History

Dalinar recruited Teleb into his elites when he attacked Teleb's home. Teleb was assigned by his brightlord Yezriar to assassinate Dalinar and shot him with an arrow from nearly 400 yards away. Dalinar was impressed by this feat and promptly gave him the choice of joining his army, which he agreed to in exchange for sparing his town from pillaging.[2]

During the first assault of the Rift, Teleb proved his worth by shooting the soldiers that were trying to drop Dalinar in the Rift by cutting the bridge from under him.[6] At a dinner when Gavilar was trying to convince Toh that the Alethi were strong enough to protect him and his sister, Dalinar made the point for him by walking over to another bunker in the midst of a highstorm to ask Teleb if he still had Dalinar's favorite knife.[4] Dalinar grew to regard Teleb highly enough that he was given use of Adolin's Plate, the Shards that Toh and Evi had brought with them as a bargaining chip, until Adolin was old enough to use the Plate himself.[7] A few years later, the next time the army was attacking the Rift, Teleb was in charge of directing the army and assigned a group of scouts to tail a large caravan that had just left Rathalas. When Dalinar went to investigate Tanalan's report that the caravan included an Alethi highprince, he left Teleb in charge of the army in his absence.[8] Teleb sent another team of scouts after Dalinar as soon as Tanalan turned on the Alethi forces, and the team reported that Dalinar's group had been ambushed and killed. Assuming Dalinar was dead, he then began planning for a siege to allow Gavilar time to arrive and seek vengeance on his brother's death. Upon Dalinar's arrival back at the camp and at his orders, Teleb had the scouts imprisoned and set the army's Soulcaster to making oil.[9] Teleb tried to talk Dalinar out of burning the city, but not very strongly, and he was disregarded.[10]

In the warcamps during the time of the Vengeance Pact, he was Dalinar's highofficer on duty when a chasmfiend was detected crawling up on a plateau only two hours away. When Dalinar decided to march, he had Teleb send for Adolin.[3]

Teleb suggested to Dalinar to think about using man-carried bridges to reach a contested plateau faster, but not using them for the assault itself. Though Dalinar hesitated about this idea, he told Teleb he may train one bridge crew for this purpose.[3] Because chull-drawn bridges would be needed for the assault, Teleb tried to design a new kind of bridge. His first attempt failed because the bridge didn't stand the weight of the chulls.[5]

When Dalinar returned after the Battle of the Tower he sent a message to Teleb that he should bring the entire camp to alert, preparing for anything though Dalinar hoped that it wouldn't be needed.[11]

He was killed during the Battle of Narak,[1] and his blade was recovered by Captain Khal.[12]
