The Banker (name unknown) is one of the 4 guests introduced in the 1973 film Westworld. He is portrayed by Dick Van Patten.
== Biography ==
===Background===
The "Banker" is a guest who visits the Westworld. 
Nothing is known about his past and biography, except the fact he's a rich banker.
== Plot ==
===Westworld (film)===
The guest is first seen in a hovercraft with Peter Martin, John Blane, the Medieval Knight and other unnamed guests.
At the distribution center, the guest chooses the blue path, that is, the Westworld.
He changes his clothes to appropriate ones along with Peter and John. Later, he rents a room in the same hotel John and Peter do. In his room, he rehearses how to use his gun and accidentally shoots the mirror he's standing by.
When the lunch begins and the guests ask where one can "get a girl", the hotel hostess tells she is not interested in such kind of things. However, the Banker mentions Miss Carrie in the end of the street.
After Peter sleeps with Arlette, she is hired by Banker, as they're seen in a bed together.
Later, Banker attempts to become town's sheriff. Techs at control room allow him to do so, and he gets the badge, walks out of his new office and declares his new position only to be ridiculed upon by a random villager. He tries to fend for himself, turns around to enter the sheriff's office, but struggles to get the door open.
Shortly after, Banker enters Miss Carrie's saloon with a bottle of drink which immediately gets broken by a visitor. The Banker is shocked, but soon joins the fight and breaks multiple furniture pieces and punches numerous robots.
==Personality==
The Banker is a timid, non-confident and clumsy person, like the Medievalworld guest, who develops his character traits in the park, becoming more assertive and bold. It is apparent that he's never been in difficult situations before and he can't stand up for himself. As he's a banker, it's likely that he never does something himself since he can get others to do that due to his wealth and position. Unlike the Medievalworld guest, Banker's actions aren't antagonistic since he's empathetic — he doesn't abuse the robots, doesn't hurt them fatally as, for example, John does.
