Alfred Pennyworth is a recurring character of the Dark Outlaws series. After a varied career, was employed as the Wayne family's butler when Bruce Wayne's parents were killed. Alfred raised the young orphan and reluctantly aided him in his quest to become the 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 Bruce Wayne's true identity. Alfred has shown that he cares for Bruce as his own son, one sign of this love being Batman's ally. Alfred stayed with him without hesitation and continued to aid him in his war.
