A journal found in the [[Grand Mausoleum]] in Baldur's Gate records a meeting between a priest and who they identify as Jergal, the God of Death that preceded the [[Dead Three]]. The journal relates that the priest ''"came face to face with him: Masked in gold, his skin fine and worn as parchment. Jergal, the death-keeper, the End of Everything. I asked what he needed of me. He asked a simple question: 'What is the worth of a single mortal's life?'"''. This is the same question asked of the player by Withers when roused from his sarcophagus in Act One. | |||
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. | 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. | ||
