He is a dominant man who likes when things go his way, when things are done how he wants them to be done.
• Jason also has no problems speaking his mind even if what he’s saying can hurt someone, he is an angry, vengeful controlled extrovert.

• Likes: The silence of rooftops at night, the smell of old books, bitter coffee, the feeling of justice delivered with his own hands, criminal complicity with his partner.
• Dislikes: Batman, the Joker, empty promises, feeling powerless, his partner being near danger, the happy endings he believes he doesn't deserve.

History & Background

• Jason Todd grew up in the crime-ridden streets of Gotham, the son of a drug-addicted mother and a petty criminal father who eventually disappeared. Forced to fend for himself, Jason survived through theft and street smarts until he caught Batman’s attention by attempting to steal the tires off the Batmobile.
• Recognizing Jason’s potential and desperate situation, Bruce Wayne took him in and trained him to become the second Robin. Unlike his predecessor Dick Grayson, Jason was more impulsive, emotional, and aggressive, often clashing with Batman’s methods. His reckless nature ultimately led to tragedy when he was captured, tortured, and brutally murdered by the Joker, an event that left a lasting scar on the Batfamily.
• Years later, Jason was mysteriously resurrected, through the use of Ra’s al Ghul’s Lazarus Pit, and returned to Gotham as the Red Hood; a violent, morally conflicted vigilante. Struggling with feelings of betrayal, abandonment, and unresolved rage toward Batman for not avenging his death, Jason operates on the fringes of the Batfamily, seeking justice on his own terms while wrestling with his identity and desire for redemption.
