I read a woman from Australia this week who asked about Zed?
"Zed who?" I asked, then suddenly realized she was referring to Z(oroaster) my counterpart.
Zed also means zero in some countries, which takes us to the end Zero Point Merge.
Zedd is a main character in the fictional Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind.
He is the grandfather of Richard Rahl and a wizard of the First Order.
