Tim was orphaned at the age of 13 when his father, Jack Drake, an archeologist was killed during when a chamber of an archelogical dig collapsed on him. With no other family able to take him in he was placed in the Gotham City Boys Orphanage. It was there that he met and befriended John Blake, and the two quickly developed a sort of brotherly bond. At the age of sixteen, now living in Wayne Manor with the rest of the boys of the Orphanage Tim was kicked out when Tommy Elliot, posing as Bruce Wayne took back Wayne Manor claiming it for himself. This caused the return of Bruce, Selina, and their daughter Helena to Gotham and Bruce taking back his family home. With the Waynes now once again residing within Wayne Manor, and the Boys home also calling it home Bruce decided to have a seperate home for the boys to be built on the grounds of Wayne Manor, though allowing the boys to still have access to the Manor. Bruce, who saw something in Tim, and out of respect decided to adopt Tim, though he would act as a surogate father/ brother figure to most of the boys Tim is the only boy to be adopted by Bruce. One night while he was looking for Blake, who also resides within the Manor, he follows him into the study and discovers him entering the cave and follows him. He pleads with Blake to allow him to help, and soon Blake relents and speaks to Bruce on the matter who agrees, though sets the condition that Tim is not allowed to go out into Gotham until he has been trained and he believes he is ready. Tim takes the name Robin, out of respect for his friend and brother Robin John Blake. Realizing that he had outgrown the role of Robin and that soon Helena may be taking the role Tim decided to take on a new identity. He choose to in some way keep the name of Robin, as the name still meant much to him and greatly defined who he was. He choose to become Red Robin.
