Master Splinter - In the original comics, Splinter was the pet rat of a ninja named Hamato Yoshi in Japan. Intelligent for his species, Splinter was able to learn his master's art by mimicking his movements while he practiced.
Yoshi became embroiled in a dispute with a fellow ninja by the name of Oroku Nagi and was eventually murdered.
Years later Oroku Saki, the brother of the man he had killed came to the city to start and founded a branch of the Foot Clan and in his new disguise, the Shredder tracked down and killed both Yoshi and Shen (wife) in cold blood.
Additionally in the 1990 film, Splinter escapes from his cage during the murder, and attacked Saki, clawing at his face, while Saki sliced his ear off. It is suggested this mutilation is the reason Saki took the Shredder disguise to hide the scars.
Without a home, Splinter was forced to run away and live in the New York City sewers.
Due to a traffic accident, four baby turtles and a canister of radioactive ooze were sent down into the sewer, where the ooze mutated both Splinter and the turtles.
He awoke the next morning to the see that both he and the turtles had doubled in size, all of them were also growing intellect soon learning to walk upright. The turtles followed him everywhere except to the surface but one day he received a shock, one of the turtles spoke the word "Splinter" and in doing so named him. In turn, out of battered renaissance art book he found in a storm drain, Master Splinter gave them the names Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael.
He decided to train the turtles in the art of Ninjitsu with the intention of one day charging them with the mission to avenge his master's death.
When the turtles were old enough Splinter told his sons of his master Yoshi and of their true origin. Now that he was old and believed not long for the world he asked that the turtles track down and kill the Shredder.
