Alfred Pennyworth (Prime Earth)

"*We're criminals, Alfred. We've always been criminals. Nothing's changed."
"Oh, yes it has, sir. Everything's changed. Men fall from the sky, the gods hurl thunderbolts. That's how it starts, sir. The fever, the rage, the feeling of powerlessness that turns good men... cruel.*"
―Bruce and Alfred[src]
**Alfred Thaddeus Crane Pennyworth**, or just simply **Alfred** was the butler, mentor, surrogate father, and close friend of Bruce Wayne. Alfred has served the Wayne family since before Bruce was born, originally serving as the butler of Thomas Wayne. After Bruce was left orphaned from the murder of both of his parents when he was a boy, Alfred watched over him as a parental figure, watching him grow and mature, and assisting him in his quest to become the **Batman**.

He has stood by and support Batman in his life as the vigilante of Gotham City, along with mentoring his adoptive children that Batman trains to fight by his side, up until the Rise of Heroes and the birth of the Justice League.
