| “ | You're a hunter, aren't you ? I knew it. That's precisely how I started out ! Oh, beg pardon, you may call me Alfred. Protege of Master Logarius, hunter of Vilebloods. So, what say you ? Our prey might differ, but we are hunters, the both of us. Why not cooperate, and discuss the things we've learned? | „ |

Summary
Alfred is a member of the Executioners, an order of hunters affiliated with the Healing Church. He is on a mission to assassinate the Vileblood Queen Annalise and free the Executioners' former leader, Martyr Logarius, from eternal stewardship of the castle's seal. If you give him the Unopened Summons found in the Cainhurst throne room he will travel to the castle and finish what his master started by pummeling the queen into pulp with his Logarius' Wheel. With the remains of the queen still on him he laughs jubilantly and is seemingly unhinged. Afterwards, he will thank you for your assistance and leave Cainhurst. He is next found dead at the altar where you first met him.

Intelligence: Gifted (Alfred is gifted both in the conventional and combat sense. Conventionally, he is a veritable fountain of knowledge in regards to information about Yharnam, the Healing Church and its founding and blood ministration practices, the histories of Byrgenwerth, and the history of Logarius and the Vilebloods. In addition, having started his career in Yharnam as a hunter for the Healing Church before converting to the Executioners after becoming enamored with their ideals, Alfred is highly skilled. Combat-wise he is a highly skilled fighter as all hunters are, displaying the ability to wield the fairly normal Kirkhammer and the highly nontraditional Logarius Wheel to an equally lethal degree, and can do so while wearing the Gold Ardeo, which fully obstructs his field of view, without any loss in combat efficiency.)
Weaknesses: None notable
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Rally: A core mechanic of a hunter's fighting style, the ability to heal for part or all of the damage taken from a recent attack by retaliating with their own attacks. This allows a hunter to use an offense-centric, high risk/high reward style of combat, giving them the ability to sustain themselves by constantly attacking and counterattacking the enemy. However, this ability requires the opponent to be biological in some manner, as it is done in part by 'bathing in the opponent's blood' and does not work on inanimate targets or spirits[4].
- Visceral Attack: A unique and brutal technique in a hunter's fighting style, using a firearm or projectile Hunter Tool such as the Blackskye Eye or Augur of Ebrietas to parry an incoming attack, The Hunter briefly staggers the opponent, leaving them open for The Hunter to drive their hand into the opponent's torso or skull and tear out large chunks of their organs, dealing a large amount of damage. This can also be used on an unsuspecting enemy, hitting them with a fully charged heavy melee attack to stagger them in the same way[6].
- Blood Bullets: A technique used by hunters as a means of conserving or creating ammunition for firearms in place of Quicksilver Bullets. Using their own blood as a substitute, a hunter is able to create a seemingly limitless number of Blood Bullets so long as their vitality holds out[2].
