Biography[]
Batman: Gotham by Gaslight[]
Tim was a boy who, for unspecified reasons, was living on the rough streets of Gotham. Two older boys of similar circumstances named Dickie and Jason had taken him in as a younger brother. Despite his age, Tim was a withdrawn child, displaying more caution and insight than Dickie or Jason. In order to survive, the surrogate family was forced to work as thugs for "Big Bill" Dust, leader of the Outsiders gang. In the middle of robbing a wealthy couple, Tim recalled rumors of a "Batman" who attacked criminals and urged his brothers to retire for the night. Although Dickie assured Tim the Batman was just an urban legend, the subject of their conversation appeared before them. They attempted to attack the vigilante on Big Bill's orders, but were each easily disarmed, and watched as Batman beat Big Bill into submission. To prevent Big Bill from chasing down the brothers, Batman broke the gang leader's leg, and told them to look for refuge at St. Caedwalla's Church, run by Sister Leslie Thompkins.
Dickie, Jason and Tim were safe in Sister Leslie's care for a time, until the woman was murdered by Jack the Ripper. At the funeral, Jason attempted to pick Alfred Pennyworth's pocket, only to be caught. Tim came forward and tried to explain his brother to Alfred. Fortunately, Dickie persuaded the butler to let Jason go. He also gave the boys his business card, offering the opportunity to perform "odd jobs" in exchange for food.
The brothers were called upon by Alfred when his master Bruce Wayne was in prison. They were to drive a wagon carrying a mysterious crate to a seemingly unremarkable back alley. Jason argued they should just steal the horse, wagon and contents of the crate, to which Tim protested it wouldn't be fair when Alfred had fulfilled his end of the deal and provided them with a meal. Dickie told his brothers to stop their chatter and do the job. As they pushed the crate onto the street, Batman suddenly appeared. He thanked the brothers for the job and told them to go.
During the blaze at the Gotham World Fair, Alfred arrived with the brothers in a carriage. Tim watched from Alfred's side in front as Dickie and Jason quickly helped the injured Batman and Selina Kyle in the carriage. Batman asked if the three boys belonged to Alfred. Alfred dismissed the very idea, and told his master they belonged to him.
