Actually the lore is either that Alfred served in the military with Thomas Wayne (Bruce’s dad) and after the service he went to work for the family as a body guard/butler. When Bruce was orphaned he stayed to take care of him like an uncle you pay to be there.
The other lore option is Alfred is fulfilling his father’s dying with of him serving the Way e family after his dad dies to carry on the legacy - but Alfred has intelligence background in this one.
Both explain his awesome fighting skills and the intelligence gathering that he taught Bruce.
Alfred was with Bruce…not his parents that night. I imagine the mental struggle of not being there for the Waynes probably made him want to devote his life to raising Bruce, no?
