Withers has pale-brown, desiccated skin splotched with red spots. Strikingly, he lacks a nose but retains his other facial features. His outfit is tattered by the passage of time, and he wears bandages around his arms and chest. Despite his looks, his face, arms and parts of his collarbone are adorned with elaborate gilded strips of metal, giving him a regal look. | |||

At times, he also shows a kindness rarely seen as is the case with [[Arabella]] should she join the party as a camp follower. Withers soothes her after she finds her parents are dead, and will gently guide her in her journey of understanding of the Weave. He also organised the gathering after the events of the game simply for the enjoyment of the companions, and rescued [[Milil]] from the Fugue Plane he was trapped in, even if it only was to provide music and entertainment. Furthermore, he seems to enjoy more mundane activities as evidenced by his multiple luncheons with [[Tara]] and [[Gale|Gale's]] mother. | At times, he also shows a kindness rarely seen as is the case with [[Arabella]] should she join the party as a camp follower.

* Clerics of Kelemvor may sense something familiar in him, prompting Withers to reply ''"Thou walk with death, child of Kelemvor.

* In Withers' post-epilogue party players can find Milil, a god of song, poetry and inspiration, performing as entertainment. When spoken to, Milil explains that Withers saved him from being trapped in the Fugue Plane by Cyric. He also states that he always performs at Withers' parties and is glad to do so, showing that Withers' powers effect even gods, all but confirming that Withers is Jergal. | |||
** This is further shown if the player attacks another character at the party. Withers approaches and reprimands them for it, opens a portal to the Fugue Plane and easily hurls the player character into it, ending the playthrough. This happens with all player avatars, even ones such as a Mind Flayer or Gale who successfully became the God of Ambition. | |||

* As of Hotfix 21, there is a bug where Withers can be killed in camp during Act 3 by a [[partial-illithid]] character, via repeatedly using an [[Intelligence]] [[Cantrip]] (or other [[Spells]]) to trigger [[Ability Drain]] to bring Withers' INT to 1, and then using [[Devour Intellect]]. Withers only drops a regular [[Quarterstaff]]. | |||
