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.
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. Teft reported the Envisagers to the citylord, after which a trial was held for them; all of them were executed, including Teft's father, whom he watched being hanged.{{book ref|sa2|71}}
 
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 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 ===
{{image|As Rough As Shalebark by Connor Chamberlain.jpg|width=300px|side=right}}
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|twoksa1|38}} After committing an infraction, he was transferred to [[Bridge Four]],{{book ref|twoksa1|11}} where [[Kaladin]] befriended him. He ended up in Kaladin's inner circle along with [[Rock]], actively helping him in his plans.
 
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|twoksa1|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|twoksa1|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|twoksa1|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|twoksa1|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|twoksa1|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|twoksa1|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|twoksa1|67}}
 
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|twoksa1|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.{{book ref|twoksa1|63}}
 
=== Dalinar's Honor Guard ===
After [[Dalinar]] traded [[Oathbringer]] for the lives of the bridgemen, Teft joined with the rest of Bridge Four as his personal guard.{{book ref|twoksa1|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}}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 noa 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}}
 
Teft wasn't getting anywhere with training the former bridgemen,{{book ref|sa2|5}} prompting Kaladin, Rock, and Teft to take the group of trainees into the chasms; this helped the new recruits feel included and opened them up to show interest in the trianing.{{book ref|sa2|9}} On one of the regular trips to the chasms they began making, Teft left the trainees under [[Drehy]]'s direction and came to speak with Kaladin, who asked him more about the Radiants and observed that he became much more dour when speaking about his past.{{book ref|sa2|12}}
 
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 the next time they were together, when Kaladin came to initiate Bridge Seventeen in the chasms, but Teft didn't want to talk about it. After the two got back to Bridge Four's fire that evening, Teft went out again with a small group from Bridge Four.{{book ref|sa2|41}}
 
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 on an expedition onto the Shattered Plains 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 their return, never doubting that they would return. On one of these watches he discussed his past among the Envisagers with [[Sigzil]] while they played [[Michim]]. In Kaladin's absence, the crew made him their leader and looked to him for daily assignments, though he managed to be on nearly every shift out by the chasms. Dalinar 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}}
 
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}}
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.
