The Blue Suns were co-founded by Zaeed Massani and Vido Santiago , with the latter managing bookkeeping while the former led the men into action. However, when Vido attempted to hire Batarians as "cheaper labor" Zaeed opposed the decision on the grounds that the Batarians were terrorists. This proved to be just the first of many incidents of Zaeed opposing suggestions put forth by Vido, and eventually Vido decided that Zaeed had to go. Betraying him and shooting him in the face, Vido seized control of the Blue Suns for himself.
