Biography
Piermont "Piney" Winston was served as a Marine during the Vietnam War, was stationed at Firebase Valley Forge, and played a key role in defense of its airfield alongside Frank Castle, Sr. and Clay Morrow. When he returned to his hometown of Charming, California in 1967, he felt ostracized by the same society that he had just risked his life for. He eventually became one of the First Nine, co-founding the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club with fellow war veteran John Teller. He served as Teller's vice president until 1991, when he was diagnosed with emphysema, relegating him to an advisory position within the club. Following Teller's death, and his son Opie's involvement within the organization, Piney regained his status as an active member despite his condition, serving to advise his son and Teller's own son, Jax.

Gun Running (2006)
At the time Frank Castle was in Los Angeles, the Sons of Anarchy received an offer of employment from Microchip, offering substantial funds for weapons and ammunition to be delivered to Castle's safehouse. Piney, along with Juice, Jax Teller, and Alex "Tig" Trager made the handoff, resulting in a conversation between Piney and Frank regarding the state of one another's affairs and their common points of history.

By the time of the Vampire War, Clay Morrow had already killed Piney; before departing Charming, however, Frank Castle paid his respects to his father's late brother-in-arms.
