The Princess Bride 7 Inch Scale Action Figure , Westley Dread Pirate Roberts

After the crew is convinced, the former Roberts leaves the ship and retires on his earnings. Westley had grown close to his predecessor after he was captured while searching for his fortune to return to Buttercup. Everyone except the successor is then released at a convenient port, a new crew hired, and the former Roberts stays aboard as first mate. In an attempt to help him achieve this goal the Previous Dread Pirate thought this position would help Westley achieve his goal. The constant reference to "Captain Roberts" establishes the new Roberts' persona. It is revealed during the course of the story that Roberts is not one man, but a series of individuals who periodically pass the name and reputation to a chosen successor. The only thing known concerning the Dread Pirate Roberts is that he never leaves captives alive. However this iteration of Dread Pirate Roberts is really Westley, who inherited the title after the previous Dread Pirate Roberts retired.
