Tahir

Tahir is the secondary antagonist of ''Dying Light. ''He serves as Rais's right-hand man, chief enforcer and one of the two sub-leaders of the bandit faction alongside Karim. He is responsible for commanding and coordinationing air drop recovery parties, tax payments and such.

Background
Accordingly, a survivor named Ibrahim, who reveals information to Kyle Crane, used to be in the same prison cell with Tahir for many years, indicitating that Tahir was a criminal during his previous years. He explained that Tahir survived and thrived behind bars and even unleashed a kind of brutality "one sees among animals". One time, a five-man group armed with shanks tried to cut Tahir's throat, but he successfully overwhelmed and brutally damaged the group with their own weapons to the point where the group had to be identified by dental records. He concludes for Crane to be cautious with Tahir as he is a "beast in the shape of a man".

Dying Light
In the early story, Tahir first encountered Kyle Crane after he and his men mistaken Crane for an airdrop. After warning Crane about his firearm drawing noises, him and his men catch him off guard and beat him up until Crane kills one of his men with his sidearm, resulting in Tahir and the remaining bandits to retreat.

During Pact with Rais, Tahir haults Crane, believing him to be another survivor due to his changed clothing, while Rais is busy dealing with Osman. While Rais severs one of Osman's hands with a Hook Blade, Tahir questions Crane if he had seen him before, in which no response occurs. After Rais speaks, Tahir tells Crane to talk to Karim about receiving Antizin.

In Sibling, Tahir and his men are heard hauling crates of explosives for hours from the school. While Crane and Jade Aldemir watch, they see Tahir initially holding some survivors hostage after a vehicle is driven to the parking lot. After the hostages try to escape, Tahir shoots all of them down with his pistol and escapes in the vehicle. Tahir reappears during The Pit, where he is seen drawing his sidearm at Zere's head as him and Rais take Zere and Crane hostage.

Tahir's final appearance is during The Musuem, where he is sent down to kill Crane after he respectfully kills the infected Jade. From this point, Tahir is served as a boss fight, where the player must defeat him. After defeating him and some of the bandits, Tahir is shown resting up against a pillar, with part of Zere's research next to him. While Crane searches for the research, Tahir refuses information about it. In the end, Tahir is finally killed by Crane when his throat is slashed with his own machete.
