Summary. "The Continental" prequel series fails to confirm the popular theory that Winston is John Wick's father despite numerous connections between the characters.
What is the relationship between Winston and John Wick?
Although he is a close friend and ally of John Wick, he is still a high-ranking and powerful member of the Continental, and does what he has to do to those who break its rules.
Uncle Charlie's (Peter Greene) beloved "Maria," the car he loans to Winston around the 41-minute mark, is a sexy 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1. Any John Wick fan will immediately recognize it as the very same make and model stolen from Keanu Reeves' titular hitman in the original film.
A popular fan theory suggests that Helen is the daughter of Winston Scott. Helen may might be an analogy to Helen of Troy in Greek Mythology. It's unknown if Helen was ever aware of her husband's past as an assassin.
The nickname "Jonathan" is not John Wick's actual full name, indicating that it is likely a personal nickname Winston has given him, potentially supporting the theory that Winston is John's father.

Did Winston betray John Wick or was it planned?
While Winston is the disloyal friend who left John dead, it's revealed that the shooting was Winston and John's backup plan. Now, John Wick is even more bloodthirsty, and he'll do anything to erase his bounty and take down the Marquis and anyone who gets in his way.
The tattoo on Winston's arm was the Ruska Roma crest. This could mean anything from Winston merely having an affiliation with the organization to Winston being a family member. Either way, this could explain how his daughter came to meet the feared bogey man.
Caine is extremely selfless and honorable. Though he disregarded the words of Koji Shimazu, who tried to remind him of the brotherhood that they had both shared with John, Caine later referred to John as his brother after their duel, showing that he truly did regard John as a friend and a brother.
Kennedy's executive order (executive order 11111). JFK's executive order on June 11, 1963, provided "assistance for the removal of obstructions of justice and suppression of unlawful combinations within the state of Alabama." On November 22, 1963 (five months later), he was assassinated.
The bond between Winston and John and the films was never fully explained, but it's clear that they have more of a rapport than most of the other assassins in the series have with each other. With the knowledge that at one point Winston decides to gift this car to John, we have another clue that links them together.
Uncle Charlie is insistent that whenever Winston parks the Mustang, he must put a car cover over it, indicating that it is a valuable set of wheels and not just some base model. Also, "Maria" is silver gray with black rally stripes the same as John Wick's Boss 429 from the movie franchise.
Played by Shamier Anderson, Mr. Nobody, also known as Tracker, is a bounty hunter with his sights set on Keanu Reeves' eponymous assassin, though bides his time taking Wick down until the reward hits a certain point.
The John Wick coins have no fixed dollar value, but their true worth lies in the trust and honor they represent within the mercenary world. The coins are made with real gold and would be worth around $2,000 each based on their gold content, but their value goes beyond monetary exchange.
What is John Wick: Chapter 5 about? While there is currently no synopsis for Chapter 5, it will likely depict the characters as they deal with the fallout of Wick's supposed death.
What makes Winston's final words to John even more suspicious is the language in which he speaks them. Winston says, "Farewell, my son" in Russian, and as John is Russian, the parting words likely carry a deeper meaning.
Winston stays behind, touches John's grave, and mutters, “Farewell, my son,” in Russian. Then he too walks away, as the camera cranes up. Of course, scenes of people standing over the graves of heroes who didn't actually die is a common motif in modern action cinema, so we keep waiting for that inevitable reveal.
Summary. Winston Scott is approximately 30 years old in The Continental, based on his age in the original John Wick film and the events of the show's timeline in the late '70s. Charon is approximately 18 years old in The Continental, as indicated by his manager Cormac who refers to him as a teenager.
John Wick 5 would likely have to be a prequel for Keanu Reeves to return. Or, it could focus on totally new characters with a fresh cast. While fans may be excited to hear that John Wick 5 is potentially in the works, this announcement may also bring up some confusion.

Stahelski once and for all confirmed that Winston knew John would likely survive when the Continental's manager fired several bullets his way.
[SPOILER for JOHN WICK 3] How did John Wick survive the fall off the Continental? An ordinary human would not survive that fall. The key scene there was during the fall he hit railings & roof along the way. Recognizing John Wick, the metals suddenly soften themselves to avoid getting hit hard.
The Elder told him that his excommunicado status and bounty would be revoked on the sole condition that he kills Winston Scott, who had refused to show fealty to the High Table and give up his position as manager of the New York Continental, and that he will serve the High Table for the rest of his life.
