At some point Teft got married, though when and to whom is not clear; his wife had already died by the time he was a bridgeman.{{book ref|sa2|46}}

Eventually, Teft
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|sa1|34}} After the storm, the sphere Kaladin had been given still appeared to be dun, even though it should have been [[infuse|infused]] with light by the highstorm.{{book ref|sa1|35}} Teft was almost certain that this meant Kaladin had the ability to use Stormlight, meaning he was part of the events the Envisagers had been waiting for. While 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|sa1|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 surviving the highstorm, Kaladin was well enough to get up.{{book ref|sa1|40}}
These revelations sparked a heavy curiosity in Teft, and he began asking leading questions to see if Kaladin was willing to discuss his use of Stormlight, or if he was even aware of his abilities. At one point, Kaladin was handed a bag of infused spheres. Teft then threw a surprise punch at Kaladin, causing him to inhale reflexively; Kaladin noticed his familiar surge of strength and focus, and both he and [[Lopen]] noticed the soft glow coming from Kaladin's skin.{{book ref|sa1|57}} After time passed and they were both certain of Kaladin's abilities, Teft, Lopen, and [[Syl]] worked with Kaladin to help him understand and trigger his newfound powers. Teft 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|sa1|59}} Kaladin seemed 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|sa1|67}}
'''integrate later on?'''
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).
=== Dalinar's Honor Guard ===
After [[Dalinar]] traded [[Oathbringer]] for the lives of
Teft
As well as taking shifts guarding Dalinar and the King,{{book ref|sa2|16}}{{book ref|sa2|46}} Teft kept training the former bridgemen, sending daily reports to Kaladin and assessing when they were ready to begin patrolling the area outside of the warcamps.{{book ref|sa2|18}} He went on a patrol with Kaladin and the group of forty, then disappeared right after; this was the first of many such disappearances.{{book ref|sa2|31}} Kaladin confronted him about his disappearance
When Kaladin decided to take [[Zahel]] up on his offer to train him to fight with a [[Shardblade]], he took Teft, [[Moash]], and [[Yake]] with him; they handled a Blade and began training in the ten sword [[Stances|stances]] with wooden models. During a break in training, Teft mentioned to Kaladin that the circumstances around [[Shallan]]'s arrival looked suspicious, prompting Kaladin to investigate her further.{{book ref|sa2|44}}
Some of the other members of Bridge Four wanted to break Kaladin out when [[Elhokar]] imprisoned him for asking a [[King's Boon]], but Teft talked them out of it. He was with the crew when they witnessed Moash becoming a [[Shardbearer]], then led them back to the barrack to allow Kaladin a moment alone with Moash.{{book ref|sa2|66}}
Teft and Bridge Four carried their old bridge out
Immediately after Kaladin and Shallan's return, Dalinar, [[Roion]], [[Sebarial]], and [[Aladar]] left on the expedition that culminated in the [[Battle of Narak]] and the discovery of [[Urithiru]]. Teft and most of Bridge Four went with them, though he decided to leave Moash behind to watch over King Elhokar.{{book ref|sa2|76}} During the battle, Teft and the rest of Bridge Four kept close to Dalinar.{{book ref|sa2|81}} After Kaladin defeated Elhokar's assassins, he flew out to the army on the plains, saving Dalinar from [[Szeth]]'s Lashing and encountering Bridge Four, who gave him infused gems to recharge his Stormlight at Teft's command.{{book ref|sa2|86}} After Kaladin defeated the Assassin in White, he returned to the plateau where the [[Oathgate]] was and found Teft and the rest of the crew looking for him. Teft told him that [Rod]] had died, then commented that he had noticed some of the men glowing faintly right before Kaladin had arrived on the plains; he had been listening to readings of some of Dalinar's visions and thought that they were becoming [[Knights_Radiant#Squires|squires]] to Kaladin.{{book ref|sa2|87}}
