=== Dalinar's Honor Guard ===

After [[Dalinar]] traded [[Oathbringer]] for the lives of Sadeas' bridgemen, Teft joined with the rest of Bridge Four as his personal guard.{{book ref|sa1|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. He directed Teft to begin by organizing the bridgemen into groups of forty, then training two from each group to act as sergeants to the rest of their men. Not long after, 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 never had a slave brand. He was the first to speak up for [[Rlain|Shen]] when the tattooist objected to serving him. As the group outfitted themselves in their new [[Cobalt Guard]] uniforms, Teft tried to talk Kaladin into showing Dalinar what he could do, but Kaladin refused outright. When the others cut the old guard's insignia out of the uniforms, Teft agreed with them that they weren't just replacements, they were their own crew: Bridge Four.{{book ref|sa2|2}}

 

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 onto the Shattered Plains on the expedition to allow Shallan to see a [[chasmfiend]] chrysalis.{{book ref|sa2|68}} After Kaladin and Shallan were lost into the chasms, Teft took shifts with the others watching for them, never doubting that they would return. On one of these watches he discussed his past among the Envisagers with [[Sigzil]] while they played [[Michim|michim]]. For the duration of Kaladin's absence, the crew made Teft their leader and looked to him for daily assignments, though he managed to be on nearly every shift out by the chasms. Dalinar came to visit at one point and made it clear that no one watching was to neglect caring for themselves in any way, causing Teft to wonder how Dalinar knew he had skipped breakfast to be out there.{{book ref|sa2|71}}

 

 

=== Windrunner ===

Teft continued to disappear from time to time without explanation of where he was going, though the other members of Bridge Four figured out about his addiction anyway.{{book ref|sa3|35}} Teft was driven to give in to his craving more and more the more money he earned from Dalinar. He at some point spoke the first two [[Order of Windrunners#Ideals of the Windrunners|oaths]] of a Windrunner, hoping it would take away his addiction, but quickly realized that it would not; because of his deep-rooted shame, he then hoped to drive away his spren.{{book ref|sa3|41}} After he missed the first training session when Kaladin borrowed the royal emerald reserve{{book ref|sa3|37}} because he had binged on firemoss the night before, Kaladin and Rock found him in a moss den, paid his tab, and brought him back to the barracks.{{book ref|sa3|41}} After that incident, Teft laid off firemoss use for a while and made sure his behavior seemed more normal to the others. He helped out at recruitment and training events, bringing Lyn over to Kaladin after she drew in Stormlight for the first time{{book ref|sa3|46}} and leading a group of Bridge Four members in aerial exercises.{{book ref|sa3|55}}

 

Teft and some other squires accompanied Dalinar as his guards when he went to [[Thaylen City]] to check on Amaram's progress helping rebuild the city; Teft was irritated enough by Amaram that he wanted to 'stab him a little.' There was another conference of several Rosharan nations in the city, and during the course of the gathering someone leaked information to each group in attendance that was calculated to undermine their trust in Dalinar.{{book ref|sa3|111}} Bridge Four was heavily affected by the news that the first Radiants destroyed their old world before coming to Roshar and that humans were in fact the [[Voidbringers]]; they were dispirited enough to leave Thaylen City for Urithiru to discuss the news with those of their members who hadn't come, leaving Dalinar behind.{{book ref|sa3|113}} Upon their return to Urithiru, Teft's spren appeared to him and alerted him to danger. They discovered Rock and [[Bisig]] injured and unconscious in the barracks while [[Eth]], the one who had the Honorblade that day, was dead. Bisig woke up enough to tell them that the reason they had been taken by surprise was the perpetrator had been wearing a Bridge Four lieutenant's coat. Teft realized that must have been the coat he had sold to afford a little more firemoss, and he ran from the barracks in shame.{{book ref|sa3|i14}}
