− | During the first assault at [[Rathalas]], 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 [[Shardplate|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, Teleb obeyed orders to have the scouts imprisoned and to 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}} |

− | As Dalinar returned from the [[Battle of the Tower]], he sent a message to Teleb that he should bring the entire camp to alert and mobilize the remaining soldiers, preparing for anything.{{book ref|sa1|69}} At a later point, Adolin gave Teleb use of the Plate he won from his duel with [[Eranniv]], which he subsequently painted silver and wielded along with a [[Shardhammer]].{{book ref|sa2|51}}{{book ref|sa2|78}} |
||
⚫ | Teleb also 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.{{book ref|sa1|26}} Because the chull-drawn bridges would be needed for the assault furthermore Teleb tried to design a new kind of bridge but his first attempt failed and the bridge didn't stand the weight of the chulls.{{book ref|sa1|28}} |

||
− | Teleb served in his position as Highlord on the expedition to find [[Urithiru]]. He alerted Dalinar to [[Rlain]]'s approach, though Rlain refused to speak to him and only answered Dalinar's questions.{{book ref|sa2|78}}{{book ref|sa2|79}} Teleb was given command of [[Sebarial]]'s army during the [[Battle of Narak]], but he died in the conflict while supporting [[Roion]]'s troops.{{book ref|sa2|81}}{{book ref|sa2|82}} The King's [[Shardblade|Blade]] he was wielding was recovered by [[Captain Khal]], although his Plate was lost.{{book ref|sa2|83}} |
||
+ | 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.{{book ref|sa1|69}} |
||
− | 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. Seemingly this was 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}} |
||
+ | He was killed during the [[Battle of Narak]]{{book ref|sa2|82}}, his blade recovered by [[captain Khal]].{{book ref|sa2|83}} |
||
− | == Trivia == |
||
− | * Teleb's character has several similarities to [[Wikipedia: Jebe|Jebe]], one of the great generals of the Mongol army during the 1200s. These include that Jebe, as an enemy of Genghis Khan, shot him in the neck. After being brought to Genghis, he promised to serve him loyally. |
