Tim Drake

Childhood: 1995 - 2008
Born July 19th, 1995 as Timothy “Tim” Jackson Drake to Jack and Janet Drake. Jack was a successful business man while Janet was a legal advisor/accountant for Jack's business. From a young age Tim showed a heightened intelligence further advanced than kids his age. So his parents used their money to help him develop this intelligence.

But his parents also wanted him to physically excel in school so they also hired a personal trainer for him. When the time came for Tim to be enrolled in school, they sent him to Gotham Academy. And then in 2001, Tim and his family went to Haly's Circus where the Flying Graysons were performing. There he saw Dick Grayson perform a special move that left him in awe. But soon after, he witnessed the death of the Grayson adults.

When he became 10, he developed an interest into computers and technology. So he began studying them and learning how to code. When he was 12, Tim was watching the news when he witnessed Robin pull an aerial stunt that he saw performed only once... by Dick Grayson.

Using this info, he deduced that Robin was obviously Dick Grayson. And if Robin was Dick, then Batman had to be... Bruce Wayne. It made perfect sense to him, Bruce had the money to support himself being Batman. Seeing that someone like Bruce Wayne could be Batman, he trained with hopes that one day he could be a hero.

The Best Boy Wonder: 2010 - 2013
In 2010, Tim discovered that his father was actually in business with the Penguin. So Tim hacked into Oswald's account and rewired the money the Penguin extorted back to the people the Penguin extorted them. A week later, the Penguin hired Captain Boomerang to attack his family. Tim's mother ended up being killed while his father was crippled.

As a result Tim and his dad were put into witness protection. But Tim knew someone who could help, so the next day he approached Bruce and revealed he knew Bruce was Batman. After explaining how he knew Bruce was Batman, he asked Bruce for help. And Bruce agreed to help him.

Eventually, the investigation led to a hotel room... the same hotel room that Tim's father was staying in. Looking around, Bruce saw that the room was a mess and how a struggle happened there. When Bruce entered the bathroom... he saw the dead body of Jack Drake. Bruce immediately attempted to call Tim to check in on him which is when Alfred picked up the call.

Alfred informed Bruce of how Tim came to the mansion after Digger killed his father but that Digger followed and is now attacking them at the mansion. But then all of a sudden the line was cut. Bruce immediately got into the Batmobile and called my dad, informing him of the situation at the hotel. Pushing the Batmobile to it's limit, Bruce arrived at the mansion in about seven minutes. Once he arrived, he saw Tim holding his own against Digger using spare Batarangs and his own fighting skills. Bruce was impressed but interrupted and defeated Digger.

In the aftermath, Alfred convinced Bruce to adopt Tim. Bruce told Tim he was impressed but when Tim asked if he could be the new Robin, Bruce rejected the offer. But Tim knew that Batman needed a partner and called Dick in an attempt to get Dick to once more become Batman's partner. Dick refused and instead began training Tim. To also help him with his training, Dick had Tim join the Teen Titans as Robin.

And then the Cataclysm happened. Ra's al Ghul created a 7.6 earthquake. But he had also orchestrated a mass release of prisoners from Arkham and Blackgate. Bruce had went to fight the villainous Bane but Tim felt that something would go wrong. So Tim suited up as Robin and Alfred took Tim to where Bruce was. Thankfully Tim went there and was able to save Bruce from falling to his death.

Bruce was injured and so Tim and I called Dick and he came. We told him what happened and then asked him to take up the cape and cowl. At first Dick refused but after a discussion with me and Bruce, he agreed. But under one condition: Tim became the next official Robin, which Bruce agreed to.

But during this time, Bane had essentially conquered the rest of Gotham and had the bridges connecting Gotham to the rest of New Jersey blown up. With criminals on the loose and the city overrun, Gotham was declared a No Man's Land. With Bane having overrun the city, Ra's. Talia, and two members of the League known as Azrael and Kharuf 'Aswad had made themselves known in Gotham. But they never expected another Batman and Robin.

Now, when Dick was ready, he and Tim had become the new Dynamic Duo, taking down the crime in Gotham slowly but surely with the help of the Birds and Kate, who had recently become Batwoman. With the crime going down and a new Batman in the fold, the League had to change and quicken their plans. Sending Azrael and Kharuf 'Aswad against Dick and Tim. As they battled, Azrael was beating Dick while Tim and Jason fought. When Azrael beat and unmasked Dick, Kharuf 'Aswad stood in shock and said one word "Grayson". Tim took the opportunity and punched the guy and knocked off his mask and revealed that Kharuf 'Aswad was none other than Jason Todd.

While Jason was regaining his stance, Tim helped Dick escape from the grasp of Azrael. Dick quickly put his mask on and fought Azrael. When he saw he was losing, Azrael quickly grabbed Jason and fled back to the League. When informed of the revelation, Bruce was shocked to his core and dedicated more time to recuperating. When Azrael saw that Batman was Dick and not Bruce, he went a little crazy. And Jason was regaining his memories. So Jason separated himself from the League and went into hiding.

After Bruce battled Azrael, Bruce and the recently extended Batfam put away all the criminals, the bridges of Gotham were rebuilt, and Gotham returned to normal (as normal as Gotham could get). Tim stayed as Robin, Cassandra stayed as Batgirl (and was adopted by Bruce), and Bruce began searching for Jason.

During his time with the Titans, Tim grew close to fellow protégé Cassie Sandsmark. This led to the two of them beginning to date. And with the Titans Tim helped take down H.I.V.E. A few months later, Tim and Cass went out on patrol they encountered a young vigilante named the Spoiler.

Originally Tim had thought she was with the Cluemaster and chased after her. Tim caught her but when he reached for her mask she grabbed the nearest object, a brick, and hit is face with it. But Cassandra knew better and confronted her and tried to talk to her. Spoiler realized that Cass had trouble speaking and calmed down. After a conversation with Tim and Cass, they agreed to help Spoiler take down Cluemaster. At first, Bruce didn't allow Tim and Cass to reveal their identities at first and they listened... for a few months.

But then in 2012, a new vigilante arrived in Gotham using guns and wearing the bat symbol calling himself the Red Hood. Of course Bruce didn't like this and looked to stop this new vigilante. The Red Hood began going around involving himself in many criminals and their dealings. But Bruce noticed that while smuggling rings have gone up, crime has gone down. It was also around this time that Red Hood set up his gang, the Sons of Batman which Jean joined to redeem himself. The Sons were sort of a gang of vigilantes but also helped the Red Hood with the drug smuggling, weapons, etc.

The Red Hood had been targeting other crime lords, most notably Roman Sionis, the Black Mask. The Red Hood interrupted many of Roman's deals and shipments, disorganizing the Black Mask's criminal empire. The Red Hood even attempted to blow up Roman. But Black Mask and his associates with him at the time were able to survive.

After a while, Bruce had his assumptions of who the Red Hood was but never acted on them. However, when the Red Hood was attacked by some mercenaries. But Red Hood had the Sons backing him up and they managed to hold their own. Bruce then appeared and helped them subdue then and then Red Hood killed one of the members. When he did this, Bruce went up to him and asked him why he did it. Red Hood answered and then Bruce asked who he thinks he is and once more Red Hood answered. Bruce then told him he needed to stop using guns and do actual good. The Red Hood then made a remark about Bruce getting people hurt and he's the one who needs to be better.

Bruce then punched the Red Hood and the Red Hood ordered the Sons to go after him which is when they refused to stating that they were the Sons of Batman. So Red Hood stood up and chased Bruce. Fighting at a train station, Red Hood used moves Bruce knew very well and Bruce was able to gain the upper hand. But then Red Hood turned the tide by throwing him across the train station. A train appeared and Red Hood disappeared saying "Nice job Bruce".

Without the Sons backing him up and Black Mask still alive, the Red Hood began losing his grip on other criminals. So he went into hiding for a couple of days. While Bruce was investigating the Red Hood, Tim approached him and asked Bruce if it was him... if he thinks that Red Hood really is Jason. But Bruce didn't answer, he just stared at Tim. Well then Alfred came into the Batcave and told them to turn on the news. When they did, they saw that Red Hood did something Bruce and the others hadn't been able to do, he found and captured the Joker.

Bruce and Tim immediately went to the bridge where the Red Hood was. Bruce arrived and tried to talk the Red Hood out of killing the Joker. And while this, Tim sneaks up on Red Hood and puts him in a choke hold that allows Bruce to grab Red Hood's helmet and revealed who we thought was Red Hood all along... Jason. Using everyone's shock to his advantage, Jason grabbed Tim and threw at Bruce. Jason then grabbed the Joker and fled. Bruce and Tim (who was still a little dazed from what happened) quickly got into the Batmobile and followed Jason.

They followed Jason to Crime Alley where he was waiting for them. Jason showed Bruce the Joker and that strapped to Joker was a bomb and Jason told Bruce the only way to get to the Joker was through him. And so they began fighting with Bruce grabbing and throwing away Jason's guns. Bruce grappled to the nearest rooftop and Jason followed. Bruce managed to subdue Jason which is when Jason remarked that the bomb would blow up then but it didn't. Jason kicked Bruce and escaped and saw that Tim disabled the bomb.

Jason leapt into the air and tackled Tim. Jason grabbed his guns that were nearby and told Bruce to decide between the Joker and Tim. Bruce asked why the hell Jason was doing this. Jason said that he forgave Bruce for letting him die but not for letting the Joker lived. Bruce revealed that he wanted to but Dick convinced him against it. The Bruce told Jason that if he did this, he would be just as bad as the Joker. Those words hit Jason like a freight train and Jason realized what he was doing. Jason let them go and threw a smoke bomb and ran away in shame of what he had done.

Later in the year, Tim was injured and was unable to perform his duties as Robin. Instead of leaving Batman without a Robin, Tim suggested Stephanie become Robin and she did excellent in the role. During the time Tim was injured, he and Cassie broke up. Tim healed up a few weeks later and Steph offered to return the role of Robin to Tim.

She had doubts of being Robin as she felt she was doing a poor job. But he refused stating that Steph had earned the suit and title. This heartfelt moment led to Tim and Steph having their first official kiss. So instead Tim became the Red Robin and he and Steph began dating.

Red Robin: 2013 - 2014
However in 2013, Damian Wayne arrived. Damian had a hard time adjusting to this new life. Being the "true son of the Bat", Damian felt that his brothers were not worthy of such titles and felt he needed to prove himself to his father. So after a week of studying the house and the land the house was built on, Damian attacked. Jason was in the Batcave where Damian was headed so once Damian saw Jason there, he attacked him. Damian caught Jason by surprise and quickly defeated him. Damian then took an old robin suit and modified it with his League of Assassins gear to his liking.

Before Jason was defeated, he activated the alarm and Tim arrived in his gear. Tim and Damian fought for a while with Tim winning... or so it seems. Damian actually had been leading Tim to a trap. But Tim managed to see the trap in time and tried to switch it on Damian. But neither fell for the other's tricks and so the battle continued. But in the end Damian was able to use Tim's moves against him.

The next day, Bruce called a family meeting and announced Batman Incorporated, a group that is publicly funded by Bruce and the official protectors of Gotham. It was here that Bruce showed Damian in his Robin costume and Stephanie as Batgirl. Bruce asked Dick to once again take up the mantle of Batman and become the field commander of Batman Inc. for a few months and Dick agreed to do so. Tim later left the Titans with Bart, Cassie, etc to join the Team as Young Justice.

Red X: 2014
In 2014, as Tim and Young Justice were took down Granny Goodness' company of virtual reality goggles, a rumor began spreading across the high-level inmates of Arkham Asylum. As they needed access to this rumor, Tim and Bruce made a plan for Tim to infiltrate Arkham.

Before infiltrating Arkham, Tim knew he needed to earn a reputation in the underground criminal empire of Gotham. And to do this he took the Red X suit from the vault it was in at Titans Tower. He even upgraded the suit with his Red Robin tech. As Red X he committed high-level crimes, and when Batman showed up, Tim would disappear to plan his next heist.

However, once Tim developed his reputation, he allowed himself to be captured. Before handing him over to Arkham, Bruce gave Tim a piece of tech that would disguise him as someone else. Once there, he knew he couldn't start just asking questions, so instead he began making connections.

Once he made these connections, he began asking the right questions. After many people refused, one person told him who to talk to. This led him to Benjamin Turner aka the Bronze Tiger. At first, Ben refused to give Tim any information but after Tim saved Ben from an attack, he told him. He revealed that Ra's al Ghul and the League of Assassins were planning on doing something in Gotham, but no one knew exactly what.

After this Tim began thinking of an escape plan to get out of Arkham and get the info to Bruce. But during this, the League of Assassins received the news that Ben squealed on them and so they blew up Arkham. Using the explosion as a distraction, Tim was going to escape but he saw some of the League members attacking Ben and had to help. But once that was done he left and stayed at a hotel.

However, a few moments after he arrived, he left to talk with Bruce and someone sneaked into his room, taking the Red X suit. He told Bruce that the League was up to something but no one knows exactly what. Tim also stated that he was going to infiltrate the League to find out what they are up to. Bruce refused but Tim insisted.

Alttayir Al'ahmar: 2014 - 2015
Tim managed to get an audience with Ra's himself and inquired if he could join the League. He claimed that he had realized that Bruce's teachings were wrong and that he wanted to train under Ra's. Ra's agreed to take him into the League if he did a favor for him... Tim needed to pull one more heist, using nothing but a League suit and robbing Wayne Enterprises' Happy Harbor division.

Without any communications, he couldn't warn us about his upcoming heist. So when his friends on the Team showed up after he grabbed what he needed, he had to defeat them. But unbeknownst to Tim, they were stalling so Bruce could show up. Bruce showed up and began fighting Tim. At first he didn't recognize Tim, but as they fought he recognized the fighting style and realized it was Tim. Bruce realized that it was Tim and pinned Tim down, unmasking him. Bruce gasped in shock as he saw Tim's face and winked at Tim, signaling him. Tim pushed back against Bruce and made his escape.

Once Ra's knew that Tim was ready to betray his friends, he enlisted him into the League. Now in, Tim began his mission, to weaken the League. He quickly went up the ranks and became a one of Ra's right hand men. With this, he was sent to various bases to observe and report. And each time he was sent to a base of the League, he imprisoned some of the members of that base. And when he was sent to assassinate people, he faked their deaths.

But Bruce was captured by an old friend of his, Thomas Elliot. Tim tried to help but to maintain his cover, he couldn't. But then Damian contacted Talia and Talia saved Bruce. Yet while Bruce was saved, he needed to heal. So Talia had Tim become her right hand man and she revealed she had Bruce, and that she wanted Tim to look over Bruce. He did and and then the others captured Thomas. When Talia took Bruce back, Tim chose to follow, feeling he did enough.

Red Robin: 2015 - Present
So April of 2015, Bruce and Selina got married. And then a week later the Robin war began. Bruce tried to get involved but Dick, Jason, etc. (Robins present and past) told Bruce to not get involved as it would make it worse, but of course he did. Bruce infiltrated the Sons of Batman, the gang who oversaw the We Are Robin group.

Tim and the others trained these kids and Tim even bonded with. During this, Bruce saved the life of Duke and as a result outed himself in the Sons. So Bruce confronted the others, telling them that they need to end this. The next day, Duke announced to the We Are Robin group that he's disbanding the group and effectively quitting the Sons. With Tim back, he began helping Young Justice once more with the investigation into Granny's company which they took down.

In summer of that year, Ra's began his war against Bruce. At first all that happened was that League minions would attack various members of the Bat-family or those affiliated with them. It wasn't until August of that year that there was a full-scale attack. In order to survive, they chose to be with groups. Bruce was with Cass and Jason, Dick with Damian and Tim, etc. But then they were split up with Damian battling Talia and Dick battling... Deathstroke.

Tim began helping Damian but as Dick was battling Deathstroke, it was evident he was winning. So as Damian and Tim were battling Talia, Damian told Tim to help Dick. As Dick was fighting Deathstroke, he saw Tim in the corner of his eye and remembered his past experiences with Slade, So he distracted Slade and Tim came into the fold and kicked Deathstroke. With both past Robins fighting Deathstroke, they won.

During the final battle, Bruce and Ra's were fighting to the death. But in the end, Bruce refused to kill. So as Bruce walked away Ra's got up and attempted to stab Bruce in the back. But Damian had quickly moved and stabbed Ra's. Damian had stabbed Ra's in a spot that could kill him but gave him enough time to be brought to a Lazarus Pit and be healed.

As Tim was proposing to Steph, he was contacted by Bruce. Bruce then summoned him and Young Justice to the Watchtower. Once there, Bruce and the other core members of the League informed Young Justice and the other teams that something is coming. Then Mister Miracle stepped up and explained that Darkseid is coming. So Tim and the others banded together to fight against Darkseid. They won and as of now, Tim and Steph are engaged and taking down crime together alongside the batfamily.
