Teft ended up in the bridge crews, in Highprince [[Sadeas]] warcamp, on the [[Shattered Plains]]. He blames himself for destroying the Envisagers.{{ref|b|twok|c|38}} <!--- and the death of his brother, and considered suicide in the pits. ... I don't find anything in the book about this statement and think that this has been mixed up with Kaladin ---> After committing infraction he was transfer to [[Bridge Four]],{{ref|b|twok|c|11}} where [[Kaladin]] befriended him and he ended up in his inner circle along with [[Rock]], actively helping him in his plans.
 
Teft was the first to suspect [[Kaladin]] might be able to use [[stormlight]], saving [[Kaladin]]'s life in the process. He learned this by (amongst other things) pushing two infused diamond [[spheres]] into [[Kaladin]]'s hand just before he was left outside alone to face "the judgement of the [[Stormfather]]" by way of the [[Highstorm]]. After that storm the [[spheres]] had lost their [[stormlight]]. Teft was almost certain at that point that [[Kaladin]] had the ability to [[infuse]] [[stormlight]]. Teft knew the status of the [[stormlight]] in the [[spheres]] prior to the storm, and also, that [[Highstorms]] are the means by which light infuses in the first place, which would leave the spheres infused afterwards. That meant [[Kaladin]] had "stolen" the light that once infused the diamond spheres and that Kaladin was part of the events the [[Envisagers]] had been waiting for. These revelations sparked a heavy curiosity in Teft, prompting questions that indirectly asked if [[Kaladin]] was willing to discuss his use of stormlight, or if he was aware of his own abilities. At one point, [[Kaladin]] was handed a bag of infused spheres., Teft then threw a surprise punch at Kaladin to cause a reflexive infusion, which worked, and led both [[Kaladin]] and [[Lopen]] to notice the soft glow coming from [[Kaladin]]'s skin. Not to mention [[Kaladin]] realizing his familiar surge of strength and focus. After time passed and they were both certain of [[Kaladin]]'s abilities. Teft with the aid of Lopen, (seeing as he had become privy to the secret) and to some degree [[Syl]], worked with Kaladin to help understand and trigger his new found powers. {{ref|b|twok|c|38}} He shared with Kaladin what he knew about [[Knights Radiant|Radiants]] and their ways, from his youth in the [[Envisagers]].{{ref|b|twok|c|43}}
 
During his many conversations with [[Kaladin]] he states time and again he isn't to be trusted. Either due to the events that lead to the fall of the [[Envisagers]], or some other unknown event.
