In the end, Tahir is seen resting up against a pillar with his military machete at his side. While witnessing Crane respectfully killing the infected Jade, he appears and fights Crane in a boss battle. Later near the game's end, Rais sends in Tahir and his accompanied bandits to kill Jade and Crane inside the museum. Later, Tahir is seen again with his sidearm at Zere's head alongside with Rais when Crane tries to rescue Zere from the bandits. After this, he gets into a vehicle and leaves the school.

Outside the school, Tahir holds a few survivors hostage before the hostages try to flee, and are killed by Tahir's pistol shots. Half-way into the game, Tahir is once again seen by both Crane and Jade when Tahir and the bandits are heard stealing crates of supplies from the Slums School.

After Rais speaks to Crane, he tells him to talk to Karim about Rais considering him Antizin for The Tower. Later, Tahir can be seen again back at Rais's Garrison, having Crane to stay up and questing him if he'd seen him before. Saying that noises will draw in the infected, Tahir and his bandits then attack Crane off-guard before fleeing after one of his men was shot. When discovering it is Kyle Crane, he threatens him to break his legs before Crane pulls out his pistol and telling him and the bandits to back off. In the beginning, Tahir is accompanied by his allied men to check out something that came out of the sky (being Crane), thinking it was another airdrop. The survivor concludes for Crane to be cautious with Tahir as he is a 'beast in the shape of a man'.

At one time a five-man group armed with shanks tried to cut Tahir's throat, but he successfully overwhelmed and brutally defeated the group with their own weapons to the point where the group had to be identified by dental records. Tahir had survived and thrived behind bars and even unleashed a kind of brutaility that 'one sees among wild animals'. According from a survivor who used to be in a prison cell with Tahir for many years, it's obviously indicated that Tahir was a criminal for many years.
