Oroku Saki

Oroku Saki also known as The Shredder or the One True Shredder is one of the main protagonists of the series.

He is the true leader of the real Foot Clan.

Unlike his many canon counterparts, this version serves as an ally to the protagonists.

## Appearance

The Shredder is a slim, but tall, brawny, and toned Japanese man with shiny, chrome plated armor on his chest, shoulders, arms and lower legs, worn over a maroon outfit with a dark blue cape hanging over his back. His signature helmet, the Kuro Kabuto, is perhaps the most notable aspect of his appearance and it masks a face that is partially burned and disfigured, such to the extent that he has very little vision left in his right eye.

Unlike previous incarnations of the Shredder who held tekko-kagi in their hands, this version uses customized, partially mechanical ones built into his gauntlets. His armor is also larger and bulkier than previous versions, except perhaps Ch'rell, though it's streamlined and smooth at the same time. The spikes on it are larger, longer and more blade-like than most previous versions (though once again bearing some similarities to Ch'rell's). As previously stated this Shredder suffers a serious, disfiguring burn on the right side of his face; a considerably greater injury than the scratch marks most others possess that leaves him nearly, or completely, blind in that eye.

## Personality

He has shown to care for his family and loved ones and will do anything to protect them.

He has shown to have great hatred for Eric Sacks and his faction of the Foot Clan.

## Skills & Abilities

The Shredder is extremely strong and agile from decades of training in martial arts.

These many years spent perfecting his skills have left him as an almost unparalleled master of martial arts with only Splinter and Jackie Chan standing as an equal to him.

His skills are so great that not even all four turtles together were not able to do much more than be a nuisance to him in combat; though each turtle was able to strike him once, their strikes caused little injury and had no lasting effect.

His skills are great enough that even the mutants under his command respect and fear him; including the vicious Tiger Claw who is said in The Manhattan Project, Part 1, to be the "most feared assassin in all of Asia." In a recent fight, he showed himself capable of fighting off both the Turtles *and* the Mutanimals with little difficulty.

The Shredder is very fast for a human, easily matching his speed with the finest Olympic runners; for example, in The Gauntlet, Shredder can move so fast that it is like "he was everywhere at once" stated by Donatello.

In Annihilation: Earth!, Part 2, Shredder impressively defeated some of the Triceratons in hand-to-hand combat.

The Shredder's awe-inspiring fighting skills are only maximized further by the nigh indestructible bladed armor he wears, complete with customized and slightly mechanical bagh naka with extendable claws and a third katar-like blade that is concealed between the two claws.

These blades are so strong and sharp that they can cut shipping containers and the spikes that protruded from Dogpound's shoulder.

In addition, the blades create an extremely intimidating silhouette for the purposes of psychological combat.

The end result is that Shredder can both defend and attack at the same time, making his whole body both a shield and a sword.

Yet perhaps just as potent as his physical abilities are the Shredder's intellect and skillful business mind.

In approximately fifteen years, he was able to transform his faction of the Foot Clan from a dying, scattered ninja clan in rural Japan into a powerful global syndicate.
