Westley followed at a pace that alarmed Vizzini, and gained on the foursome seemingly without difficulty, while Fezzik struggled with the load of his passengers. Fezzik-with Vizzini, Inigo Montoya, and Buttercup lashed onto him with a harness-climbed up the cliffs with a rope that had been placed at the top as a way to scale the cliff side. Both ships docked at the Cliffs of Insanity.

Westley, as the Dread Pirate Roberts, trailed through eel-infested waters, chasing the ship that had taken Buttercup captive. So, they sailed ashore, assigned an entirely new crew, and Ryan took up the position of first mate, all the time calling Westley 'Roberts.' Once the crew believed, he left the ship, and Westley had been the Dread Pirate Roberts ever since. Ryan then explained that the name Dread Pirate Roberts was the important thing for inspiring the necessary fear, because no one would surrender to 'the Dread Pirate Westley.' The real Roberts had been retired for over 15 years, and living like a king in Patagonia.' My real name is Ryan, and I inherited this ship from the previous Dread Pirate Roberts, who was not Roberts either. He told him his wishes and then revealed a secret: 'I am not Dread Pirate Roberts. Knowing that he could trust Westley, he brought him to his cabin. Three years after Westley's capture, Roberts had grown so rich that he wanted to retire. Westley learnt to 'fence, fight, anything' anyone on board would teach him, and eventually, he and Roberts became friends. Good work, sleep well, I'll most likely kill you in the morning.' Westley became his valet, since that was something Roberts had never had but wanted, and, in exchange, Roberts kept him alive, saying every night, 'Goodnight, Westley. This intrigued Roberts, so he proposed a deal. Roberts asked why, after which Westley explained his deep love and affection for Buttercup. While it was thought that Westley had been killed, his life had been spared by the pirate after pleading that he keep him alive.

Just a few weeks after his departure, Buttercup learned that Westley's ship had been boarded by the nefarious Dread Pirate Roberts and his crew, who were infamous for never leaving captives alive.īuttercup went into solitude for the next several years, feeling that she would never love another man again. Westley, being poor, set out on a journey to seek wealth for marriage. 'As you wish' he said, as they drew closer together, and lovingly embraced, as Buttercup realized her love for him. Before he could to head out the door to continue chopping wood, Buttercup called to him, again requesting something. The next day, while she was in her house, Westley was bringing in firewood. He once again replied with 'as you wish', but Buttercup, this time, felt a strange feeling surge through her. One day, after coming back from a ride with her horse, she told Westley to shine her horse's saddle, and to later fill some buckets with water. He replied with nothing but 'as you wish', and complied with the request. A beautiful girl named Buttercup, the owners' daughter, loved nothing more then tormenting the boy by ordering him around, calling him 'farm boy'. He lived on a farm, as a helping hand for the family that owned the land. Westley was a man from the country of Florin.
