Though never proven to be true, it is long believed that the Joker may have been in the original Red Hood gang.
Jason Todd
Jason Todd is the current person to take on the role of the Red Hood and was a former sidekick to Batman as Robin.
Was Batman's sidekick and the second robin but was killed by the Joker (who put him into a house filled with explosives, Batman rushing to his aid but came to late and the house blew up with Jason in it. Later on Ra's al Ghul revived Jason Todd. Bitter and angry with Batman, Jason became the Red Hood and seeked revenge for his own death on Batman.
Then he turned somewhat good as a killing vigilante but answers the calls to the other Robins but not Batman. Batman has always considered the Robin's as family but knowing Jason was revived still doesn't think Jason as family.
