Allister Mayston

"And he shall rise from the depths, to punish the sinners and smite the unworthy!
 * —Allister, referring to Brivega"

Allister Mayston is arguably the main antagonist of the first Wither Springs game, despite not being the final boss. Despite being the antagonist, he has no evil motives; he clearly believes that what he is doing is just.

Personality
Despite being the main antagonist, Allister does not have evil or immoral intentions; he clearly believes that Brivega will save the world and rid it of all of its evil. He is a no-nonsense-type character who can never be dissuaded from his objective. He seems to show no remorse in committing murder, as shown when he brutally stabs Angelica Dowly.

Biography
Despite being one of the key characters, not much of Allister's past is explained or revealed. It is clear he is a firm believer in the teachings of The Hallowed. This may be because he was taught these teachings from a young age. He seems to be hasty, being impatient in the process of resurrecting Brivega, his idea of a savior.

Wither Springs
As Jay is exiting the police station, he gets another video text. The video shows Jay's wife's body roll off the bed and onto the floor with a knife in her chest. It shows a robed man hiding outside the house.

In this building, Jay finds a ringing phone. Upon answering it, he is greeted by the mumbling, panicked voice of Angelica, which is then interrupted by an elderly man's voice. This voice declares that the age of Brivega is nearing, and will begin when the Mandola is completed. He declares that Brivega will punish the sinners and smite the unworthy. The phone connection is lost.

Jay and Angelica attempt to escape through a rock tunnel, but are eventually stopped by an elderly man named Allister Mayston. He talks about how Brivega will judge the living and engulf the unjust. He explains that his years of worship would grant him immortality and allow him to rule the world at Brivega's side. Allister unsheathes a dagger and stabs Angelica in the heart, killing her. This leaves Jay as the final sacrifice. Allister then cuts his own wrist, letting his blood fall into a pit along with the blood of Angelica.

After another earthquake, an immense creature (Brivega), bathed in a blinding light, rises from the pit. As Allister prays to the deity, it roars in his face and swallows him whole. It then turns its attention to Jay. Jay, alone in the cavern, faces the creature and ultimately defeats it.
