<pre>{{for|/Gallery|more images}}</pre>
Teft is long past his twenties. He has tan skin, drooping cheeks, brown eyes with an [[wikipedia:epicanthic fold|epicanthic fold]], and close-cropped, grizzled white-salted hair.{{book ref|twok|11}} He keeps a neat, short and square beard that is light brown mixed with patches of gray. Teft is often blunt and speaks in a matter-of-fact tone. He is also observant and thoughtful towards the other members of Bridge Four.{{book ref|sa1|63}}
 
Teft has harbored a [[firemoss]] addiction since his time in [[Torol Sadeas|Sadeas]]' army, which is a deep cause of personal shame and grief. Even after bonding an [[Honorspren]], he harbors feelings of inadequacy and shame, believing that he is incapable of upholding the ideals of a Radiant due his past actions.
== Attributes and Abilities ==
=== Surgebinding ===
As a Windrunner Teft has the ability to manipulate the Surges of [[Adhesion]] and [[Gravitation]] through his Nahel bond with his [[honorspren]].{{book ref|sa1|57}} By breathing in Stormlight, he gains superhuman strength, speed, agility, durability, stamina, and healing, as long as he has access to Stormlight.{{book ref|sa1|62}} While his honorspren is present with him, his movements are enhanced by her, an effect which Kaladin describes as "being guided by the wind." This gives Teft a superior natural fighting talent, although it does not replace skill by itself.{{book ref|sa2|52}} After Teft swore the third Ideal of the Windrunners, his honorspren gained the ability to become a Shardblade. Unlike the dead Blades left after the [[Recreance]], he can summon it in the form of any weapon he chooses, as well as a shield, and transform it from one to another almost instantaneously.{{book ref|sa2|86}}

== History ==
=== Early Life ===
Teft was born in [[Alethkar]] to a family that belonged to a cult known as the [[Envisagers]]. They believed if they could find a way to return the [[Voidbringer]]s, the [[Knights Radiant]] would return as well. Envisagers purposefully put their lives in danger, inhoping orderthat tothey would manifest [[Surgebinding]] powers. Teft's mother died in one of these attempts. Teft reported the Envisagers to the citylord, andafter which a trial was held for them with; all of them beingwere executed, including Teft's father, whom he watched being hanged.{{book ref|sa2|71}}
 
Eventually, Teft joined the army as a spearman. He became a sergeant, and made his way to the [[Shattered Plains]]. He was sent to the bridge crews as a punishment, and after camp infractions transferred to [[Bridge Four]].{{book ref|sa1|11}}
=== Bridge Four ===
{{image|As Rough As Shalebark by Connor Chamberlain.jpg|width=300px|side=right}}
Teft ended up in the bridge crews of [[Shattered Plains|Sadeas's warcamp]] on the [[Shattered Plains]]. He blamed himself for destroying the Envisagers.{{book ref|twok|38}} <!--- and the death of his brother, and considered suicide in the pits. ... I don't find anything in the book about this statement and think that this has been mixed up with Kaladin ---> After committing an infraction, he was transferred to [[Bridge Four]],{{book ref|twok|11}} where [[Kaladin]] befriended him. He ended up in Kaladin's inner circle along with [[Rock]], actively helping him in his plans.
 
Teft was the first to suspect Kaladin might be able to use [[Stormlight]], saving Kaladin's life in the process. He learned this by (amongst other things) pushing a dun [[spheres|sphere]] into Kaladin's hand, claiming it to be "for luck," just before Kaladin was to be left outside alone to face "the judgement of the [[Stormfather]]" by way of the [[highstorm]].{{book ref|twok|34}} After the storm, the sphere Kaladin had been given still appeared to still be dun, even though it should have been [[infuse|infused]] with light by the highstorm.{{book ref|twok|35}} ThatTeft meantwas Kaladinalmost had "stolen" the lightcertain that infusedthis the sphere, which left Teft almost certain thatmeant Kaladin had the ability to use Stormlight, andmeaning he was part of the events the Envisagers had been waiting for. WhenWhile Kaladin was recovering from his wounds and fever after the highstorm, Teft brought three small infused diamond spheres and pressed them into Kaladin's hand, waiting anxiously to see what would happen. When Teft had nearly lost hope of being right about the events and their meaning, Kaladin drew in a short powerful breath, infusing himself with Stormlight, and began to glow from the leaking Stormlight.{{book ref|twok|38}} Teft, knowing there was a healing effect to the Stormlight, repeated this treatment enough so as not to draw suspicion from the other bridgemen. Ten days after the hanging insurviving the highstorm, Kaladin arosewas well enough to get up.{{book ref|twok|40}}

These revelations sparked a heavy curiosity in Teft, promptingand questionshe thatbegan indirectlyasking askedleading questions to see if Kaladin was willing to discuss his use of Stormlight, or if he was even aware of his own abilities. At one point, Kaladin was handed a bag of infused spheres. Teft then threw a surprise punch at Kaladin, causing him to causeinhale areflexively; reflexiveKaladin infusion,noticed whichhis worked,familiar surge of strength and ledfocus, and both Kaladinhe and [[Lopen]] to noticenoticed the soft glow coming from Kaladin's skin; Kaladin also noticed his familiar surge of strength and focus.{{book ref|twok|57}} After time passed and they were both certain of Kaladin's abilities., Teft, Lopen (who had also become privy to the secret), and, to some degree, [[Syl]] worked with Kaladin to help him understand and trigger his newfound powers. HeTeft shared with Kaladin what he knew about the Radiants and their ways from his youth in the Envisagers. He was also the one to tell Kaladin the words of the First Ideal.{{book ref|twok|59}} Kaladin seemed to almost (whether by instinct or experience is not clear) to understand the meaning and reasoning behind the words, and once spoke them just before infusing himself with Stormlight. Later, after Kaladin spoke the Second Ideal and a thunder-like sound was heard, Teft understood it to be something in the world changing.{{book ref|twok|67}}
 
During his many conversations with Kaladin, Teft repeatedly stated that he wasn't trustworthy. This was most likely either because of the events that lead to the fall of the Envisagers or because of his firemoss addiction (which was not revealed until much later).
 
Kaladin discovered Teft had military experience and was a sergeant before becoming a bridgeman.{{book ref|twok|46}} He became invaluable to Kaladin's leadership by playingacting as sergeant to Kaladin's captain and by taking command when asked, when ordered, or during times when Kaladin was indisposed. His military experience was never divulged in great detail, as the history of bridgemen's personal lives seemed to be their most guarded secret.{{book ref|twok|63}}
 
After [[Dalinar]] traded [[Oathbringer]] for the lives of the bridgemen, Teft joined with the rest of Bridge Four as his personal guard.{{book ref|twok|73}} Kaladin created a command structure among the former bridge crews he was going to train into guards, making Teft a lieutenant and putting him in overall charge of training.{{book ref|wor|2}} Bridge Four went to get tattoos to cover up the slave brands that most of them had on their foreheads, and Teft got one too, despite the fact that he had no slave brand. He was the first to speak up for [[Rlain|Shen]] when the tattooist objected to serving him.
Teft joined with the rest of Bridge Four as [[Dalinar Kholin]]'s personal guard.{{book ref|twok|73}}
