I did not make Zaeed loyal in ME2. I played through the Volus Ambassador mission, but have no idea what happened. One minute I am talking to the Volus ambassador on some kind of Plantronics earpiece, then I hear weird shooting noises, then you walk in and Zaeed is bleeding all over the place.
What happened? Did the Volus shoot him? How? Why? What?

Shepard's presence on the Volus ambassador's commline convinced Zaeed that it was better to protect him - at least until Shepard can get a chance to speak with the Volus.
Unfortunately, Zaeed's partners want to stick to their original plan of killing the ambassador. Zaeed refuses to let them kill the ambassador, and they wind up getting in a gunfight over the volus, and ultimately wind up killing each other. If your Zaeed is loyal, he'll survive this extrication (as always), otherwise, he gives his life saving the ambassador.
