In The Princess Bride, Falkbridge is a criminal who owns an alehouse in the Thieves Quarter of Florin City. He's been bribing Yellin for 20 years in order to avoid prison, as he's one of the worst criminals in the city. Yellin refuses to let Falkbridge hide out in his alehouse for Prince Humperdinck's wedding, though he's displeased when a brute clubs Falkbridge instead of taking him gently.
