## **Biography**

### Tim Drake: 1993 - 2006

Timothy Jackson Drake was born to Jackson and Janet Drake both who had worked in Gotham's legal department as both having aided Gotham in various charities, even working with Harvey Dent on some occasions. Due to his parents work in the DA office, a four year old Tim and his parents had left to see the Graysons perform which was hosting a Dent event. This would one of Tim's most remembered memories as he would retain Dick's moves in the air due to his sharp memory. Due to his parents both noticing this they had decided to place Tim in advanced schooling.

At age eight, Tim would discover that his parents were paid to look away from certain cases, mostly at the orders of Carmine Falcone or Sal Maroni, two of the biggest crime families around this time. After doing some digging Tim discoverd that this was to hide Zucco's involvement of the Grayson's murder. With Tim having recalled the murder the following four years ago. While Tim had tried to report this to a sergeant, he was pushed away even when he attempted to reach out to a detective. Tim chose to sneak onto the rooftop and turn on the Bat-signal with Batman, Robin, and Batgirl arriving and was able to cause a big power fight in the process.

Without the Falcones or Maronis caused the Drakes business to crumble. With their client list having been otted by Maroni to drag them down with them with Janet having been chosen to briefly fill in after Harvey's scarring, The Drakes would move out of their highrise and Tim being placed into modest schooling. Regardless Tim felt that deep down that what he had down was the right thing. One of the criminals that Jake and Jane had arrested on the pay of Falcone was Jonathan Crane AKA The Scarecrow, having used a far more lethal gas which killed Janet and would leave Jack restricted to a wheelchair for the time being though the gas would be too potent and killed Jack.

Seeking out the help of Bruce Wayne who he had learned was Batman asked for the role of Robin, being denied this chance still regretting his failure over Jason. Though Alfred felt that Bruce needed a Robin and with the help of Dick they had begun to train Tim in secret, eventually this came through when Tim had aided Bruce on a case, Bruce eventually caved and gave Tim the role of Robin.

### Robin: 2006 - 2012

As the third Robin, Tim proved to be the most on par with Bruce's detective skills, even stated by various others that Tim was able to stop crimes that took even Bruce a while to catch up on, though the following year Ra's had destroyed Gotham's bridges cutting us off from the main land. Bruce would wear himself thin in the process which would led to his brutal battle with Bane, this led to possible recruit Jean-Paul Valley as a replacement.

Though his methods proved to be too brutal, as Tim would often need to step in to stop him from going too far, Tim would begin to work on his own though but decided that Dick would be needed to aid his efforts in containing the rioters. After swiftly defeating Jean the new and improved dynamic duo seemed to be quite effective in bringing Gotham back to order.

Upon Bruce's return back to the cowl, the two worked well but Tim seemed to grown a more independent style of crime fighting. Tim made his splash his as Robin having stopped numerous plots along with a few smuggling rings. Tim would often spend his time with the new team, Young Justice with Cassandra Cain and Peter Parker, it didn't really take long for Tim to adapt with his teenage teammates. But the most important reason was his time with Cassandra Sandsmark.

During this time, Tim would often become interested in the new vigilante, going by the name of Spoiler. Whenever he could he would offer his skills to Spoiler with the aid of Batgirl and Spider-Man, regardless of what Tim said him and Steph were only flirtatious between the two, since the two hadn't revealed their identities to each other. Roughly a year before his senior year Tim would spent two months complying a investigation into the Light and their plans with the Reach.

During Tim's time in Gotham attending a Wayne Foundation event, along with a brief encounter as Robin, he had discovered that Steph hadn't been going on patrols for a while, while Tim had tried to ask her about it she had gotten upset and would storm off. Not long after, Cass would explain to Tim that Steph was actually pregnant after a fling with an old boyfriend. Tim took the news quite as well as anyone would, and later told her that they were done as friends.

As the summer was coming to an end, Cass and Alfred had pushed Tim into making amends with Steph Tim would eventually apologized to Steph. Though Steph would make him earn it as she made Tim aid her through pregnancy, a couple of months later Steph would give birth to a healthy daughter to which she would give her up for adoption.

Upon his last year of High school, Tim had begun to link the information of a group calling themselves, N.O.W.H.E.R.E, to which they had been kidnapping various meta-human teens, deciding that Robin wouldn't get him that far he donned the role of Red Robin instead to aid him in his investigation. This led to him hopping from city to city in the end was able able to shut down the operation.

### Red Robin: 2012 - 2015

Upon his return to Gotham he had learned that Steph had taken the role of Robin, under the guidance of Bruce and Cass, while she offered the mantle back to Tim he had denied having favored on doing things on his own as he cobbled together pieces from his Robin suit and Dick's old Red X suit to create a high tech armored suit that fit Tim's style.

After gathering his friends during their time as Titans, Tim had formed 'the Team' with Tim having gained funding by Bruce as the Team was a covert unit often operating under the public's eye. With the team having settled down in an old Justice League base. Tim would later learn of his best friend Conner and Cassie had begun dating and would wish the two the best of luck.

During the time of the Reach Invasion and the attacking and kidnapping of the League, Tim and Steph would begin to pursue a full time relationship, though Tim would need to don the role of Batman due to Bruce and Dick being out of commission for the time being.

### Batman: 2015

Being the third of Bruce's son, it's clear that it's been a running theme for Tim ever since he joined the life of capes and heroes, as he's the third person to don his father's cowl. The reasoning behind Tim donning the role of Batman with Dick having been undercover and Bruce was still gaining his strength after being shot by Thomas Elliot. Though Tim was still one the guard to enlist Jason as the next Batman, Bruce had stood still in his choice as Batman.

It took a while for Tim to adjust his role of Batman, having needed to adjust to being more skillful and needed to adjust to the added flair of being the Bat. As Batman, Tim is stone-faced, and rather quick to the punch seeming to rather his skill over his personality. Though he still cracks a smile from time to time and often does things with on his own, however since Bruce's healing Tim had chosen to return to his role of Red Robin along with proposing to Steph.

## Strengths

* **Acrobatics:** Tim is probably the least acrobatic of the Robins, but he is by no means clumsy.
* **Driving:** Trained by Batman, Tim is skilled in driving and piloting a variety of vehicles.
* **Genius Intellect:** Tim possesses a genius-level intellect. Tim is, without a doubt, the most gifted member of the Bat Family in terms of raw intellectual genius. Yes, I'm including myself and Bruce in there. Tim is smart... like Ted Kord level smart. While he is not as skilled with computers as I am, it's only a matter of time before he surpasses me. Even Bruce has remarked that Batman might not be the World's Greatest Detective anymore as he believes that Tim has surpassed him.
	+ ***Investigation:*** Tim's true talent is his genius instinct for forensics. Tim an inspired detective, having been able to deduce the identities of both Bruce and Dick when he was just a young boy. As I mentioned earlier, Batman himself said that Tim may be a better detective than him. Tim is often cited as the most analytic of Batman's proteges, as his detective skills are, at the very least, on par with Batman himself.
	+ ***Computers:*** Tim is well on his way to besting me as our go-to computer savant.
	+ ***Multilingualism:*** Tim speaks over twenty languages as a natural polyglot with a talent for linguistics and encryption. Of the languages I can recall him knowing are English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Korean, Arabic, Kryptonian, Ancient Greek, Themysciran, Latin, Atlantean, Martian, and Thanagarian.
	+ ***Photographic Memory:*** Tim possesses an eidetic memory. Combined with his high level of intelligence, this makes Tim a natural student and self-taught practitioner of many disciplines. He has an in-depth knowledge of the natural sciences, which he puts to use in the crime lab and proved himself to be an expert in the field of genetics when he helped his friend Conner discover his genetic relationship to Lex Luthor. Tim has also studied the behavioral sciences, specifically criminology, and is very well-read and literate.
* **Stealth:** Next to Damian, Tim is probably the stealthiest of the Robins. For added effect to throw his targets off, Tim likes to taunt his targets by using his voice modulator to emit a echoing, taunting laughter as he ducks in and out of shadows.
* **Tactical Analysis:** Even in stressful situations, Tim can analyze an issue and come up with an effective plan in a matter of seconds.
* **Throwing:** Tim is an expert at throwing the modified batarang known as a wing-ding.
* **Strength:** Tim is in prime physical condition for a young man his age and build. He trains constantly with Steph and continually seeks to hone his skills.
* **Red Robin Suit:** A red and black Kevlar suit with black armored gloves and short boots. To conceal his identity, Tim wears a tech-heavy domino mask. For added utility, Tim wears an "X" style strap crossing over his chest, along with a black utility belt, where he stores extra gadgetry. Tim has a pack on his back that can extend or retract specialized red and black wings that can be held rigidly and used for flight or left loose to double as a cape. The material the wings are made of is light and flexible yet strong and sharp, making it able to slice through objects and provide protection from high caliber gunfire. The pack is also able to produce a short burst of propulsion to assist in long distance flight.
* **Tim's Batsuit:** Improvements on the Batsuit include a lighter but stronger armor, leap-assist boot-thrusters, improved batarang compression to allow more room on the utility belt for a more robust forensic kit, holo-display gauntlets (much like the system in his Red Robin suit), and second shape gloves able to assume a clawed form to assist in combat or climbing. Many of these new systems were field-tested in the Batwing prototype suit, succeeding above and beyond our expectations. Tim, Luke, Harper, and myself (the resident tech-heads) couldn’t be happier to see this suit finally being used in the field. We are drooling with excitement imagining what kind of fun toys the suit will have ten years from now.

## Weaknesses

* **Analysis Paralysis:** Tim's over-analytic nature can be used against him if an enemy keeps Tim moving and doesn't give him a chance to regain his composure and time to develop a strategy or plan of attack.
