Well I have a big doubt, In the Red Robin comic says something about "Alvin Draper" I looked for it here and it says that is an alias that he have. In the comic says too that Draper was an art-thief

What the hell is that?!? Can somebody explain me this?!? Please???

Alvin Draper is an art-thief because Tim stole a piece from a museum as evidence in the early issues of Red Robin. He was using Alvin Draper as an alias when he entered and left the country, and so he was a suspect because of the speed of his arrival and departure.

He first uses the alias, as far as I know, in the early Robin comics, when he signs up for a summer camp that he thinks is getting kids involved in some illicit stuff. At least, that's the earliest use of it I can think of. He uses it again when he helps Steph out, since he can't give her his real name (or even show his real face). The other instance I can think of it showing up is him using it as an alias when he visits Jason in prison.

@RedOwl_1: Alvin Draper was first used when he went on his first undercover mission that transportive talks about. He has since used it has his cover name for everything else. Young Justice is originally introduced with that name as is Stephanie Brown. When he is captured and fingerprinted his records come up as Alvin Draper.

Tim is so good at keeping his secret identity that the only one that knows who he really is was Batman until Batman tells everyone which ticks Tim off. Tim had held that he knew everyone else's secrets over their heads for quite a while and there are some great exchanges between Oracle and Tim both before and after Batman tells her.

Also Bart, in Young Justice, does find out his real name but thinks it is a stupid name so doesn't believe it's his real name and continues to use the cover name of Alvin Draper.

Young Justice is stand alone, but the origin stories of Impulse, Robin III and Superboy might be a good prologue

Tim Drake

As a young boy, Tim Drake cleverly deduced the identity of Batman. After the death of Jason Todd, Tim convinced Batman that he should be the new Robin. Eventually resigning as Robin, he is now Red Robin, the leader of the Teen Titans.
