Alfred Pennyworth is a minor character in the T.V. series Harley Quinn and is the butler and father-figure of Bruce Wayne.
When Batman could not fight crime, Alfred created a superhero persona known as the Macaroni to keep crime at bay. The Macaroni dresses in Georgian-era gentlemen's clothes and wears a hi-tech wig that sprouts a sword, shield, and guns. He later teamed up with Batgirl to save Batman.

Background[]
Alfred Pennyworth was born in England, where he served in the navy during his youth. At some point, he came to Gotham City, where for many years, he worked as the live-in Butler to the wealthy Wayne family at Wayne Manor. When a young Bruce Wayne's parents were murdered, Alfred continued taking care of him and raised him as his own.

- Main article: There's No Ivy in Team
Alfred came to meet Nightwing at the bus station when he arrived in Gotham City from Blüdhaven. However, their car was stolen by Harley and Ivy, who came on the same bus, so they were forced to take a taxi instead. Later, he joins the Batfamily to fight Firefly, who is burning down the Old Gotham Corn Factory, and gives Nightwing a ride on his penny-farthing bicycle, which Nightwing is less than thrilled about. At the scene, the group was watching from afar while Batman told them his plan when suddenly they noticed Nightwing had gone ahead and confronted Firefly without them, ruining their plan and causing a fight to break out. Alfred helped Robin and Batman get buckets of water to put out the fire whilst Nightwing and Batgirl both went after Firefly simultaneously, causing them to swing right into each other, allowing Firefly to escape. But not before setting more fire to the factory, causing the corn inside to pop and covering the Batfamily in a sea of popcorn.
Macaroni's new ride
Following that disaster, Batgirl decided they needed to work on their teamwork and signed the Batfamily up for an escape room to build camaraderie. However, they soon discovered it was a death trap set up by the Riddler, and they needed to solve it within a time limit to be let out. The rooms soon shifted, trapping Batgirl and Nightwing in different side rooms while the rest of the team got stuck with Harley's Crew, who were there for a similar reason. They search the room for the solution, and Alfred plays the flute sadly as their odds become slim. However, Batman eventually solves the puzzle, and the Batfamily returns to the Batcave before going out on another mission with Alfred again, giving Nightwing a ride, this time in a helicopter.
