Histroy:
When Tim Drake was but a very young boy, his family took him for a trip to Haly's Circus. While there he met an older boy, Dick Grayson of the Flying Graysons and even had his picture taken with them. Dick even promised to do a quadruple somersault for Tim, and he did. Soon after, Dick Grayson's parents died.
During the aftermath of the Graysons' deaths, Batman arrived, believed by Tim to be an evil monster at the time, until Batman consoled the orphaned Dick Grayson. That night was burned into Tim's memory as one of the most vivid in his life.
Tim became Batman-obsessive, keeping a scrapbook of every Batman article and feature to be published. Two years later, while watching news footage of the Penguin's defeat by Batman and his new partner Robin, Tim witnessed Robin perform Dick Grayson's quadruple somersault. He knew Robin was Dick Grayson, and soon did a little detective work of his own and discovered Batman's identity as well.
Even more years later, after Dick stopped being Robin and became Nightwing, Jason Todd, the second Robin, was murdered by the Joker. Batman became reckless, and Tim knew what he needed to center him again: Robin.
Tim then began a search for Dick Grayson, ultimately finding him again at Haly's Circus, in order to convince him to retake the Robin mantle. While Dick refused to become Robin again, he agreed to help as Nightwing and the two insinuated themselves on Batman. Leaving Tim with Alfred, to be dealt with later, Batman and Nightwing went off to face Two Face.
But Batman needed Robin, and Tim knew it. With more than a little help from Alfred, Tim donned the Robin guise, and trailed Batman and Nightwing to the home built by Two Face's father. Two Face had blown it up to kill the two heroes. With Tim's help, Batman and Nightwing escaped the destruction, and defeated Two Face. With quite a bit of convincing, and help from Nightwing and Alfred, Tim convinced Batman to train him as the next Robin.
Tim spent the next months learning detective skills, self defense, and anything and everything he could from watching Batman in action. Though the physical was more difficult for Tim, he excelled at the mental studies.
Months later, while Batman was trying to trail Scarecrow, Tim was trying to catch a computer hacking bank thief named Moneyspider. Tim soon caught Moneyspider, revealed to be the teen calling himself Anarky. He then went on, against direct orders, to help Batman bring down Scarecrow. If Tim hadn't disobeyed, Batman and Vicki Vale would have died. That caper ended with Batman officially making Tim Robin, and giving him his costume.
Soon after Robin's accepatance of the uniform, his parents Jack and Janet Drake were kidnapped by a Haitian vauduin known as the Obeah Man. Forbidden by Batman to come along on the rescue (Batman even kept his knowledge of the events secret from Tim, jerk) Tim was at least spared from witnessing the events that occured. The Drakes were badly dehydrated, and on an island surrounded by hot coals. The Obeah Man was planning to sacrifice them. There was a pitcher of water near, and when Batman arrived to rescue them, they drank from the pitcher, unaware of its poisonous contents. Janet Drake died that day, and Jack was left first in a coma, and later temporarily paralyzed from the waist down.
Not long after this tragedy, Robin is sent by Batman to France to learn an ancient Tibetan Martial Art from its last living master, Rahul Lama. From the Lama he learns much, including weeks of study in the human body and ancient healing arts. The Lama, too old for physical training, has a student, Shen Chi who teaches Robin the combat. Supposedly. All said, Shen Chi really just beats on Robin day in and day out, though Robin is learning some moves from him. While under his tutelage, Robin chooses the sling as a weapon to be used in instruction.
The next night Robin goes out for a night at Club Dangerous with Shen Chi. While there he meets a girl named Ling who makes advances at him, and secretly breaks Shen's finger when he tries to step in. While outside with Ling, she is "abducted" by a local gang who take a moment to rough Tim up before taking off. Robin goes back to the Lama's for his danger-suit, and tracks the gang back to their place.
When he arrives, Robin witnesses the beginnings of a beating. Not knowing which side is right, he sides with the underdog, and helps the man, Clyde Rawlins, fight the gang while Lady Shiva looks on from the rafters.
While he and Clyde battle the gang, he urges Ling to run, but she merely stands and looks on. Clyde is sorely wounded, and Robin makes the decision to escape with him while the escaping's good. While they make their escape, the gang is revealed to be backed by Sir Edmund "The Kingsnake" Dorrance, and Ling "Lynx" is revealed as one of the gang. Meanwhile, the French hire Henri Ducard to take down The Kingsnake, and Robin takes Clyde to a rather posh hotel for recovery -- a recovery that is short-lived as Lady Shiva offers her assistance just as a group of Sir Edmund's gang arrive trying to kill Clyde and Tim. With Shiva's aid, they beat the gang again, and escape. Lynx, now in charge, vows to make Robin her gift to Sir Edmund.
Robin next rents a farmhouse while Clyde recovers further. While there, Tim hacks DEA files and learns Clyde is former DEA, Clyde himself reveals that Sir Edmund cost him his wife and two baby girls. The two decide to team up and take the gang (The Ghost Dragons) and Sir Edmund down, and Robin begins learning some street fighting skills from Clyde. Lady Shiva shows up again, reveals she too wants Sir Edmund, for the sheer need of beating him to prove herself stronger. She also reveals Sir Edmund is involved in a man-made version of the Bubonic Plague.
The three head to a lab in Auxille where they confront Lynx and the Ghost Dragons yet again. The three succeed in stopping them from escaping with one container of the plague, but the Dragons still make it away with a second container. The three give chase to Hong Kong, taking a jet to head Lynx's group off.
Robin, Clyde and Shiva track the ghost Dragons from their landing near Sheung Shui to Sir Edmund's lair in Hong Kong. They then go to one of Shiva's friends' estates near Victoria Peak to prepare for the confrontation with The Kingsnake. Meanwhile, he gives Lynx to his servant Bobbo for punishment in failing to kill Robin and Clyde. She loses an eye.
Shiva takes Robin aside for more training, she offers him a gift from her friends' weapon collection, and when he chooses a collapseable staff they have a small confrontation over ethics, and then begins training under Lady Shiva in martial arts. Later, Tim dusts off his British accent to fool a security agency into giving him the schematics of Sir Edmund's security. Over the next week, Robin continues his training, and with a little help from a whistling trick he gives his staff, he gains a pyrrhic victory over Shiva. Meanwhile, Ducart has a run-in with Kingsnake's men.
Individually, Clyde, Shiva and Robin move in on Sir Edmund's stronghold. Clyde is the first to meet Sir Edmund, and he dies for it trying rashly to avenge his lost family with anger his only weapon. Robin, meanwhile, is shutting down the plague weapon, and Edmund's flunky Bobbo. Robin is the next to meet Sir Edmund, and thanks again to his whistling staff, he is able to launch the blind warrior out a window to cling from the scaffolding for his life. Lady Shiva looks on, and urges Robin to be her instrument of Sir Edmund's death. Robin declines, and leaves dragging Clyde's body with him, fully expecting Shiva to kill Sir Edmund. While leaving he encounters Henri Ducart. Ducart reveals the location of Kingsnake's legacy, the cargo of blood money he was shipping ahead of him to Gotham. Tim shuts down the operation, only to find Batman was looking on as he did so. The two have a Kodak moment, and swing off into the night.
