As for your question, maybe only a little bit; I mean he does have a more tragic origin story. The 1987 Splinter was expelled from his clan when Shredder tricked him; where as 2012 Splinter had his entire clan massacrued, his wife murdered, and his daughter stolen from him when she was only a baby.
