=== 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, hoping that they would manifest [[Surgebinding]] powers. Teft's mother died in one of these attempts
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 joined
Teft was the first to suspect Kaladin might be able to use [[Stormlight]]
{{sidequote
|An empty sphere after a storm, he thought. And a man who's still alive when he should be dead. Two impossibilities.

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
Kaladin discovered Teft had military experience and was a sergeant before becoming a bridgeman.{{book ref|sa1|46}} He became invaluable to Kaladin's leadership by acting 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, although it was sufficient to convince Kaladin that Teft was able to conduct the daily training in the chasms. Teft tried to convince Kaladin to join in, but he refused to hold a spear.{{book ref|sa1|63}}
After the disaster of the side-carry that lead to Kaladin being strung up in a highstorm, he devised a new way to protect Bridge Four: wearing armor made from the corpses of the [[Parshendi]], scavenged in the chasms, to draw the enemy's attention to himself. The first time he tried this, he gave Teft orders to lead the group on an escape attempt that night if his idea failed.{{book ref|sa1|62}} Because the idea worked well, they bided their time until the [[Battle of the Tower|assault on the Tower]] to attempt an escape. Teft was wounded on the initial approach,{{book ref|sa1|65}} and after Kaladin patched him up, [[Rock]] and [[Peet]] helped him walk as they retreated with the rest of Sadeas' army.{{book ref|sa1|66}} After Bridge Four abandoned their chance to escape by returning to the Tower in aid of [[Dalinar]]'s army, Teft was able to return the favor by pulling arrows out of Kaladin's arm and settling him in a safe place.{{book ref|sa1|67}} He helped push the bridge into place, then took charge of the crew while a freshly healed Kaladin, who had just sworn the Second Ideal, went after Dalinar.{{book ref|sa1|68}}
That evening, after Dalinar secured the lives of Sadeas' bridgemen, Teft spoke with the rest of Bridge Four about the Radiants and Kaladin's abilities.{{book ref|sa1|73}}
