I think after Dr. Julien died, Zane was roaming the birchwood forest and the master of ice came upon him. Due to his old age (we can tell he's old from HoT) and him knowing his days were coming to and end, the master of ice gave Zane his elemental powers. It is not confirmed by Tommy A. if an EM can give their elemental powers to someone but it makes sense especially since he obviously didnt have any kids since they would have the power of ice instead of Zane.
