It's been stated that he and Zoss are major male characters but I seem to recall that the particular connection between them is just speculation by readers? Often involving time travel.

Both are male, have seen Allison naked, and have a four-letter name that starts with 'Z'. Basically the same character.

"Go on until you're stopped."
I presume Zaid is going to live, if only because it would be kind of lame for Alison to go on this incredible journey out of the obligation to rescue him, only to not do that, and then go on to finish her journey of self-discovery over his corpse.

I doubt he'll be important, though.

He will live on in the comic after the rescue as a minor character living on the airship just like any good RPG. By the time we are at the 95% completion mark and are sure all side quests are done, we will have done forgot why this random dude is just hanging around the engine room with only one line of dialogue.

I hope that Zaid lives by virtue of not being important enough to bother killing. The last arc of the series is him having to walk home by himself because literally every other character has forgotten about him.

On the contrary, next panel she starts bawling her eyes out at the scene and starts worshipping Cio and Alison as gods 2 and 3. Mammon applauds.

Then they have ice cream.

I was thinking earlier that if 000001 turns up with a scythe, things might stray over the line from giving a nod to Dark Souls to straight up ripping it off. Not sure a halberd changes that equation much. We'll just have to wait and see if 000001 dies and Mammon completely flips his poo poo.
