Extrapolating the fact that scars from prior to death are permanent, what if Nicky had some chronic condition that remained even after he turned immortal. Maybe an example could be he has respiratory condition like asthma and gets flair ups periodically...nothing too life threatening although it does get in the way at times for long drawn out fights where he has to exert a lot (maybe why he's the team sniper?) Also with industrial revolution and worsening air pollution, Nicky's flair ups are increasing and worsening. Does he die few times because his airways construct badly? Does Nile notice at some point and is like "Where's your inhaler???" "????"
Joe/Nicky, chronic illness Nicky
