Felix Raymond Ryan

" 'What I am about to tell you I have never said before and you must guard it closely. I am not the Dread Pirate Roberts, my name is Ryan. I inherited this ship from the previous Dread Pirate Roberts just as you will inherit it from me. The man I inherited from was not the real Dread Pirate Roberts either; his name was Cummberbund. The real original Dread Pirate Roberts has been retired fifteen years and has been living like a king in Patagonia.' - Felix Raymond Ryan to Westley."

Felix Raymond Ryan is a pirate in The Princess Bride. He served under the moniker Dread Pirate Roberts.

The Princess Bride
Ryan originally came from Boodle, a town near Liverpool, Merseyside, England.

At some point, Ryan joined the ship Revenge and became part of the crew of the Dread Pirate Roberts, who was actually a man named Cummerbund. Cummerbund had inherited the title from Dread Pirate Roberts' first mate Clooney; the actual Dread Pirate Roberts became so rich that he retired in Patagonia.

At some point, the crew of the Revenge encountered a ship called The Queen's Pride, sailing off the Carolina coast. Roberts' crew captured the ship and killed most of the men, but when they came across a former farm boy named Westley, he pleaded for Roberts to spare his life for his true love Buttercup. Roberts decided to spare Westley and take him in as a servant, but frequently said that he might kill Westley in the morning.

After three years of piracy, Roberts finally revealed his identity to Westley, and passed the title onto him, serving as first mate to Westley before retiring.
