Jason Todd

Jason Willis Todd, was the son of drug dealer Willis Todd and drug addict Catherine Todd. After a sudden encounter with Batman, he became the second Robin until his death on April 27, 2017 at the hands of the Joker. Following this he would be revived by the League of Shadows and play a central role in Gotham City's Conquest. Later he would become the vigilante known as Red Hood and would be an occasional ally of the Gotham Knights.

Early Life (2000-2015)
Jason Todd was born and raised in the American State of Connecticut in the notorious Gotham City neighborhood of East End. His father was a small time drug dealer known as Willis Todd who would often also serve as a henchman for Penguin's Gang. His mother, Catherine would contrast his father's street upbringing as she was born into the prestigious military Heywood Family, that include the heroes known as Captain Steel, Commander Steel, and Citizen Steel. Most importantly, he had an older brother named Daniel, who would often defend Jason as a child, and would take most of their father's beatings. In 2006, Jason's father was caught during a robbery by the Batman, leading to his arrest. This would result in his mother seeking alternative drugs, as her husband was no longer supplying her. This would lead to the woman overdosing, and dying in her home beside her two sons.

Afterwards, the boy were taken in by their grandmother, and placed in her school for Wayward Boys. Unfortunately, it turned out that her kind exterior was shielding her rotten interior, as she had begun training the boys in her school to perform crimes for her. Daniel did not want he and his brother to turn out like their father leading to the two boys running away and living on the streets. Nonetheless, the boy needed money, and so Daniel joined the Red Hood Gang, in an attempt to get some money, promising himself to leave Jason out of it. Sadly, his plan would fail, and one night would be killed in a gun fight with the police, leaving Jason alone.

While living on the street, he would one day notice an older woman walking down an alleyway. Needing money for food, he would try to steal her wallet, but the woman would notice and asked him if he wanted to join her for supper. She would bring him to her clinic in Crime Alley, near where he formerly lived, and would be fed and given essential vaccines. As time went on he would visit the woman, and she would grow to be a sort of surrogate mother to him. This would last until one night.

Becoming Robin and the Death in the Family (2015-2017)
One fateful night in 2015, while going to visit Ms. Thompkins, he came across the Batmobile. Seeing an opportunity, he began to steal its wheels, hoping to make a small fortune. Unfortunately, he was caught by the Dark Knight himself. In a sudden moment, not expecting to escape, he ran at Batman with a fist. Batman would stop the boy by asking "Are you hungry". Later, that night the two would eat some burgers from Big Belly Burger. Following that meeting, he would be adopted by billionaire Bruce Wayne.

After being taken in by Bruce Wayne, he quickly figured out that Bruce was Batman, and after little convincing, he would begin to train the 14 year old. After 6 months, he would become the new Boy Wonder, Robin.

As Robin, Jason was quick to get into fights, to the Dark Knight's chagrin. This often lead to Jason disrupting many investigations. Hoping Jason would learn to be a team player, he sent the new sidekick to his former protégé, Nightwing to be a part of his new Teen Titans roster. There he would become good friends with Kid Flash, Speedy, and Wonder Girl, and would often get into trouble alongside them, mostly with Speedy.

After an investigation with Batman, he would learn from the Joker 's new partner, Harley Quinn that his mother was still alive. Against Batman's orders of investigate these claims alone, he would go in search of his mother. After a few hours, he would learn that his mother was a nurse in Qurac. He would seek her out, but upon finding her, he would learn that she did not remember her. At that moment, the Joker would reveal himself and would capture both Catherine and Jason and imprison them within the now abandoned Blackgate Prison in Gotham City. There he would be tortured and eventually, the prison would be blown up killing mother and son. Following this, he would be buried on the Wayne Estate's personal graveyard beside his mother.

Resurrection and Cataclysm (2017-2019)
After a few months of being buried, he would be dug up by the criminal known as Cheshire, and later after a little convincing, his best friend Roy Harper would be aid in digging him up. The duo would take him to the secret city of 'Eth Alth'eban, headquarters of the League of Shadows. There he would be plunged into a Lazarus Pit, and would be brought back to life with no memory of his passed life. Talia al Ghul, the then leader of the League of Shadows and occasional lover of Batman, would take him to Ducra, and ancient instructor of warrior monks known as the All-Chaste. During that time, Jason would begin a relationship with Ducra's daughter Essence.

Following his training with Ducra, learning various martial art forms, as well as learning how to manage his anger, his memories would return. Ducra would try to help Jason let go of his anger, but it was all for not. Unable to let go of his rage, Ducra could no longer keep him amongst the All-Chaste, as a key part of their philosophy is letting go. He would be sent back to Talia and the League of Shadows where he would be trained to use various types of weapons by Bronze Tiger, Deathstroke, and Lady Shiva. During this time he took on the alias known as Red Hood, as a symbol of the man who killed him. During this time he would also meet Bane, who would call him Rojo (Spanish for "red") due to his red helmet. He would also begin a relationship with Talia during this time.

In late 2019, the League of Shadows would put their secret plan in motion. Phase One involved Red Hood taking over Gotham City's criminal underworld as well as revealing himself to Batman as Jason Todd. Phase Two involved Bane freeing the criminals from Arkham Asylum, as well as breaking Batman's back. Phase Three involved Azrael killing whatever criminals that would serve no use in the League of Shadow's future for Gotham. And Phase Four involved destroying any ability of outside forces interfering with their plans (e.g. bridges).

During the League of Shadows' conquest of Gotham, he would reunite with Harper, who would convince him to rejoin Gotham's Knights, after a brief fight, Jason would agree, and the duo would go after Talia. They would follow her to her yacht where they would cause an explosion sending them into Atlantic Ocean.

A few days later, the two would find themselves on an island in the Caribbean being nurse back to health by an orange figure.
