**Tim Drake** was the former protégé of Batman, taking the alias **Robin,** as he was capable of deducing Batman, Robin, and Nightwing's identity. Although Batman was impressed, it taken convincing for him to accept Tim as Jason's replacement, although would accept Tim as Robin eventually.

While he was Robin, he became Batman for a short while after Batman was killed by Darkseid for a short time, to stop Jason (Revived by the Lazarus Pit) from becoming Batman, and getting rid of criminals lethally. When Dick ran against Jason as Batman, however, Tim would return to Robin, and would soon become Red Robin after Batman returned and claimed Damian Wayne, his blood son, as Robin. Tim then became **Red Robin**, and would fight crime (mostly) solo.

## History

### Childhood

Timothy "Tim" Jackson Drake was the son of Jack and Janet Drake, and would live a very rich and healthy lifestyle.

At a young age, Tim was taken to Haly's Circus at a young age, where he would watch a Flying Graysons Circus Show, and would even meet the youngest of the Flying Graysons, Dick Grayson, as well as being a witness to their assassination, in which Tim or Dick wouldn't forget for the rest of their lives.

Later in his life, Tim would gain access to security footage of Batman and Robin fighting Penguin, and observed Robin's moves, recognizing his moves as those of Dick Grayson's; deducting that Bruce Wayne was Batman, Dick Grayson was Robin, but now Nightwing, and that Jason Todd is the newest Robin.

### Becoming Robin

Upon turning 13, he would notice Jason Todd's death to Joker, and Batman's behavior after it, grieving on his biggest mistake of failing to save Jason. He would go on a mission to reunite Nightwing and Batman, but when Nightwing said no to becoming Robin again, He volunteered. Bruce wouldn't allow it, however.

When Dick and Bruce gotten stuck in Two-Face's trap, Tim donned the Robinsuit, and came to Batman and Robin's aid. After Bruce was saved by Tim, Bruce allowed it, but would only allow it with training.

During training, the Obeah Man kidnapped Tim's parents during their trip to the Carribean. During the kidnapping, his mother would die and his father would be sent into a coma, despite Batman's attempt to help. With his mother now dead, his father needed help from Dana Winters to help him recover.

### Rise of Robin III

Becoming the 3rd Robin after huge amounts of training, and even helping Batman defeat Scarecrow, Tim became Batman's newest sidekick crimefighter, although his training wasn't done.

Tim was sent overseas to continue his training, first Paris, so he could learn from Rahul Lama, a martial arts master. He would also cross pathes with some thugs working for King Snake, who was shadowed by Lady Shiva.

Shiva, Tim, and a man named Clyde Rawlins all teamed up to stop King Snake's heroin trafficking. Upon doing this, they find out it was bigger than a small trafficking area in Paris, and King Snake was currently working on weaponizing the Bubonic Plague.

The Trio travelled to Hong Kong to shut down the operation, and Shiva would continue training with Tim, and would even gain a fighting staff in training. Upon breaking into King Snake's base, Clyde was killed by King Snake. Robin and Shiva managed to defeat the criminal, but refused to kill him when Shiva insisted.

Tim would return to Gotham after the villain was taken out, and began patrolling the city, and was told to call for help if one of the bigger criminals were spotted around the area.
