Captain Frederick Wentworth is the male love interest in Persuasion. Captain Wentworth is the younger brother of Mr. Wentworth, the curate of Monkford. Both of his parents are dead. He has one sister, Mrs. Croft, who is married to Admiral Croft. Although he was originally not wealthy at all, he had made no less than £20,000 while abroad, making him a very desirable marriage prospect. He marries Anne Elliot, the middle daughter of a baronet, in 1814.
