Sounds like he was the uncast 5th ninja turtle.

There was a nominal head of state in Iran who got involved in crime in new york out of boredom and eventually quit his obligations to Iran to pursue his political crime career. Felt like he had more control there. Then a few years after the political protections ended he was shot.

Otherwise unrelated.

The packet called for 4 in its original draft, but had a note saying there should be a fifth that shows up.

Nobody could write a good enough 5th, and at the time it was better to have fewer stars. It was easier to keep celebrities under control that way. IIRC they auditioned both Patrick Swayze and Andrew Dice Clay for the role, since they had no idea what they would have wanted if they did finish writing the character.

This was long after the cartoon canon was established, as a divergent work, and the producers for the film wanted to use up the packet for the live action movie.

The Sopranos show had such great writing and acting.
