Teft is an older man with tan skin and drooping cheeks. He has brown eyes with an [[wikipedia:epicanthic fold|epicanthic fold]] and close-cropped, grizzled white-salted hair.{{book ref|sa1|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 nurses a deep-seated grudge against [[lighteyes]]{{book ref|sa3|46}} but is observant and thoughtful towards the other members of Bridge Four{{book ref|sa1|63}}{{book ref|sa3|55}} and is also a natural leader.{{book ref|sa2|9}}
Teft has harbored a [[firemoss]] addiction since his time in [[Torol Sadeas|Sadeas]]' army,{{book ref|sa3|41}} which is a deep cause of personal shame and grief; during his many conversations with Kaladin, Teft repeatedly states that he isn't trustworthy.{{book ref|sa2|12}} Even after bonding
== 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 for the duration of his access to Stormlight.{{book ref|sa1|62}} While his [[Phendorana|honorspren]] is present with him, his movements are enhanced by her. This gives Teft a superior natural fighting talent, although it does not replace skill by itself.{{book ref|sa2|52}} After Teft swears the third Ideal of the Windrunners, his honorspren gains 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}}

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, [[Phendorana]].{{book ref|sa3|41}}{{book ref|sa4|23}} 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}}
After Kaladin left for the expedition to [[Kholinar]], Dalinar delivered the [[honorblade]] Kaladin had recovered from Szeth to Bridge Four. This allowed them, albeit one at a time, to gain and practice with the powers of a Windrunner even without Kaladin's presence.{{book ref|sa3|64}} Teft let Rock take the honorblade first, but during the time they had possession of the sword they randomly switched around who carried it so that no one trying to steal it could know whom to target. They continued acting as guards to the Kholins among their other duties; [[Navani]] got news of Kholinar's fall and the likely demise of Kaladin's group, but when she informed Bridge Four of the group's trouble, Teft laughed at the suggestion that Kaladin might be dead. They, as representatives of the Radiants, attended the first 'meeting of monarchs' at Urithiru.{{book ref|sa3|96}}

As Teft ran through Urithiru, trying to find a place to hide,
After they defeated the invading force, Teft appeared in the middle of the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]] on Thaylen City's Oathgate with a division of Alethi soldiers and the rest of Bridge Four, whose Windrunner powers were restored thanks to Kaladin's proximity. They chased a group of [[Fused]] away from the Oathgate and kept the area secure until the conflict was over.{{book ref|sa3|120}} Kaladin sought out Teft after the battle, and they spoke together briefly about what it was like to swear the Ideals before Bridge Four began helping fly the wounded from the city's triage station to the Oathgate.{{book ref|sa3|121}} Bridge Thirteen became Teft's squires sometime during or shortly after the conflict, and he at some point discussed the personal words of his Third Oath with the rest of Bridge Four.{{book ref|sa3|122}}{{book ref|sa3.5|epilogue}} Over the following year, most of Teft's squires became Radiants themselves.{{book ref|sa4|12}}
=== Still a Sergeant ===

Navani and Kaladin discussed sending Teft with [[Rysn]] on her expedition to [[Akinah]], but they ultimately decided against it due to the possibility of the presence of [[Odium]]'s forces on the island. If that were true, the coalition didn't want their enemies to have access to a living Shardblade and therefore to be able to unlock the Oathgate and access Urithiru.{{book ref|sa3.5|13}}
Teft accompanied the force from Urithiru that went to evacuate [[Hearthstone]]. After Kaladin's pursuit of [[Leshwi]] failed, Teft flew over to receive instructions and to check on him, feeling concerned about how Kaladin had been looking lately. On Kaladin's orders, he returned to the Windrunners and instructed them to fight defensive engagements, not worrying over much about keeping the [[Fused]] away from the [[Fourth Bridge]].{{book ref|sa4|5}} On the trip back, Teft approached Kaladin again. Although Kaladin tried to rebuff him, he sat next to him anyway and made him listen to his suggestion that Kaladin go congratulate [[Laran]], who had just sworn the Third Ideal. They discussed [[Moash]] as well, but when Teft mentioned [[Renarin]] finding Kaladin frozen in battle, Kaladin stood up to go congratulate Laran. He flew the rest of the way to Urithiru on his own to escape Teft's questions.{{book ref|sa4|9}}

After Dalinar relieved Kaladin from active duty, Kaladin tried to make Teft companylord of the Windrunners; Teft vehemently opposed this idea, so Kaladin promoted [[Sigzil]] to the position instead.{{book ref|sa4|18}} Kaladin decided to become a surgeon and establish a clinic with his father; Teft, hearing of this, decided to withdraw from battle himself and become Kaladin's assisstant. Kaladin tried to talk him out of staying behind, but Teft was immovable on the subject; eventually Kaladin acknowledged that he was grateful to have Teft with him. Their first task they did together was to track down [[Noril]], a refugee woman's uncle whom [[Lirin]] had sent to the ardents for treatment for depression.{{book ref|sa4|23}}{{book ref|sa4|25}}
