In The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, as Smaug starts attacking the town, Alfrid, the Master and some of the Master's guards attempt to flee the city by a small boat which they fill with as much gold as they can without bothering to help any of the other citizens of Lake-town. Later, when Bard told his son Bain to hide the Black Arrow to use it later when the dragon arrives, Alfrid helps the guards by tripping Bard, and with the assistance of the Master knocking him unconscious with a wooden plank, they then lock him away in the prison.
The Master reluctantly agrees, in order to have his greedy hands on the share, and Alfrid felt the same way. He was later present when the Dwarves were caught stealing weapons and then persuaded the Master that the town would have a share of the treasure if they took back the Lonely Mountain from the dragon Smaug. Later on, Alfrid warns the Master about Bard's rebellious attitude against him, and is ordered to send spies to watch his house. Bard then reminded Alfrid that food was scarce and threatened him with unrest among the citizenry if they heard that the Master was dumping fish in the lake, causing Alfrid to order the guards to stop and allow him to pass, but not before threatening Bard. In The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, Alfrid stopped Bard the Bowman from entering Lake-town with barrels filled with fish (which was to hide Thorin and Company in order to smuggle them into the town) as he was not allowed to fill the barrels, and ordered Braga and the guards to empty them into the lake. He is portrayed by actor Ryan Gage in the second and third films, advising the Master in matters of diplomacy, trade, and the defense of Lake-town.
The character was referred to in the novel The Hobbit at the end of Chapter 10 as one of the Master's counselors, but not by name.
