From the official Site
Winston is Lara's butler, and he has served the Crofts for most of his life. He's calm, sophisticated, unflappable, and knows more about Lara and her doings than anyone. He worries about her but he knows how capable she is, and he does nothing to dissuade her from her life's pursuit, and indeed he's just as willing to fetch 9mm ammunition as he is to set out tea service, and he will even toss a few spare ammo clips into her bag without her asking.
Tomb Raider Anniversary
Winston makes his return in Tomb Raider Anniversary, even though he was not in the original Tomb Raider. He doesn't have any dialogue in this game and his only appearance is at the Croft Manor. As Lara explores the manor, he is found in several places of the house. If you unlock 27 Artifacts, you will have his biography. "Winston's family has been with the Crofts for generations, and he has been the family butler since he was honorably discharged from the military in his late-twenties; just as his father before him. He moved into Croft Manor to stay as the only live-in staff when his wife died, before Lara was born. He tends to all Lara's household needs, going far beyond the duties of a traditional butler given Lara's unusual lifestyle and pursuits, but he has never disappointed her.
