Withers

The "Old Man" Withers, also known as head assassin of ghoul-haters, was the leader of a raider group that came to Springfield in order to eradicate ghouls and overthrow the mayor Chris Avellone in 2197.

Background
Withers was in fact a young man skilled in combat, who used a shotgun against his enemies. The group he lead, while appears to be just another raider gang, was in fact a party of ghoul-haters who were pissed off by the mayor's pro-ghoulish politics. The group was quite large and included not only regular members (called simply raiders in-game), but also some elite, experienced warriors called enforcers. The head assassin, as he presented himself during the attack, was found and killed by the warrior along with all his men.

Appearances
Head assassin Withers appears only in Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel.
