In 'The Princess Bride', what is the name of the farm boy?

In The Princess Bride, the farm boy's name is Westley. He works on Buttercup's family's farm and repeatedly answers her requests with the phrase “As you wish,” which gradually reveals that he loves her.

Westley leaves to seek his fortune, but Buttercup later learns that the ship carrying him was attacked by the Dread Pirate Roberts. Believing Westley dead, she becomes engaged to Prince Humperdinck. Westley eventually returns in disguise as the Man in Black and sets out to rescue her.

The character is often confused with the story's other memorable figures. Humperdinck is the prince who wants to marry Buttercup, Fezzik is the gentle giant, and Inigo Montoya is the swordsman seeking revenge. Westley's identity as the farm boy is especially important because the romance begins before the adventure and drives much of the plot.
