In The Princess Bride, Fezzik's mother seems to be a perfectly normal Turkish woman. She cares deeply for Fezzik and wants for the other kids to not pick on him, so she and Fezzik's father decide to teach him to fight. Upon seeing Fezzik's strength and potential, she and her husband quit their jobs to train Fezzik to be a pro fighter. They threaten to leave him alone if he doesn't fight, though they do worry that they're pushing him too hard for such a young kid. She and Fezzik's father die in Mongolia after several years of managing Fezzik's fights.
