Taph wears the hood of the International Order of Builders along with a bandit mask, with his face hidden beneath the hood's shadow. He is dressed in black robes adorned with yellow stripes and markings. Two lines of runes outline the robe's opening, while another pair forms a black diamond-shaped pattern extending from the neck to the elbow and back up to the neck on the rear side. He also wears a black belt with a yellow buckle and a yellow pouch on the right side of his waist marked with a black "A".

⸙͎ ˀˀ Tripwire

Taph places a tripwire on the ground to hinder the Killer and alert nearby Survivors. Each Taph can have up to 3 active tripwires at once; placing a fourth will automatically remove the oldest one.

When the Killer triggers a tripwire:

• All Survivors, including Taph, can see the Killer's aura for 8 seconds.• The Killer is afflicted with Slowness II for 4 seconds.

⸙͎ ˀˀ Subspace Tripmine

Taph arms a subspace tripmine and throws it onto the ground. Once deployed, the mine becomes semi-invisible, briefly revealing itself every 13 seconds with a faint purple glow and an audio cue.

When a Killer comes within 16 studs, the mine activates after 0.4 seconds, inflicting Helplessness I for 5 seconds and Subspace III, which applies a dark pink visual filter and forcibly redirects the Killer's camera for 5 seconds. If Taph is within the blast radius, he is also affected by Subspace III and Helplessness I. The Subspace Tripmine can be detonated prematurely if struck by a Killer's attack.

Taph is a Stealth/Preparation support character whose moveset revolves around placing traps for the Killer, especially with his Tripwire and Subspace Tripmine, benefiting both himself and other Survivors. During a chase, if a Killer crosses a Tripwire without attacking it, their movement speed is reduced, making it easier for the target to escape. The Subspace Tripmine is even more punishing: if a Killer enters its range and does not attack the mine to mitigate the detonation, they become disoriented and their screen flashes brightly (or darkens depending on settings), potentially causing them to lose sight of their target.

In the story of FORSAKEN, Taph was a ruthless vigilante who assisted Roblox administrators, especially Builderman, by destroying unmoderated experiences. Although he was never officially employed, Taph believed that Builderman saw him as his second-in-command. When protests erupted over the collateral damage caused by these demolitions, public outrage turned against Taph. Hunted by furious Roblox users, Taph set traps around his home to defend himself from intruders.
