A mysterious dark-skinned humanoid alien (or African American) in the forty-fifth century who follows the code of the Samurai.

Mystery G - A mysterious elderly Contra operative. While not openly confirmed in the game, it is acknowledged that Mystery G is the actual Bill Rizer, having survived for centuries.
