* UriahGambit: Winston actually pulls this gambit on an ''overlord'' rather than underling. In ''Chapter 4'', Winston informs John that he can challenge the Marquis de Gramont to single combat and win his freedom. Winston goads the Marquis into taking this option so that the Marquis can have the glory of defeating John, but having great confidence that John Wick can win the duel instead.

* YouHaveFailedMe: Disobeying his direct order to not conduct business on his property will at least be met with a contract on the offender's life. Either that or Winston will ambush the offender with some of his professional killers and formally announce that the offender has revoked their membership before the bullets start flying.

* FamilyExtermination: [[spoiler:As kids, Winston and Frankie threw a Molotov cocktail into a Bronx apartment on orders from Cormac, killing KD di Silva's family (who they didn't were in the building at the time). Years later, KD tries to kill Winston as revenge while he's carrying out a takeover of the Continental, though ultimately decides to redirect her revenge at Cormac once she overhears him admit to ordering the hit.]]

* NonActionGuy: Somewhat inevitably given his age, he never does any fighting or engages in any of the action scenes, even sitting back and drinking brandy while John and Charon plow through assassins. [[spoiler:He wasn't always this way, though, as ''The Continental'' shows that as kids, he and his brother Frankie were used by Cormac O'Connor to torch a building in the Bronx. And in the 1970s, he assembles and leads a team that successfully conquers the Continental and deposes of Cormac to avenge Frankie's death.]]

* PetTheDog: Gives John an hour's head start after he breaks Continental rules which is noteable as he has Ms. Perkins executed on the spot for the same.
* PragmaticHero: He opts for direct solutions that cut to the heart of the matter rather than simply trying to cut through legions of mooks. He's introduced in the prequel series ''The Cotntinental'' trying to get a London millionaire to invest ... in car parks.

* FedoraOfAsskicking: Played with in that Charlie wears a Nice Hat, but is not someone who directly engages in the violence. He is, however, the supervisor of the cleanup crew, which establishes his authority. The hat deserves mention as a signature look for Charlie, and how he politely doffs it in John's direction when greeting him.

* MagicAntidote: The medicine he provides John is vaguely defined but apparently miraculous. In the first film, one type of pill allows John to maintain functionality immediately after ingestion the morning after he'd been beaten, stabbed, and thrown off a balcony (it doesn't deal with pain, though, John had borboun for that). In the third film, another type of pill helps John deal with the pain from a stab wound while also fighting off infection and providing an energy boost.
* ProperlyParanoid: Upon giving John some pills after the man's excommunication went into effect, he has John shoot him twice to make it look like a robbery. It's a bit of BlackComedy at Chapter 3's beginning, but as the film plays out the audience is shown just how '''severely''' giving assistance to excommunicated members is punished and how right he was to think taking a bullet or two was the better choice.

* LoopholeAbuse: In his first scene, he orders one of his underlings to execute another within his office. The man refuses the order, citing the [[TruceZone "no business can be conducted on the premises"]] rule. Likewise noting that he can't have the underling executed for refusing to obey such an order lest he be the one facing excommunication, he instead threatens to kill the man's family if he doesn't fling himself off the nearby balcony.

* EvilBrit: He runs a vast criminal enterprise and speaks with a British accent (though not Ian [=McShane=]'s natural accent - Winston has an RP "Queen's English" accent in contrast to [=McShane=]'s natural Lancashire one). [[spoiler: However, we learn in the closing moments of ''Chapter 4,'' as Ruska Roma, he was at the very least born in Belarus. ''The Continental'' reveals he grew up in New York City and left for England to make a new life for himself.]]

* OhCrap: Has this reaction when he hears Caine’s voice. Prior to this, he believes his men can hold their own in the hotel. However, when Koji realizes that Caine is present, he knows that it will only be a matter of time before they’re overrun. And he’s proven right when his men pin down the High Table troops the kitchen, only to be easily (and reluctantly) slaughtered by Caine.

* BlueBlood: Perhaps. Some research into the name ''Shimazu'' shows that they are a real life samurai clan dating back to the 17th century. It's never stated that he is connected with those Shimazu but given his and his followers' affinity for traditional samurai weapons and the Table's penchant for having the titled and well-connected among their ranks, it's very possible he and his daughter are descended from that clan.
