Biography

Tim Drake was born to a wealthy Gotham family. The son of Jack Drake, owner of Drake Industries, Tim had pretty much everything he wanted from an early age and quickly demonstrated himself to be an extremely intelligent boy. When he was only nine years old his parents took him to Haly's Circus, where he saw the Flying Graysons perform. Memories of the performance would come back to him years later when he saw Nightwing perform a daring acrobatic stunt, one that only a few people in the world could do, and Tim made the connection: Nightwing was really Dick Grayson.

This realization, in the wake of the death of the current Robin, led Tim to conclude that Batman was actually Bruce Wayne and, more importantly, that Batman needed a Robin to help him maintain his humanity. He sought out Nightwing to try to convince him to take up the mantle once more, but was rebuffed. Shortly thereafter tragedy struck the Drake family. His parents were kidnapped by criminals for ransom. His mother was killed and his father crippled in the attack. At this point, encouraged by Nightwing and Alfred Pennyworth, Batman agreed to take Tim on as his new protege.

Over the next several years Tim became an experienced and skilled young hero. In addition to working closely with Batman and his Gotham allies, Robin joined the Titans and became friends with several of its members. He has faced faced some of the worst criminals in the world and lived to tell the tale.

Now Tim is in college, working toward his bachelors - majoring in business, but taking a lot of classes in engineering and criminology as well. He still puts on his mask and cape at night and defends the streets of Gotham City to the best of his ability. It's an exhausting life, but somebody's got to do it.

Character Details
