Inigo Montoya

Inigo Montoya is a fictional character from William Goldman's novel and film *The Princess Bride*, a Spanish swordsman seeking revenge for his father's murder.

His repeated line—Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. —has become a widely quoted template for determined confrontation or obsessive focus on a single goal.
