## History

### Early Life

Alfred grew up in England, born as Alfred Beagle. There he joined the army as a field medic when he became of age. Alfred retired early and decided to become an actor. He never became a big name in the acting world, but still made a couple of notable appearances in classics such as *The Grey Ghost* and *Silverblade*. After acting he then lent his services to many organizations such as MI5 and MI7, where he taught young soldiers. After his mission ended Alfred was forced to retire and made his way to the United States of America. When he arrived he decided to legally change his name to Alfred Pennyworth and decided to make his father proud by continuing the family legacy and becoming a butler.

### Wayne Family Butler

Alfred became the butler to the Wayne Family. At the time it was just Dr. Thomas Wayne and his wife Martha Wayne. He had the pleasure of watching young Bruce Wayne be born and grow into the man he is today. After the Wayne murder, Alfred, became the sole guardian of Bruce Wayne and a surrogate father. He helped raise and train Bruce in many forms of self-defense when he was young.

### Batman, Inc.

As a member of Batman, Inc. Alfred takes on more of a support role. He aides in many fields, such as medical, gadgetry, and combat. He's adopted the code-name Penny-One and The Eagle, which is the name Oracle mainly refers to him as since it was his call-sign in the Marines. He's become an irreplaceable asset as well as an irreplaceable member of the family. He's now become a surrogate grandfather to four grandsons and two granddaughters. Alfred has said time-and-time again that he wouldn't trade his dangerous and unpredictable life for anything in the world.
