== History ==
Dalinar recruited Teleb
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.{{book ref|sa3|11}} 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.{{book ref|sa3|19}} 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.{{book ref|sa3|52}} 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.{{book ref|sa3|71}} 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.{{book ref|sa3|75}} Teleb tried to talk Dalinar out of burning the city, but not very strongly, and he was disregarded.{{book ref|sa3|76}}
In the [[Warcamp|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.{{book ref|sa1|26}}
