Opie Winston

Quiet, reflective, and methodical, even meticulous in his manner, Opie is the epitome of the 'strong-silent' type. A man of few words, he lets his actions and deeds speak for him, and it is his courage and actions that endear many others to him. Good natured, and undeniably kind, that is not to say the giant man doesn't has a nasty and mean streak to him. Quick to find his temper, and even quicker to go out of control, the man lives in a boiling pot of emotions and constantly struggles with his grief for his dead wife. The father of two children, though he loves them more than anything in the world, his inability to deal with his stricken emotions for his dead wife, leaves the man distant from the impressionable little ones. Having learn that Lyla was taking medication to keep from falling pregnant, and refusing to leave her career as a porn-star, Opie has begun to wonder whether he made a terrible decision in marrying her. Their move to Reno has done little to ease these concerns.

Like Jax, the club's in his blood, it's the only life and family he's ever known.

Opie is a large and burly man, standing at an impressive 6'4", he towers over most of his brothers in the club. Opie is young, roughly the same age as his best friend, Jax and he is in good physical shape. He often kept medium to long thick brown hair, which was either loose, in a ponytail or a bun, and a beard. Opie has numerous tattoos on his upper body. The right side of his neck reads "Gracie", this was a stock tattoo and it has no meaning. On his left shoulder, he has a tattoo of his late wife, Donna, with her name written below. After Donna's death in 2008, angel wings were added to this piece. Below this on his forearm, he has a portrait of his two children. He also has some Latin lettering on the same arm reading "tantum-deus", roughly translating to "Only God". On the opposite arm on his shoulder he has a large dark circle with intricate designs and the word "SAMCRO" in the centre. Along his collarbones and top of his chest he has "The center cannot hold", "Anarchy is the only hope" and an anarchy symbol separating the two phrases; directly below this he also has a reaper. Hurst states this tattoo was inspired by a poem and song lyrics. On either side of his ribs, he has a large black demon, identical on both sides. Perhaps most noticeably, he also had a large Sons of Anarchy insignia on his back. Opie's final tattoo he received was around 2011, a moth tattooed on his throat. Hurst states that most of the tattoos were designed and chosen by him.

Opie's bike is close to Jax's bike in many ways. It is a 2003 Harley Davidson Dyna Super Glide Sport with front drag fairing, taped thunderheader exhaust and a custom badlander seat. Opie has embraced the SOA logo on a pile of skulls for his paint on the fuel tank. The engine has been black powder coated. He has drag bars with high risers for handlebars instead of the T-Bars that are common among the rest of the club.
