Alfred Pennyworth

At a young age, Alfred Pennyworth had become a well-known stage actor in England, a role he sporadically reprised. Soon after, Pennyworth became an intelligence agent for the British Government. Afterwards, Alfred acted as a war medic, becoming a very skilled surgeon. During this time, he had a marriage and a daughter, Julia. The marriage was not a success and Alfred divorced his wife. Upon the death of his father, Alfred took a calmer and casual role as the butler of the Wayne Family in Gotham City as his father had wished. Although he attempted to maintain contact with his daughter through the years, she wanted nothing to do with him. 
After the deaths of Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne, Alfred was left to deal with and raise the ten-year-old Bruce Wayne. Alfred came to love Bruce as he would his own son. Bruce eventually left Gotham, leaving Wayne Manor and Wayne Enterprises in Alfred's control, to study abroad. During this time, Alfred faced several threats in the way of the Kane Family.
Eventually Bruce went missing and was declared dead, though Alfred did not stop believing. Alfred's suspicions proved to be true as Bruce eventually did return, only to inform Alfred his plans for vigilantism. Despite Alfred's pleas, Bruce refused to "return from the dead" or even inhabit Wayne Manor, instead living in a brownstone at Crime Alley. Despite his disapproval, Alfred continued to support Bruce until the two had a fight, resulting in Pennyworth promptly returning to Wayne Manor. Soon after, a bloody and injured Bruce crawled up to the Manor, resulting in a worrisome Alfred patching him up and making amends after Bruce had woken up. When Bruce decided on becoming the Batman did Alfred relent, as Bruce's new vigilante tactics proved to be more useful against criminals. Bruce returned to Wayne manor and Alfred continued the job of the family Butler.
