    Was he working for British intelligence back then?

    In most iterations, yes. Afred is almost always an ex-British intelligence agent.

    Why would he go from that to being a butler for some billionaire?

    Working for billionaires -> Working for a billionaire (who is probably the richest on Earth).

      Huh, I guess I never paid much attention to Batman lore. That certainly adds a creepier angle to it, if Alfred is there to keep tabs or even to subtly influence what they’re doing with their wealth.
