Foot Clan (The Next Chapter)

History
Splinter and Shredder met as orphaned street kids and started the Foot Clan.

Years later, Shredder and Splinter both fell in love with the same woman named Tang Shen. The rivalry that had long been a part of their friendship was severely strained by this development.

Shredder discovered his heritage and that the responsible for his clan's extinction and the death of his biological father was Hamato Yuuta, the man he once called father and master. Then he attacked Splinter's home with murderous intent. In the attack Tang Shen was killed and both men were badly injured with Splinter trapped in the burning remains of his house. Shredder, meanwhile, walked away with Splinter's infant daughter Hamato Miwa, who he renamed Karai.

Shortly after this event, Shredder re-discovered the Kuro Kabuto and began to habitually wear it to cover the burns on parts of his face which he sustained in the attack on Splinter's home. He set out to rebuild the Foot Clan until it became a powerful criminal syndicate.

Eleven years later, Shredder learned that Splinter had survived the fire and was living somewhere in New York City. Upon his arrival, he discovered that the "new ninja clan" he thought Splinter was training were in fact four mutated turtles. For being important to Splinter, and for consistently interfering in the Foot Clan's activities, they earned the utter hatred of the Foot Clan and Shredder. Their presence pushed the Foot Clan to form an alliance with The Kraang who provided them with advanced technology. The Kraang provided them with Footbots to strengthen the Foot Clan and even Chrome Dome.

After the Shredder was killed by Splinter, Karai took over the Foot Clan to find Splinter and the Turtles to kill them for killing her "father". She said she would recruit an old friend. After that, she said "Shinigami".
