From the wikipedia:

Westley, the hero of The Princess Bride, was on a voyage to seek his fortune when the ship he was aboard was captured by the Dread Pirate’s ship. While the other passengers were begging and offering bribery for their lives, Westley simply asked Roberts please not to kill him. The “please” arousing his interest, Roberts asked, “Why should I make an exception of you?” Westley then explained his mission to get enough money to reunite himself with Buttercup. Westley’s description of Buttercup’s beauty intrigued Roberts to the point that he hired Westley as a personal attendant. While Roberts was continually impressed with Westley’s work, he continued to keep Westley’s future in doubt by saying each night “Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I’ll most likely kill you in the morning.” After about three years, Roberts and Westley had grown close, and Roberts promoted Westley to his second-in-command. Shortly after that, Roberts reveals to Westley that the guise of the “Dread Pirate Roberts” was merely a nom de guerre that he had inherited.
