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 isnurses alsoa 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 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.{{book ref|sa3|41}}

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, asfor longthe asduration heof hashis access to Stormlight.{{book ref|sa1|62}} While his honorspren is present with him, his movements are enhanced by her, an effect which Kaladin describes as "being guided by the wind." This gives Teft a superior natural fighting talent, although it does not replace skill by itself.{{book ref|sa2|52}} After Teft sworeswears the third Ideal of the Windrunners, his honorspren gainedgains 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}}

As a Knight Radiant who has access to two Surges, heTeft also has a [[resonance]].{{wob ref|1296}} Windrunners, such as Teft, have an increased number of squires, more than any other order, as their resonance.{{wob ref|915}} Teft's squires include the entire crew of [[Bridge Thirteen]].{{book ref|sa3|122}}

Eventually, Teft joined [[Sadeas]]' army as a spearman. His squadmembers there convinced him to try [[firemoss]], which began a life-long addiction.{{book ref|sa3|41}} He became a sergeant, and made his way to the [[Shattered Plains]]., Hewhere he was sent to the [[Bridge crew|bridge crews]] as a punishment, and. afterAfter some other camp infraction, Teft was transferred to [[Bridge Four]],{{book ref|sa1|11}} where [[Kaladin]] befriended him.{{book ref|sa1|21}} He ended up in Kaladin's inner circle along with [[Rock]], actively helping him in his plans.{{book ref|sa1|23}}{{book ref|sa1|27}}

Teft was the first to suspect Kaladin might be able to use [[Stormlight]], saving Kaladin's life in the process. He learnedconfirmed this suspicion 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 in Kaladin's had been given stillhand 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 soto save Kaladin's life asbut 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 heTeft 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 Kaladindivulge the words of the First Ideal.{{book ref|sa1|59}}to Kaladin, who 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|6759}}

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 [[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}}

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 [[ImmortalOrder Wordsof 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}}
