The Purple Dragons are, along with the Foot Clan, one of the two powerful factions in New York that serve Oroku Saki. The gang is led by Hun, The Utrom Shredder's right-hand man. Because of Hun's loyalty to the Shredder, they work in conjunction with the Foot Clan. In order to join the Purple Dragons, prospects would have to commit several crimes with gang members. After that, they had to battle each other in an elimination match. If they did well enough, they would be given the tattoo and become a full member. The Purple Dragons have been around for a while.
When Casey Jones was a kid, his father's shop was burned down by the Purple Dragons when Casey's dad refused to pay protection money.
When the Purple Dragons, the Foot and the Mafia, went to war to take over the Shredder's territory, Hun led the former.
In the aftermath of the Utrom Shredder's exile, Hun began to strengthen the Purple Dragons, evolving them from just a street gang to an organized crime syndicate. They began to steal high tech Triceraton and Federation weaponry from the government, but accidentally brought a mutant, Finn.
When the Tengu Shredder turned New York City into a demonic capital, the Purple Dragons were holed up in their stronghold. They joined forces with the Turtles, EPF, and the Justice Force to stop the Shredder.
A year later, there has been word that the Shredder is coming back, so Hun has the Purple Dragons locate the Ring of Yin to grant him the power to stand up against the Shredder. They get the wrong one and the right one gets on April O'Neil. Hun captured her to extract it but she turns into a monster and flies off. Hun struck an alliance with Baxter Stockman to hack the Foot data vaults to steal and replicate Foot power technology to steal valuable funds.
