His whole life, Jason felt like he stood in the shadows of others. Being trained by Bruce Wayne as the second Robin, when Dick became Nightwing. Training was difficult for Jason, especially as it led to his inevitable death at the hands of the Joker. Only to be resurrected and continue training away from Gotham; but people who are from Gotham can never stay gone for long, so that was when Jason returned, as the Red Hood. Not a sidekick anymore (even if he still was in the eyes of some), but as a vigilante.
Jason was only a teenager when he first received the name of Red Hood. Or, actually, Red Hood Four at the time. When he received the mask of a deceased Red Hood gang member from a friend, to join the gang's revival after the Zero Year. It was before Batman that he also met Talia al Ghul, who already became interested in Jason when she fought against the new leader of the Red Hood Gang.
The first time Jason ran into Batman was after his father was arrested, for a crime commited by the Penguin. How? Because Jason figured it was a good idea to try and steal the Batmobile. Obviously, this wasn't and Batman caught him. Instead of hurting him, Batman offered Jason some good and gave him a chance; and a conversation Jason would remember for years to come. It was only some time later (after accidentally putting Jason in a school where they trained boys to become criminals), that Bruce officially took Jason in as his new Robin.
Only after six months, Jason went out into the field for the first time. After which, plenty of times followed. Fighting Ra's al Ghul, Two-Face, Killer Croc, the Joker, and more villains. It was not only Batman who trained the new Robin, but also Nightwing who could teach Jason on various martial arts. Which might have added to Jason's behaviour, the kind that Batman did not deemed fit and put him on monitor duty for. But even that, Jason managed to ruin - when he found a picture of his alive birth mother. So he made a trip to the Middle East.
It turned out that it had been the Joker who had set this all in scene and was luring Jason toward his mother. It did not end well - for both Jason and his birth mother, who passed away. Despite that, Jason still had many years to come. As he wasn't even the Red Hood yet at this point. Talia al Ghul found him again (or rather, had never kept her eye of him since Zero Year) and took him to the Lazarus Pit, where Jason's body and mind were restored to full health - or as full as they could be. Jason joined Talia to the All-Caste, where he was trained, until he deemed it finished there. Which lead him back to Gotham, where he got called a villain, the Red Hood. It was an alias he had taken over from the Joker - in order to get revenge on both him and on Batman, but that didn't fully succeed and instead, Jason became a new vigilante.
Then, there were the different teams and groups Red Hood was a part of after his time with Batman. First, training in the All-Caste with Ducra (and falling in love with his daughter, Essence) and then training with the League of Assasins, specifically being trained by Bronze Tiger and lady Shiva.

‣ RED HOOD'S HISTORY
The family Jason grew up in was not exactly perfect. To not go too much into detail, they were the perfect text-book example of a family which was not how it was supposed to be. Throughout that troubled youth, however, Jason did already have a meeting with Dick - through, from far away, when he went to the Circus where Dick was working at the time.Jason was only a teenager when he first received the name of Red Hood. Or, actually, Red Hood Four at the time. When he received the mask of a deceased Red Hood gang member from a friend, to join the gang's revival after the Zero Year. It was before Batman that he also met Talia al Ghul, who already became interested in Jason when she fought against the new leader of the Red Hood Gang.

‣ RED HOOD'S RELATIONSHIPS
Many characters within the DC Universe have been in contact with Jason in one way or another. Whether it was because of his time with Batman, as Robin, or when he started to work for himself as Red Hood - or during his different training periods. Thus, Red Hood is obviously a part of the Batfamily (Batman Family), which includes (but is not limited to): Batman, Alfred, Dick, and all of the Robins after Jason. Afterwards, Jason found himself being a part of the Outlaws, a group he had foudned together with Kori.Then, there were the different teams and groups Red Hood was a part of after his time with Batman. First, training in the All-Caste with Ducra (and falling in love with his daughter, Essence) and then training with the League of Assasins, specifically being trained by Bronze Tiger and lady Shiva.
