Jack & Zaeed Massani had reached human Reaper & fused as Shepard imprints. Both strike fear on krogan warlord.

"They found me. The killers came in the night. They tortured me. I would not say where the gold was. They tortured 
me all through the night. Then, when they could not break me, they cut off my hands to show that the corpse was that 
of a thief, and they shot me through the heart and went away. But they did not know something about me. I am the one 
man in a million who has his heart on the right side of his body. Those are the odds against it, one in a million. I lived. 
By sheer willpower I survived the operation and the months in hospital. And all the time I planned and planned how 
to get away with the money—how to keep it, what to do with it."
Ian Fleming, Dr. No (Bond #6), Chapter 15 Pandora's Box, 1958 [Dr. No].

"In these he put two weights The sequel each of parting and of fight; The latter quick up flew, and kicked the beam;
Which Gabriel spying, thus bespake the fiend. Satan, I know thy strength, and thou know'st mine ... for proof look up, 
And read thy lot in yon celestial sign Where thou art weighed, and shown how light, how weak, If thou resist. The fiend
looked up and knew His mounted scale aloft: nor more; but fled Murmuring, and with him fled the shades of night."
John Milton, Paradise Lost, Book IV, lines 1002-1015, 1667 [doubled now To trample thee as mire].
