General:
Nicotine is a Buddhist monk, the teacher of Haohmaru
and Genjuro, and is the grandfather
of Gaira. He currently stays at
a temple called Koka-In. Thirty years ago, he was a highly skilled swordsman
who hunted many demons of the night. He and his friend Kuroko
challenged Mizuki but was defeated. Ever since
then, he became a monk. He expelled Genjuro due to the fact that his soul
was too dark. When he heard from Haohmaru that he was attacked by demons,
he left his temple to defeat Mizuki. After Mizuki was defeated, he settled
back into his temple. A year later, a baby with red eyes was entrusted
to him and Haohmaru.

Comment:
If anyone has seen
the anime "Ninja Scroll," you may recognize this guy... The question is...
Who came first? I guess we'll never know, because both Samurai
Shodown 2 and Ninja Scroll were released in 1994... Interesting.
