Personality[]

Shredder Tengu was a megalomanical, sadistic, and ruthless being who willing to do anything to subjugate the world into his warped empire. Yet he's not above making deal with mortals if it suited his cause, as he bestowed Oroku Saki his dark powers in exchange of letting his soul within the latter's own knowing the latter would take the same dark path as the Tengu did.

History[]

A demonic Tengu named The Shredder was the earliest known incarnation of a being by that name. The exact origins of the Shredder Tengu were unknown; in the year 300 AD, he suddenly appeared in Hamato; Japan and went on a rampage. Shredder's ultimate goal was to subjugate the world and to turn it into his own personal empire full of agony and destruction.

To combat the seemingly-invincible demon, the Emperor called upon the Five Dragons: Kon, Juto, Chikara, Hisomi and Oroku Saki. Equipped with magical armor by the Imperial Court, they set out to fight the evil Tengu and managed to overpower him. However, just before Saki delivered the final blow, the original demon Shredder contacted him telepathically, asking Oroku Saki to take the Tengu's anima into himself in exchange for almost unlimited power. The ambitious Saki agreed to the offer and let the demon's soul merge with his own before he destroyed the Tengu's body with his sword.

The soulless husk dissolved into smoke, but the Tengu demon lived on through Saki; in time, he became known as the Tengu/Demon Shredder, the first human incarnation of the monster, that later inspired Ch'rell to adopt the identity of Oroku Saki while on Earth. It is also stated, that everyone who adopts the identity of the Shredder, also develops a mystical connection with the original Tengu. The final incarnation of the Shredder, was the Cyber Shredder, a digitized incarnation of Ch'rell. After the engram's defeat, Ch'rell returned once again, in Turtles Forever, where he was ultimately killed, finally ending the influence of the Tengu upon the world.
