'''Withers''' is a mysterious [[undead]] entity that joins the player on their adventures as a [[camp follower]]. He calls himself ''"a scribe, a seneschal - a keeper of records"'', and offers resurrection services to the party, allows characters to change or reset their class and provides the services of [[hireling]]s.

Withers is first encountered in the [[Dank Crypt]] - an ancient temple of Jergal. He can be found resting inside a sarcophagus within the hidden room. Once freed, he will ask the party a cryptic question and then leave.

Later, Withers will appear at the [[Campsite|campsite]] and join as a [[Camp Follower|camp follower]]. If the player reaches the courtyard of the goblin camp, or progresses far enough without completing [[Explore the Ruins]] and meeting him in the crypt, this will still happen. If the player then visits the crypt, they'll still be able to complete the aforementioned quest, but the sarcophagus will be empty.

If the player is playing as [[The Dark Urge]] and refuses to become the Chosen of [[Bhaal]] after killing [[Orin]], Bhaal will seemingly kill the player character. However, in the final moment, Withers will appear and tell the player that while Bhaal could destroy his own spawn, he could not destroy the new self that the character had become by resisting the Dark Urge. He pronounces the player character redeemed and free of Bhaal's influence and brings them back to life.

Withers can be found among the allies and companions gathered in [[High Hall]] for the final battle against the [[Netherbrain]]. He will offer his services as always, as well as offer some words of encouragement for the fight ahead.

If the player character attacks anyone, Withers banishes them to an unknown realm through a portal, and the game ends immediately.


In the after credits scene, Withers is seen talking to a mural of the Dead Three disappointed in their actions and telling them that he overestimated them.
