[b]Personality:[/b]
[list]
[*]Entirely loyal to Paul (as further explained below)
[*]Quiet with strangers; boisterous with friends.
[*]Barely literate: he knows his letters and numbers but struggles with large or [i]flowery[/i] words.
[*]However, he is no idiot and is very knowledgeable of the world in which he lives.
[*]Not afraid to use violence to get what he wants, but he's not unnecessarily brutal. 
[*]Doesn't appear charismatic, but once you get to know him you realize that he can be charming beyond his looks.
[*]Women are more often than not frightened by him; and when gets naked with them, the fear of that [i]monster[/i] between his legs doesn't often improve the situation.

[b]Background[/b]:
[list]
[*]~880-890 UC: Born to a tavern wench in a Northern Duchy.  
[*]Youth:
[list]
[*]His mother claimed the local Sheriff was his father, but being a whore she couldn't prove anything, thus robbing of him of Noble status.
[*]His mother died when he was just 5 years old.
[*]He lived in the backroom of the tavern until he was 8, when he was accused of thievery and tossed into the streets.
[*]Already, he was bigger than most kids anywhere near his age.
[*]A street tough named Big Bill -- who was only big in reputation -- took on Winston as his muscle.
[/list]
[*]Adult years:
[list]
[*]After the murder of Big Bill and the execution of much of the gang by the local Count's Guard, Winston fled south.
[*]Having joined the crew of a merchant ship, he ultimately arrived in Portston.  
[*]While there, he stepped in to prevent the assassination on Duke Cranston of Westrock.
[*]He was rewarded with a position on the Castle Guard.
[*]A young Paul Cranston was positively entranced by the huge warrior and demanded that Winston become his bodyguard and warfare tutor.
[*]Cranston obliged, and Winston has been with Paul since.
[/list]
[*]914 UC: After he saved Paul's life during the ambush of highwaymen who had been setting upon caravans on the Westrock Road, Winston was knighted and given title to the Town of Greenbrier on the northern frontier of Westrock.
[*]920 UC: While he was away with Paul searching for Duke Cranston, Greenbrier was sacked and burned by forces from the North.  With the walls breached, the population was without protection and dispersed into the winds.  While still Winston's property, Greenbrier is today little more than a few homes that pay tribute to any raiders or forces that set upon them.
[*]926 UC: Winston returns to Westrock with Paul.
