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}}
 
Teleb was given command of [[Sebarial]]'s army during the [[Battle of Narak]], though he died in the conflict.{{book ref|sa2|81}}{{book ref|sa2|82}} The King's Blade he was wielding was recovered by [[Captain Khal]], though his Plate was lost.{{book ref|sa2|83}}
 
During the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], [[Odium]] brought up Dalinar's memory of killing Yezriar as part of his attempt to make Dalinar give in to him, presumably because Dalinar's high regard for Teleb caused him to realize Yezriar must have been a very good man to hold Teleb's loyalty.{{book ref|sa3|118}}
