Hieronymus Hale is a corrupt politician with connections to the Foot Clan.
History[]
In his youth, Hieronymus Hale swam in the Hudson River, played stick ball in the middle of 42nd street, and picked fights while trespassing uptown.
Growing up, Hale found himself as an outcast, ignored by everyone, except his parents. Eventually, he studied to be a prosecutor, humiliating all his teachers. At some point, he bought his parents an apartment. One day, his parents were murdered and Hale went to a bar, where in his drunken stupor, insulted mutants, which Rocksteady and Bebop overheard and beat him up. Eventually, they brought him before Oroku Karai, who showed off his parents' alleged killer, a mutant gopher. Karai then coaxed Hale into killing the mutant, but stopped himself. Discovering the whole ordeal was filmed, Karai shows off that she had signed him up to be the new district attorney. Eventually at some point, Hale murdered the mutant at the graves of the former's parents.
Hale was first seen when he murdered his political opponent and made it look like a suicide. After this he tells corrupt policemen on his payroll to inform Karai that he just got a "bump" in the polls and the next day's election is as good as his.
After he was elected District Attorney, he gave a speech to a group of Foot Ninja he'd made his personal task force, about saving New York from itself from getting too "soft" and made wanted posters of the Turtles.
Hale's newly elected position was controversial as he had the Foot Clan attack a mob of protesters and fired his fellow colleagues. Eventually, Casey Jones attempted to thwart the attack but was captured and brought before Hale in an abandoned building, where the latter expressed disappointment and anger in Casey supporting mutants and his vigilantism before making him go through the same measure Karai had him do. When Casey succeeded, Hale double crosses him and shoots him.
Personality[]
Hieronymus Hale is blunt, ill-tempered and obnoxious. He has a strong hatred for mutants yet is willing to work with and make deals with them if it furthers his goals as when he joined the Foot Clan which has mutants in their ranks then he gave Lao Ban resources to build his criminal empire in Mutant Town. Despite his obvious repugnant personality traits Hale is very charismatic as he rallied many New Yorkers behind him in his quest to "save" the city. Hale is willing to use any underhanded tactics to win.
