I have to say, I find this one a little hard to believe. After all, One of the major points of Lara's falling out with her father was a lack of common points of reference after her near-death experience. Given MIB's various activities, I think Zed would be at least familiar with that sort of thing happening to the people who reported to him, if not actually having experienced it himself. Unless I'm missing something else, it seems to me that unless he's compartmentalized himself to the point of having multiple personalities, I don't understand how that could have been quite the barrier to their relationship that it was.

Plus, I would have thought that he would have had a much better understanding of DJ and his activities with NERV back in Exodus 1 when he tried to take control of his life yet again...

I have no issues with his presence on the XCOM Council, but having him as Zed just doesn't ring true for me. Just my $0.02.
