## Biography

### Early Life

Oroku Sakichi was born in 1960 into the Oroku Family, direct descendants of the founders of the Yami-No-Ashi Clan. His father, Oroku Yori, was the founder of an internal cult of traditionalists who wanted to return the Clan to its roots, but he died after touching an expired mutagen. Yori's wife died while giving birth to Sakichi, so the baby was left in the care of his older brother, Nagi.

Since childhood, Sakichi has shown extraordinary talent in martial arts, as well as devotion to the ideals of the Clan, although closer to his teenage years, Nagi was able to infect him with the traditionalist ideas of their father. Already at the age of 12, Sakichi went to study with the Ancient One, a great master, where he proved his superiority, becoming his best student. Until his maturity, he wandered around Japan and demonstrated himself in every possible way as an experienced fighter and fiery leader.

### Overthrow of the Power

In 1984, Oroku Nagi died in an accident during an argument with Yamato Yoshi, a member of the ruling family of the Yami-No-Ashi Clan. Upon learning of his brother's death, Sakichi recruited a small force of yakuza and Nagi followers within the clan itself to overthrow the power of the Yamato family and avenge his brother. He attacked the clan's village, took most of the inhabitants prisoner, while he executed the Elders, and with them the entire Yamato Yoshi family. Before this, Yoshi sent a curse on him, and although Sakichi was not superstitious, for the next decades he would be wary of the prediction in every possible way. After this, Oroku Sakichi takes into the care of his brother's baby girl, whom he names Karai and raises as his daughter.

Having taken control of the Clan, Oroku returned the regime to the times of Feudal Japan, setting Yami-No-Ashi's main goal to find ways to return the tengu god Shureda. To this end, Sakichi turned the clan into an international crime syndicate, which made its fortune through hired murders, theft, espionage, and sabotage throughout the globe. He himself took on the title of Shuretsuda, also known as the Shredder.

## Appearance

Oroku Sakichi is a middle-aged Japanese man with dark hair, sharp features, average height and slim but fit bodyshape. The hair is long, but usually tied up in a traditional Japanese bun. Thinning black beard. There is a long scar near his right eye, received under unknown circumstances.

Shredder wears a dark purple kimono, over which is modified dou plate armor, flattened and more closely fitting, covering his torso. The kabuto helmet has a unique addition in the form of a three-pointed sharp diadem. The mengu's face plate does not have the distinct features of a human face, but retains some patterns for association. Kote's mittens are stuffed with sharp spikes, and sode's shoulder pads have fastenings that are sharp at the tip and raised to the top. An integral attribute in the form of clawed gloves for both hands is sewn into the kote mittens. The feet are protected by haidate and suneate plates, and waraji sandals are also worn on the feet. Dark purple obi belt and cape, as well as ropes securing the armor.

Shredder also has a more technologically advanced exoskeleton-suit, while maintaining the main design details that reference Japanese armor and clothing. At the same time, more standard shoulder pads with spikes, red eyes (a special mask with visors), blades on the leg armor, and a number of other mechanical additives appear that improve Shredder’s physiology.

## Personality

Cold and calculating, Shredder respects the code of Bushido, although he sometimes flouts ideals for personal gain. He is honest and respectful even with his enemies, he is fair enough and gives everyone a chance to show what they are capable of, although in the end he still wins. Even despite his far from young age, Oroku Sakichi tortures his body with training and torture to the limit, often subjecting it to critical indicators, and all because he remembers death and is always ready for it.

He does not forget about spiritual self-development, devoting his free time to tea ceremonies and literature. He treats his loyal subordinates with respect, and brutally punishes those who have failed him and the clan. In none of the cases does he show any strong emotions, remaining surprisingly calm. The only person around whom Oroku Sakichi demonstrates a greater range of feelings is Karai, whom he values ​​as much as his goal. A talented strategist, an inspiring leader, a successful businessman, a loving father, a respectful man, despite all his heinous crimes, he appears as a controversial figure, driven to commit villainy by a radical, uncompromising philosophy.
