Alfred Pennyworth (Earth-5180)

"You are as precious to me as you were to your own mother and father. You are my son, Bruce. I swore to them that I would protect you, and I haven't. I never wanted you to come back to Gotham. I always knew there was nothing for you here, except pain and tragedy. And I wanted something more for you than that. I still do. Until the end of my life."

- - Alfred Pennyworth

Alfred Pennyworth is the loyal butler, friend, protector and foster father of Bruce Wayne after the death of his parents at the hands of Joe Chill. Alfred rose up to become a promising actor until he accepted Thomas Wayne's proposal of serving as a butler and confidant for him among the Wayne family. Since their deaths, Alfred took upon aiding Bruce, even when it meant covering and helping him into fighting crime as the vigilante Batman, though he despised the idea, worrying for his son's life each night he acts. Even then, Alfred still serves alongside Batman until this day, against all odds.
