History
Alfred Thaddeus Crane Pennyworth is Bruce Wayne's butler at Wayne Manor. He knows that Bruce is secretly Batman and aids him. Alfred Pennyworth, after a varied career, was employed as the Wayne family butler when Bruce Wayne's parents were killed. Alfred raised the young orphan and reluctantly aided him in his quest to become Batman. His many skills--ranging from cooking to medicine--make him Batman's staunchest ally, along with a formal demeanor that grounds the Dark Knight and deflects those who might otherwise suspect Batman's true identity.While not as skilled at hand-to-hand combat as Bruce Wayne, Alfred is nearly as resourceful. In Batman: Gotham Adventures 16 has him kidnapped, only to readily escape and overcome his captors without even mussing his suit. It is later mentioned that he has overcome 27 unsuccessful kidnapping attempts.
He is the only member of the Batman Family that is allowed by Bruce Wayne to own a firearm.
Like most of the Earth-One Batman Family members, Pennyworth never met Beagle though did meet with the Earth-Two Huntress and Earth-Two Grayson who mentioned Beagle to Pennyworth.
Alfred has been an actor in Britain's Theater.
"What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving, how express and admirable in action, how like an angel in apprehension, how like a god!" from William Shakespeare's Hamlet.
