Personal Appearance
As a younger man, in his mid to late 30's in 2998 and 2999, Charles was described as tall, being built like a tank and having impassive blue eyes.[4][5]
However, by the time he had reached his 60's in 3025 and 3029, he had become short and thin, though this contrasted with his still thunderous voice.[1] At this stage he however was still muscular like a former rugby player with medium-brown skin, with a thick graying goatee, and a heavily lined face.[6]
By the time of his death in his 90's however, he would be recalled by his daughter Ariana Winston as having a lighter complexion than her own mahogany skin[2], while still being short and thin.[3]
These relatively drastic changes in his appearance over time may have been attributed not only to his advancing age, but also his poor health, since from at least 3025 Charles had known that his heart was failing and at risk of causing a fatal heart attack.[1][6]
History
Marriage and Children
Charles was married in 2995, to a physician who worked in one of the Eridani Light Horse's MASH units.[1][6] Together they had two daughters, being:
- Gloria Winston, the couple's eldest daughter, who grew up to be a historian.[1][3]
- Ariana Winston, the couple's youngest[6] daughter born in 3011, who grew up to be a MechWarrior and later commander of the Eridani Light Horse.[1][7]
Charles was closer to Ariana than Gloria, due to Ariana choosing to follow in her father's footsteps, which was a source of some tension between the sisters.[3]
Career
Charles was the commander of the 21st Striker Regiment ("Winston’s Moonrakers"), and his Command Company ("Winston’s Guards")[8], from at least 2998[4] until 3029.[6]
BattleMech
Winston was known to pilot a BattleMaster BattleMech.[8][9][6]
