and his son as his own family. Shen was even a bit jealous of him (Kusho was less strict towards Zed as he saw Zed having far better potentials than his son).

Both students saw each other as rivals, but also respected the other, seeing him as a brother and best friend. Zed and Shen trained together in the Kinkou Order, led by the latter's father Kusho.Zed's Japanese voice actor is Kenjiro Tsuda.Zed is voiced by Donny Lucas, who also voices Galaxy Slayer Zed, Debonair Zed, Supreme Cells Zed, and 3 Zed in Legends of Runeterra.Development Main article: Zed (Development)
