History: Growing up around drunks his whole life Alfie enjoyed the pub atmosphere and even got a little drunk off the fumes, he was sometimes even offered alcohol and since he was young and didn’t know any better he drank it and developed a taste for it at the early age of 5. Alfie’s father took him to the pub often but his mother didn’t agree and wanted him to learn to become a world famous cook.
Alfie’s family was middle class and his mother paid for him to have cooking classes but he seemed to take after his dad by following him to the pub the whole time as he enjoyed the lively atmosphere. At the age of 16 Alfie showed great skills in cooking which surpassed his mother’s and she grew proud of him, until his father took him to the pub to celebrate, Alfie enjoyed the celebration and got drunk that night thanks to his father when he returned home his mother was furious and kicked him out of the house for the night. Alfie spent the night sleeping on the door step and was woken up by a dog urinating on him.
Two years later Alfie managed to surpass his cooking teacher’s skills and he quit the cooking class. His mother was still proud of his skills as a cook but didn’t like the drinking. Alfie became a regular at the pub and one night was asked to cook for them as their cook was off sick, Alfie happily agreed to cook for them despite the fact that he was drunk, but he managed to make some pretty tasty meals which no one complained about. The pub was run by an old man who had a drinking problem and asked Alfie if he would run the pub when he passed away. Alfie nodded agreeing to look after it, thats when the old man led Alfie to a room underneath the floor boards, Alfie was shown how to brew beer. Shortly after the man passed away and Alfie and his father attended the funeral Alfie’s mother tried to get Alfie to apply for a job as a cook in a posh high class restaurant but he refused as he had made a promise to the old man and took over the pub. Alfie made a great living working at the pub and managed to earn allot of money working their too. He spent the days when things were slow brewing the beer and the night serving and cooking when there were no other people around to help him serve.
Alfie moved out from his parents home as he was easily making more than enough money then invited his mother to the pub so she could see how nice it was at the pub. His mother turned up that night and saw Alfie working his arse off serving and cooking but when she tried his food and the first beer he brewed she enjoyed it and hugged him and told him she wanted him to keep doing what he was doing because it made him happy. Alfie continued working there for many years to come until it was attacked.
One night when Alfie was covering all the jobs in the pub known as the Blunt Knife some bandits raided the pub and held everyone hostage. Alfie was too busy in the back cooking so he wasn’t noticed until he came out to serve food. Alfie smashed the plates over the bandits heads and even smashed a few bottles, Alfie was used to fighting in the pub as he had been in a few brawls when he was younger at the pub. After beating up the majority of the bandits Alfie began cleaning up but was attacked by the leader from behind. Alfie had a knife put his neck and when he tried to free himself the bandit’s knife sunk into his neck as Alfie tried to throw the bandit off of him the knife sliced down his neck tearing his clothes and down his chest a little bit. Alfie felt faint but wasn’t ready to give up on fighting these bandits and turned to attack the bandit but fell to the floor unconscious due to loss of blood.
Alfie was rushed the nearest hospital where they managed to save his life, Alfie didn’t like being out of work but he was thankful that the patrons of his pub took down the bandit leader when they saw what he done to Alfie. When he left hospital all patched up and feeling better he went to see his pub was burnt to the ground. He was told by his father that bandits returned and set it on fire in retaliation. Alfie was angry and spent the next few days drinking heavily as he had lost his business and lost the pub which he promised to look after, he didn’t speak to anyone for 3 days and sat watching ships come and go from the docks. In those 3 days of non stop drinking Alfie’s body built up a resistance to the alcohol taking a toll on his hand eye coordination and Alfie’s brain hatched an idea, with all the money he had made from the original pub he would build another one only this time it wouldn’t just be a pub, it would also be a ship. Alfie paid for the ship to be made and said his farewells to his family as he set off to serve people all around the world and collect a crew/ staff that would help him fend off against enemies and help him serve or make the food and drinks.
Personality: Alfie loves being helpful and loves to wear smart clothes; he enjoys social gatherings and is a hard worker when it comes to pleasing people. Alfie doesn’t like to disappoint people and hates being threatened and will often throw people out of the pub with his bare hands if his friends or family are treated badly. He loves to have a quick drink of his own every now and then and is a cheeky cheery guy who doesn’t always know when to shut his mouth. Alfie is a drunk at heart but a loveable drunk who most people seem to show a liking to, as he is often described to be like a hyper active puppy when drunk.
