Character Backstory

Alfred Pennyworth was the Wayne family's butler for Bruce Wayne's whole life. Following the death of Thomas and Martha Wayne, Alfred became Bruce's primary caretaker, eventually helping him establish his superhero identity of Batman. He helped Bruce build gadgets, and create the Batcave, and as such is one of few people who know Batman's secret identity.

In the first LEGO Batman game, Alfred can be seen in a few cutscenes, and wandering around the Batcave in between levels. After beating any heroes mission, he can be unlocked for use in Free Play mode for 75,000 . He has no special abilities and uses his serving plate as a melee weapon.

In LEGO Batman 2, Alfred is once again a background character, appearing in some cutscenes. He can be unlocked as a bonus character for 125,000 after building his character door, located at the door of Wayne Manor after earning 35 Gold Bricks. He can now use his serving plate to aim at and destroy distant objects.

In LEGO Batman 3, Alfred makes a playable appearance in the second mission 'Breaking Bats' (he is unlocked after beating the level). In this game he can use his serving plate as a shield, and walk through fire unharmed.
