History[]
Nothing much is known about Alfred's history, other than the fact he served 10 years in the SAS for the British Government alongside Bazza and Dave Boy and Spanish. Flashbacks of his time in the military still plague him.
10 years prior to Rhyme 'N' Reason Alfred and Dave boy were part of the troops in Rabat Morocco. Going to a first floor bedroom on the south side. Splitting up into 2 groups, 2 each, they went in, to secure the package. A man inside pointed the room out. Calls out to wait, having been promised money and a passport. Alfred answers it's above his pay grade. Knocks the guy to take suspicion off. Dave boy grabbed the package, some other man with a sack on his head. Taking who they were ordered to grab to a meeting point, hands him off the MI6 agents. While that man calls back to them, they are making a mistake. He has a wife and a daughter.
Stationed somewhere else Alfred kills one guy. He next encounters a boy. Knowing the enemy was deploying kids, didn't expect the boy to be so young. While in Don't Push It the Psychic fence got ahold of that memory from his past. Triggering traumatic memories,
Throughout Pennyworth Series[]
Forming Pennyworth Security[]
After his departure from the SAS, Alfred, aspiring to be his own man and build an empire, formed his own security business, Pennyworth Security. Alfred began by working with small clubs on the door, however, his reach expanded after meeting Thomas Wayne in Pilot, who offered him a security contract, much to his delight. Pennyworth, however, declined, instead deciding to freelance.
Through Pennyworth Security, Alfred has become known to the infamous Raven Society, run by Lord Harwood. Tensions began to rise after the kidnapping of his girlfriend, Esme Winikus, by Raven Society member Bet Sykes, and was one of the reasons he declined to work with Thomas Wayne in the future.
Relationship with Esme Winikus[]
Alfred first met Esme while working as security of a downtown club in London where Esme was dancing in Pilot. Alfred approached Esme and asked if he could take her out the following day, to which she agreed. The relationship between the two grew as the two became closer, leading to Alfred eventually asking Esme to marry him in The Landlord's Daughter. Esme agreed and the two planned to marry, however complications arose in Martha Kane as Esme's father Evelyn Winikus declined to bless the marriage — promising to disinherit Esme if the two were to marry, an ordeal which led to Esme handing back Alfred's ring.
With the marriage called off, Esme planned to move away to pursue a dancing and acting career, however Alfred, realizing his loss, rented an apartment for the two using money acquired from his business deal with Martha Kane and the No Name League. The two eventually fixed their differences and Esme accepted Alfred's hand in marriage once again.
Avenging Esme[]
Alfred's relationship with Esme is short-lived, when she is killed by Captain Curzon — his old captain from his army days — in retaliation for publicly humiliating him previously. Alfred is sent into a long grieving period and a hunt to find out who is responsible. He works closely with John Ripper to find out the suspect and further asks for Aziz's help to track him down. When he finally comes face-to-face with Curzon, he shows no emotion when killing him and Mrs Pike, but is unwilling to allow Bet Sykes to torture him, who is also suffering from the grief of loosing Esme. In retaliation for this, Alfred is arrested by Aziz and sentenced to seven years in prison.
Aiding the Queen[]
With his future at risk following his incarceration, Alfred strikes a deal with Aziz to assassinate Harwood and save the government. Alfred takes the deal, but is unwilling to follow through with the killing of the No Name agents when he realizes they are Martha Kane and Thomas Wayne. Fearing that he may be arrested for deviating from the deal, Alfred hatches a plan to flee the country for New Orleans.
With all ways out of the country halted thanks to the Raven Society and the kidnapping of The Queen, Alfred sees an opportunity to save the Queen and clear his name. With the help of Martha and Thomas, he is able to save the Queen from Bet, Peggy and Mrs Spicer and Mrs Spicer. Thus pardoned from his incarceration, but takes the opportunity to sleep with the Queen. When he learns of his father's involvement with the Raven Society and fearing the Queen's safety, Alfred again launches a plan to save the Queen. He arrives at the cabinet dinner at Sir Francis Tewkes's house to find his father, Arthur, threatening the cabinet with an explosive. He unfortunately has to shoot his father, but the explosives detonate anyway. Alfred is able to carry the Queen from the fire to safety.
