Winston (Maze Runner)

Winston was a Glader and the Keeper of the Slicers in The Maze Runner franchise.

He was a good friend with Thomas and especially with Frypan.

In the films, he is protrayed by Alexander Flores.

The Maze Runner
In the film, he greeted Thomas with several other gladers and laughed when he came out of the box and fell while running. He is part of the Gladers who push Ben into the maze during his banishment (after he was stung by the Grievers and attacked Thomas) and lights, later, Gally scratching the name of the banned.

He is present when Teresa arrives at the Glade, in the box. When Thomas convinces Minho to come with him in the maze to dissect a corpse of griever, the keeper of the runners also convinces Zart, Frypan and Winston to come. The same evening, Winston informs Thomas that the doors of the maze aren't closing what worries the gladers. He survives at the grievers attack on the glade and watched Alby die.

Next morning, when Gally is now in charge, Winston expresses his annoyance for the fate of Teresa and Thomas. When they rebel against Gally, he joins their group, like Jeff, and escapes with them. He survives the final fight against the grievers and screams when Jeff dies. He enters with Thomas and the other survivors in the devastated laboratory of WCKD.

When Gally shows up, stung in his turn and kills Chuck before he probably also dies, Winston mourns the child's death. He is escorted with the others by soldiers in black to a helicopter that takes them to the Scorch.

The Scorch Trials
He appears in the sequel of the first film with the other surviving Gladers, entering the immense facility of WCKD leaded by Janson, although he ignores it. He doesn't believe Thomas when he says that the people in this building are lying about their intentions and, in passing, makes the acquaintance of Aris. But when Thomas returns with evidence, he forces them to leave the dormitory to flee the facility.

They succeed, with Aris, Winston and the others go to an abandoned mall. Cranks then attack the group, kill Jack, a glader and wound Winston in the stomach. The next morning, Winston's injury worsens and he falls on the sand dunes during the journey. His friends have to carry him; but Winston is trying to end his life by failing to shoot himself with a gun. He shows the infection on his belly and Newt gives him the gun to fulfill his wish. He tells Thomas to take care of others and presses the trigger.



Winston is mentioned by Frypan when the heroes join the Right Arm.

The Death Cure
In the last film, Minho is captured by WCKD and to harvest the serum against the Flare, he has to go through programmed trials in his imagination. In the beginning of the event, Minho is at Glade and sees Winston, Chuck and Alby turning to him.

At the end of the film, Newt still mention the three gladers in his letter to Thomas.
