<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,
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 ===

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}}
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
{{sidequote

}}
These revelations sparked a heavy curiosity in Teft,
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
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.
