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
Teft was the first to suspect Kaladin might be able to use [[Stormlight]]

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. 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 returned to the Tower to aid [[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 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}}

After
Teft had a difficult time getting anywhere at first 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 training.{{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 Teft became much more dour when speaking about his past.{{book ref|sa2|12}}
