Appearance: Picture

History: Wiki Plus, once he remembers, he'll have around three years of memories in Duplicity. He will remember being brought in during the Fort Harmony event. This experience has colored his continued memories of the city. He will remember finding family and learning how his current actions at home will shape his future. He will fight on the Creator's side during the Dark War but turn against the Creator when he feels he's been slighted after a very important disappearance. He'll end up in trouble with the authorities a few times during past events where he turns violent. He also fell in love with a fellow dominant. A relationship kept on the deep deep down low until that person's disappearance.

In general, he mostly keeps his head down working at his place of business. He inherited Honestea and Guiltea and works tirelessly to ensure its success so he can spoil his submissives.

Personality:
Negative
• Enabler
“That's right, he did. He tried to kill you. Just you remember that the next time you see him. And you remember that I let him try.”
If all of Alfred's negatives, being an enabler is his biggest flaw. He bends over backwards to assist Bruce in pretty much every crazy thing he’s ever done. While he might express his displeasure at it, that won’t stop him from turning right around and helping him. When Bruce finds the door hidden behind his father’s bookshelf and decides to make explosives, it’s Alfred that comes in and helps make them correctly. When Bruce is picked on at school, it’s Alfred that brings Bruce to beat the crap out of the kid. When Bruce asks to learn how to fight, it’s Alfred that trains him. He’s always been there and always bows to the whims of the boy that he’s supposed to be raising. His enabling is so bad that he literally allows Bruce to kill him. He tells a mind controlled Bruce that if this (“this” being stabbing Alfred in the chest and killing him) is what he “needs to do” he can just “crack on”.

This has continued into the city of Duplicity. Alfred has helped far too many people he shouldn't have. He's killed for Westley. He knew almost every about Hannibal's past and still grew deeply close to him and even assisted in some of his activities. He's given money and attention to Roman, even though the man is obviously terrible. He does whatever Qu'ra needs without question, regardless of how shady it might be. He is aware of the multiple super heroes in the city and makes his home available to them whenever they need. He wants to help and he wants the people he cares about succeed. He's willing to do whatever it takes to see them successful.

• Violent
“Take one more step, mate, and I will put a bullet right between your bloody eyes.”
For all that Alfred lauds Bruce's decision not to kill, he personally relies on violence far too often. He doesn't explode in anger. Instead he is usually terribly calm and collected about how he fights. To him, violence is a tool like any other. It's a tool he's been trained to use and use well. He reacts to threats with his own threats, such as when he calmly tells Tabitha he’ll disappear her if she so much as touches Bruce. When Bruce Wayne goes missing, he dangles Hugo Strange off the side of a building by his tie while interrogating him. He stabs a woman through the hand while in she's in police custody. He punches Jeremiah Valeska to the point where he nearly kills him, and while he does stop, he does admit later that he “should have killed him when I had the chance”.

This tendency towards violence when he feels he or those he protects are in danger has definitely followed him into the city. When he was killed during the gang wars, he went after the small gang that did it. He and Hannibal killed quite a number out of revenge. A more current example was when the sewer creatures were hatched and brainwashed citizens into thinking they were family that needed raising. Alfred, being a man so dedicated to family, got very very protective of his creature. He fought like hell when the scientists came to take it away from him ending him with a very long period of punishment.

• Workaholic
"Butler ​mate. I'm a butler.”
Alfred Pennyworth defines himself by his work. He desperately presents to the world the image of the perfect gentleman's gentleman. There’s no task too small or strange for him. He puts his everything into his job to the point that it's almost everything to him. A lot of this likely stems from the fact that he's far from actually being what many would consider "Butler Material". He was picked up out of a police station and was offered a job protecting Thomas Wayne and his family while pretending to be the butler. In the novel tie-ins, Thomas insists that Alfred is their "secret weapon". However he has taken the role deeply seriously and works tirelessly around the clock to ensure the family, and later Bruce, are well cared for. He may not have started as a butler, but by God he's going to be the very best one in the world. He works tirelessly to be so.

He is awake before Bruce to provide perfectly cooked breakfasts, drives the boy to his school or assists with work. He then would likely clean house, do laundry, and perform a million little domestic tasks to run a huge household by himself. He cooks lunches and dinners. He sees to all of the Wayne's affairs. He assists the Police and watches over Bruce. He is up late into the evening, still working, making sure Bruce has backup or waiting to take care of him when he gets back into the house after being out all evening. Even after Alfred admits that Bruce is getting old enough not to need him anymore, he says he's still going to do as he's always done and stand guard. His young master may not need him but he clearly needs the focus of his job. When Bruce fires him in an earlier season, Alfred falls into a deep depressive funk. This is not simply due to the betrayal he feels but also because he's suddenly stripped of what's been his life's purpose. As soon as he's apologized to, he immediately goes back to work. Even with the city of Gotham falling down around them into No Man's Land, Alfred is always one step behind Bruce, working tirelessly to keep the boy safe.

This tendency to stay overly busy has followed him into Duplicity. During his time in the city, his life has been continually overbooked. He opens his Teashop in the morning, runs the kitchens at Haven through the afternoon, goes back to open the Guiltea side of the business, where he tends bar. This is while also doing favors and looking after his family, friends, and submissives. At one point, one of his punishments was not being allowed to do any work at all. It drove him crazy to see other people doing his work for him.

Positive
• Loyal
“Bruce's father gave me very firm orders was him and his missus to die. Now, I will raise the boy the way his father told me to raise him.”
There is no man more loyal in Gotham City than Alfred Pennyworth. His loyalty was first to Thomas Wayne. While we don’t know much about what all went down there, we are told by Alfred that Thomas “saved him” from the pretty dismal life he’d been leading. He claims he owes the man everything. He owes him much so that even after his death, Alfred is still following the man’s final order. But his initial loyalty to Thomas has transferred to a powerful one for Bruce. Alfred recalls the first day the boy was brought home and he got to hold him. On that day, the man swore to himself that he would do anything for the kid. He would (and did) die for him. Everything he does, he does for Bruce. Even when the boy is being an utterly ungrateful brat, he’s right there, supporting him. He will always be there, for as long as he lives. Even in the Epilogue, we see Alfred loyally seeing to the business of a Wayne gone from the city for ten years. Even left behind, Alfred looks after Bruce's affairs. When the boy, now a man, returns, he starts protecting the identity of the newly caped Batman.

In the city, Alfred's loyalty still knows no bounds. If he is told a secret, he will keep it. Though others know the secret identities of his family members, Alfred refuses to out them. If asked, he acts as if he knows nothing about it. He's also deeply loyal to Qu'ra, and would never give up what he knows about her. He would do anything for his family with no questions asked and he will never, never, sell them out. When Hannibal was in the city, Alfred would have gone to jail or died rather than see the man get into any sort of trouble. To those Alfred cares for, there is no man more steadfast in his loyalty to them.
