- During the conversation with Ketheric Thorm, he will reveal that he became Myrkul's chosen after Myrkul resurrected his daughter Isobel.

In the post-credit scene, Withers talks to a mural of the Dead Three and chides them for their plot with the Mind Flayers:
| “ | There thou art. The Dead Three. Thy faces, gods. Thy actions barely worthy of the name. Didst truly believe thy ploy would succeed? Didst believe I would not notice? Thou sought to bolster thy strength by taking away the souls of mortals. But souls vanish when their hosts become mind flayers. Didst think the other gods would not notice? Gods thou may be, yet thou hast proven thyselves fools, every one. The supplication of Bane. The whimper of Bhaal. The dead mewl of Myrkul. Felled by mortals. I overestimated thee. They did not. Vermin, away. Thou wilt trouble us no more. |
