[It's absolutely both, but ask anyone who knows him in person, the latter is undeniably true.]
The existence of multiple planes and worlds is something commonly accepted where I come from, and even documented to a certain extent, but alternate universes is a newer concept, one I was introduced to here, as well. For instance, there is a woman here who is also from Waterdeep, but our experiences and memories regarding the city and events therein are quite different despite being from similar points in time. It is entirely possible that there could be another timeline in which you never came here in the first place!
As for Winter, I've yet to determine if we're from the same continuity or not, but so far, there's been nothing to suggest that there are any differences between the way we have both experienced life in Faerun. Time may certainly tell on that one, but the possibilities are apparently endless. Thrilling, if you ask me!
