## **Rahzar**

**Rahzar** is a minor antagonist in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Next Chapter universe and cohort to Tokka. He was originally a human martial arts star named **Chris Bradford**. He is now a mutant grey wolf (formerly a mutant Akita known as **Dogpound**). He started as Michelangelo's friend and now is his rival.

## Physical appearance

Kristoff Van Bradford is a middle-aged white man with long curly blonde hair with bangs, black eyes, tan skin, and a muscular figure. He wears a torn black sleeveless karategi with a red belt.

## Personality

Kristoff has an egotistical and prideful nature. It is not enough for him to defeat others, he must absolutely humiliate them. He has little integrity when it comes to obtaining victories, willing to cheat during a match despite agreeing to hold a rule-abiding fight.

Kristoff pushes his students to the limit with a strict attitude to make sure they can win, but he only cares about his pride instead of his students' mental and physical health. He is like this as both a human and Dogpound.

### As Rahzar

As Rahzar, he lost his memory and believed that he was a grey wolf that was mutated, becoming a hero and just wanting to have a mama along with Tokka. He finally found a mama in Karai, who adopted him. They lived happily ever after.

## Appearance

As a human, Chris Bradford was tall and muscular and had a dark brown beard, resembling the real life actor Chuck Norris.

Once mutated into "Dogpound," he bore many characteristics of the dog breed known as Akita. He had orange fur over the majority of his body, and white fur on his palms and stomach area. His most notable features included large, jagged spikes running up the center of his back (and spine). He also had spikes protruding from his left shoulder. His right hand was completely encrusted in the same material as his spikes were - and could be effectively used to block attacks from swords, sai, etc. There was also a notable difference in the size of his two arms; His left was much larger than his right one, and his right arm was quite a bit shorter and smaller than his left. He still wore the pants of his original, human suit, though they were torn at the cuff of the pant legs.

As his new form as Rahzar, he appears similarly to a skeletal werewolf with slightly darker fur. His body is now long and very bony. He has fur that has more of a silver, grey or brown tone, a longer snout with larger teeth, and his hands now appear to be made entirely out of bone. His snout is made of bone, he has no tail, and his limbs are once again symmetrical.

## History

Sometime after the disappearance of Lou Jitsu, Kristoff began to take over the Lou Jitsu School of Ninjutsu Dōjō to plant his own Komodo Dragon Karate Dojo in their place. Michelangelo attempts to make friends with him using social networking. Little does he know that Bradford is a member of the Foot Clan and is the Shredder's star pupil. He also served as the Foot's second-in-command. Bradford, in an attempt to win Mikey's trust, teaches him his secret technique, The Death Dragon. Michelangelo, in turn, teaches this to his brothers. Splinter notices this move as being a signature move of the Oroku Saki, thus making them realize that Bradford is evil and their "little" brother is in trouble.

## Relationships

### Allies

* **Oroku Saki** - The Shredder taught Bradford in the ways of ninjutsu (as well as telling him his darkest secrets), and he subsequently employed Bradford as one of his top henchmen within the Foot Clan. As implied in the series, the Shredder trusts Bradford in locating Splinter, but, to the Foot leader's disappointment, Bradford has been practically incompetent for such a task.
* **Tokka** - They do not like each other very much, due to their 'petty rivalry', but they do make a formidable team when they work together in their fights against the turtles.
* **Baxter Stockman** - When they met in "Mousers Attack!", Dogpound found him useful, as he was an inventor who was also capable of hacking into April O'Neil's cell phone (which contained information about Splinter's whereabouts). Though Stockman was their ally for that moment, Dogpound and Fishface proceeded to harass him when he refused to follow their every order. Stockman then betrayed them once again by trapping them in his 'Maze of Doom' in "Baxter's Gambit". Despite the fact that Stockman flew away after he is practically defeated, Dogpound (along with Fishface) were able to find him again in "Mikey Gets Shellacne", and they put a mutagen collar around his neck, threatening to turn him into a mutant if he does not turn them back into their human forms. However, Dogpound underwent a second mutation instead, during which he became a skeletal creature that resembles a werewolf.
* **Foot Soldiers** - He is sometimes seen commanding them what to do.
