Draxum's plan to mutate his most powerful soldiers had him with doubts prior to the experiment. He performed tests to ensure that the mutation would occur efficiently. After experimenting on many animals, he tested the turtles. The first trial went quite well, much better than he had hoped. However, the resulting beast turned out to be rather docile and harmless. He had expected the mutant to be more aggressive and combative. Given the current conditions, he felt it would be a waste of efforts to look after an offspring. So he delegated Huginn and Muninn to convey the child to an address in the undercity city. After years of work and dedication to conducting his experiment, losing his laboratory, and enduring countless setbacks and distractions, Draxum failed to recall the existence of previous experimental subjects. Despite his previous investment in time, effort, and resources, he felt no need to retain any recollection of the trials that proceeded the current batch of subjects. However, this all changed when the turtles inquired about his earlier projects. Out of any of them that could survive the lab after it was damaged many times and lost, was the one who he had put off into the undercity.
