Did we ever find out Tiger Claw's backstory?

Oroku Nagi? Who's Oroku Nagi?

Oroku Nagi was first introduced in the Mirage Comic. He was the older brother of Oroku Saki. Nagi was the one who loved Tang Shen aside from Yoshi, and he couldn't accept that she had chosen Yoshi as her husband. So one night he breaks into Yoshi's house and beats her until Yoshi arrives and kills him. And since killing a member of ones own clan was cause for banishment. Yoshi and Shen travel to New York and start a new life there. Saki follows them to New York years later and kills Yoshi and Shen to avenge his brothers murder.

According to Rahzar in Wormquake. Tiger Claw had been mutated by the Kraang decades ago.

And when Karai asked him about his tail...Tiger Claw says "I lost my tail in a duel against an adversary, whom he hopes to find one day and slay."

I thought it was interesting that during the vision quest Donnie was put against Tiger Claw rather then Stockmen. And also Donnie is the only Turtle that Tiger Claw never encountered initially. He knew Donatello existed and he lumps him in with his brothers because well he's a Turtle. But I often wondered why the writers and the production team, wanted to play things out in that fashion.

Donnie tends to excel in situations that deal with diplomacy more then situations that require brute force. So it is surmise-able that if Donnie was abducted by the Foot Clan, he would try to reach his enemy by trying to understand him. Such as asking how he was mutated? why was he mutated? Why is he getting out of being involved with the Shredder?

At first Tiger Claw would be resistant to it and say "Such questions are no business of yours "little one". But after a while he might be more forth coming about his past and why he sides with the Shredder. And maybe the shear fact that someone is seeing him and talking to him as though he were a person and not as a weapon might cause a shift in Tiger Claws mindset.
