Alfred Dean Pennyworth is the uncle and legal guardian of Bruce Wayne.
History
After his sister and her husband died, Alfred took custody of his nephew, Bruce. However, he was too torn up about Martha's death, and sent Bruce away to Arkham Preparatory School. When Bruce was expelled for defending another student, Alfred came to Gotham to be there for his nephew.
When Bruce was drugged during a kidnapping attempt on him, with Harvey Dent being taken instead due to wearing Bruce's leather jacket, Alfred was there in the hospital and informed him of the ransom demanded. When Harvey was released and his family financially broken, Alfred told his nephew to not feel guilty about what happened, as it was out of his control.
Alfred later agreed, albeit reluctantly, to Bruce's plan to throw an extravagant party at the manor to lure in the kidnappers and hopefully catch them. When Selina Garcia Kyle was taken instead, and the party ended, the police arrived. Alfred arrived with his husband, John Pennyworth, and bribed the officers to leave. When Bruce rescued Selina, who was actually the mastermind who was faking her kidnapping, Alfred and his husband were there to tend to them.
After Selina's plan was revealed and she seemingly committed suicide, Bruce returned to as close to normal life as he could. Alfred was last seen going with him to Die Walküre.[1]
