Biography

Now, he's part of the Rainbow group, going up against various terrorists and missions, while enjoying the thrill of war, and downing people with his noxious mines.

THE LEGACY OF SMOKE
 * Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege

Opening
Smoke is seen kicking a door, busting it and found some terrorists. Smoke then dispatches all of them with his shotgun. A terrorist attempted to ambush Smoke, but got killed by his mine. After that, Smoke was then approached by Mute, who has just cleared out the other terrorists in the area. Mute immediately said to Smoke that Six got a job for him, and it's very special. Smoke replied bluntly by asking him why won't she just select the other operators. Mute told him that Six thought that Smoke's poisonous mines are more effective for the job than the other operators' gadgets. Curious, Smoke asked what kind of task it is. Mute said that it's classified, and a Humvee is waiting for him outside the building to transport him. Smoke, feeling confused, then went down to the Humvee, and goes on the "mission", without knowing what's actually gonna be there.

Rival
Name: Hyde

Reason: Smoke was walking, panting around in the rival arena, saying that Mute should've told him more about the mission, as he doesn't expect to fight many "freaks". As Smoke is going to reload his shotgun, suddenly, Hyde shouted to Smoke, angrily, asking him "who's he calling a freak". Smoke's surprised, and turns back, looking at Hyde's intimidating posture. Smoke tried to reason with Hyde, but Hyde kept getting angry. Hyde then gets enough of Smoke, and points his flamethrower to Smoke's face, threatening him to shove the weapon down his "gregory" (neck). Smoke, hearing Hyde's Cockney Rhyming, becomes disgusted of how such person can exist, sarcastically saying. Smoke calmly puts away the flamethrower, and pulls out his Z8 "Poison Gas Grenade", and tells him what can it do if he's threatening him again. In response, Hyde pulls out his Toxic Grenade, and tells him what can it do if Smoke's threatening him. Smoke responds again by cocking his shotgun and aims it to Hyde's face, saying that his threats are not good enough to scare him. Hyde then equips his minigun, saying that he's gonna be nothing but mincemeat once he gets hold of him, starting the battle.

Connection: Both Hyde and Smoke are British. Hyde is identified of a British descent through his accent and way of speaking, plus his Cockney Rhyming. Smoke on the other hand, is already said to be British from the game itself. Smoke's and Hyde's "classes" are different, and opposing. While in Rainbow Six Siege, Smoke is a defender/defensive operator, Hyde in Evolve, is an aggressive Hunter, being an Assault, with the job of dealing big damage to the Monster. Both of them are also oriented in short-range combat. Most of Smoke's weapons are short-medium range, while Hyde's primary weapon, the flamethrower, is a short range weapon. His minigun is a long range weapon, however. The most similar thing about Hyde and Smoke is that they both got poison bomb-esque weapons, with Hyde being his Toxic Grenades while Smoke being his Compound Z8 Grenade "Poison Gas Grenade". Although identified as a grenade, it actually works as a mine. On the other hand, in Evolve, there's also an Assault Hunter who uses mines, which is Markov.

Transcript:
 * Smoke: "(Panting) Damn, Mute should've told me more about this sh*t. Thought it's gonna be an extraction or something. Thought I'm not gonna fight freaks like... those... things (reloads his shotgun)."
 * Hyde: "(Loudly) 'Ey you! Who are ya callin' a freak?!"
 * Smoke: "Wha? Wow, you're a big fella. And I ain't callin' ya a freak. The thing is that I fought so many weird... creatures in my way here. You've fought those kind of 'creatures' too, right?"
 * Hyde: "The thing is, 'normal' people consider me a freak. You're pretty normal, so, I am a freak for you?"
 * Smoke: "Look, mate, it ain't what you're thinking. You refer yourself as a freak, even! I don't even who are you, or maybe, what are you."
 * Hyde: "(Aims his flamethrower to Smoke's face) Blimey, you say that one more time, again, and I'll shove this thing down your gregory and flush down the flame on yer body!"
 * Smoke: "Meh. How could you exist, anyway (sarcasm)? (Puts away Hyde's flamethrower, and pulls out his mine) You see this friend of mine? This thing is lethal towards all human beings, no matter how ugly are they, or what. The SAS' special. It can really f*ck you up if you're gonna mess with me."
 * Hyde: "(Puts up his Toxic Grenade) You see, mate, this thing can really put some big f*ck on big-ass suckers who can really piss you off and break your entire bones and eat it, clean."
 * Smoke: "(Cocks his shotgun) I'm afraid that's enough. You threaten me once again, and your mouth's gonna be full of lead."
 * Hyde: "(Pulls out and equips his minigun) This one will shred ya to pieces if you threaten me, mate."

Ending
After defeating Polygon Man, Smoke decides to go back to his homeland in England. However, before going back, Smoke has another assignment of defending a certain house, containing an important intel from White Mask terrorists. When Smoke, along with Mute, Doc, and Pulse are preparing their defenses, Smoke is planting his mine. However, his body suddenly gets surrounded by a blue aura, and he nearly panics. He however, screamed before calming himself down. Mute approached him, and asked him what's around his body. Smoke told him that "Six's mission" gave him the aura, and he doesn't know what to do with it. After saying it, White Mask terrorists began to swarm the house, and three of them found Mute and Smoke. Suddenly, the blue aura surrounds Smoke's mine too, and triggers the toxic gas. The gas spreads out quickly around the house, killing the entire wave of terrorists. While so, the gas doesn't harm Smoke's other teammates. Pulse, on another room, shouts out that there are no other heartbeats in the house, other than theirs. Doc appears, and then checked the White Mask terrorists, saying that they're completely dead, their bodily organs can't work anymore. Mute, sees Smoke, followed by Doc, and Pulse who has just got out of the room. There's a brief silence, then Smoke said that they kill terrorists, anyway. Pulse responded by asking how can he do that. Smoke says that he should ask Six herself, as she's indirectly responsible for it. Smoke then gets out of the house, saying that if none of them's gonna help him "fix" himself, he's gonna ask Six to be "responsible".

Gameplay
Smoke is a tricky character that can give himself a lot of AP. Smoke can deploy multiple of his Nitro Cell around the stage to trap the enemy, forcing them to be damaged and give Smoke some  AP. Smoke can also get the enemy closer to the Nitro Cell (C4) by using his array of medium-range weapons to give him even more AP. If forcing the enemy to step on the Nitro Cell won't work, Smoke can detonate in on his own will. Not just that, Smoke's not limited to his Nitro Cell. He can also use the Barbed Wire, and his iconic Compound Z8 Grenade in his super move.
