Physical Appearance: Matteo is the equivalent of a baby mostly in mind and body apart from the fact he has teeth, being mostly defenceless, but can deliver a good bite when cranky.
While he is a crocodile, his build is identical to Donatello's and he has a turtle-shell with scales that go down his back like Leatherhead's. He has a longer snout then Donatello's, but a shorter one then Leatherhead's.

Personal Profile: Technically being a baby, Matteo has yet to develop a proper personality, however he seems a curious and intelligent infant, but is prone to vicious little tantrums during which he will not hesitate to bite his family, this could be a sign that he has or will inherit Leatherhead's temper problems.

Originally created as one of his experiments by Agent Bishop, Matteo was meant to be the "Ultimate Weapon" using DNA samples taken when he captured Leatherhead and the Turtles, a way for Bishop to be rid of the turtles once and for all.
With samples from what he considered superior specimens, Bishop sought to create a creature with Don's intelligence and Leatherhead's strength, then slowly raise and develop it to take his orders without any question.

Unluckily for his creator, Matteo was discovered by one of his 'fathers' during the evacution of Area 51 after Donatello was cured of his second mutation.
While Bishop was upstairs recieving the Heart of Tengu, Leatherhead thought he heard a baby crying from within the room and found Matteo inside a bio-incubation tube stationed in the lab.

Not wanting Bishop to corrupt an innocent for his own purposes, the crocodile got him out, sneaking him upstairs in time to see Donatello cured.
The turtles barely had time to ask questions though as the base was going to blow up and Matteo ended up with them as everyone's thoughts were more on getting clear in time than where the baby had come from.
