Personality: Tim from this story has a questionable moral compass as his sole priority is to survive so his personality is a lot different from how you guys see him in canon.

The prominent personality facts about him are as follows:

• He looks a lot like his mom Janet and is evidently more attached to her too. He was devastated after he learned that Janet died on the trip but Jack survived and had gone into a comatose state.

• He genuinely believes that his parents are the only people he can count on and that whatever they did, they were doing it for his benefit.

• As a result, he values his parents a lot and can go to any lengths to prove that he is worthy. He is very devoted to them and considers it his responsibility to look after his father's company in his absence.

• But with Drake Corporate going bankrupt and the other business partners seizing power, he has to turn to an unexpected yet formidable investor. Making a deal with that investor comes with a heavy price that he will have to pay later. 

• In order to save the company, Tim had to make several such deals that resulted in him getting entangled in a web of conspiracies and politics. Most people believe that he can be easily exploited as he is just a teenager but this said teenager has a few tricks up his sleeve too that will come in handy to save himself.

• I know the previous sentence was cryptic so I will elaborate here. Tim is an excellent strategist as his father taught him a lot from an early age. He knows how to deal with matters of business and politics but intentionally keeps the front of an innocent befuddled teenager thrown into the practical life too young.

• Tim has a habit of playing safe. No matter how reckless his decisions may seem at first glance, he always has a backup plan and an escape route for himself.

• He's the sort of character who could probably survive the Hunger Games or an apocalypse even based on strategy and not fighting skill.

• But of course that doesn't mean this Tim is perfect and cunning, he has his shortcomings that arise mainly from a lack of emotional attachment, neglect during childhood, the incessant need to be a people pleaser and the list can possibly go on forever.

• Also, most of you will be still wondering about the Stephanie situation but fret not, it will all be revealed in the story itself. All I can say for now is that Steph is his best friend and close confidante but she too is unaware of what he does or intends to do to keep his father's legacy intact.

• This Tim has a very cold and detached demeanor. He's not creepy (unlike Diabolical Tim) but he definitely has the sort of personality that makes him stay isolated.

• He is highly competitive and dangerous when it comes to executing his targets. He won't let anyone else succeed if he has set his eyes on the prize. And of course, he is not as morally oriented towards the good side as we see him in canon (I guess the long-term association with a very well-known DC villain has had that impact on him).

Origin story: (does not follow canon storyline).

The major difference in this story is that Tim does not get adopted by Bruce and as a result, he does not get involved with their vigilante life. Instead, he inherits Drake Corporate and becomes the CEO as Jack Drake can not resume that post. This story focuses on Tim's struggles in trying to keep his company afloat and navigating through the dangerous crime world of Gotham without any mentor or guidance.
