Eventually, Teft joined [[Torol Sadeas|Sadeas]]' army as a spearman. His squadmembers there convinced him to try [[firemoss]], which began a life-long addiction.{{book ref|sa3|41}} He became a sergeant and made his way to the [[Shattered Plains]], where he was sent to the [[Bridge crew|bridge crews]] as a punishment. After some other camp infraction, Teft was transferred to [[Bridge Four]],{{book ref|sa1|11}} where [[Kaladin]] befriended him.{{book ref|sa1|21}} He ended up in Kaladin's inner circle along with [[Rock]], actively helping him in his plans.{{book ref|sa1|23}}{{book ref|sa1|27}}
Teft was the first to suspect Kaladin might be able to use [[Stormlight]]. He confirmed this suspicion by (amongst other things) pushing a dun [[spheres|sphere]] into Kaladin's hand, claiming it to be "for luck," just before Kaladin was to be left outside alone to face "the judgement of the [[Stormfather]]" by way of the [[highstorm]].{{book ref|sa1|34}} After the storm, the sphere in Kaladin's hand appeared to be dun, even though it should have been [[infuse|infused]] with light by the highstorm.{{book ref|sa1|35}} Teft was almost certain that this meant Kaladin had the ability to use Stormlight. While Kaladin was recovering from his wounds and fever after the highstorm, Teft brought three small infused diamond spheres and pressed them into Kaladin's hand, waiting anxiously to see what would happen. When Teft had nearly lost hope of being right about the events and their meaning, Kaladin drew in a short powerful breath, infusing himself with Stormlight, and began to glow from the leaking Stormlight.{{book ref|sa1|38}} Teft, knowing there was a healing effect to Stormlight, repeated this treatment enough to save Kaladin's life but not to draw suspicion from the other bridgemen. Ten days after surviving the highstorm, Kaladin was well enough to get up.{{book ref|sa1|40}}
=== Occupation of Urithiru ===
Teft dropped unconscious suddenly in the middle of their conversation,{{book ref|sa4|39}} the result of [[Raboniel]] successfully activating the [[Sibling]]'s defenses with [[Voidlight]] such that it suppressed Radiant powers while still allowing [[Voidbinding]].{{book ref|sa4|38}} Kaladin felt disoriented for a moment, but he immediately moved to check on Teft, whom he assumed was having either a stroke or a severe aftereffect of withdrawal from firemoss. They decided to take Teft to the [[Order of Edgedancers|Edgedancer]] clinic, so Kaladin carried him as Rlain led the way. After discovering all of the Edgedancers unconscious too, they took Teft up to Lirin's clinic. Syl appeared and confirmed that she couldn't see Phendorana anywhere either.{{book ref|sa4|39}}
As Kaladin fed Teft some broth at Lirin's clinic, he observed that Teft seemed closer to waking than the [[Stoneward]] who was also unconscious in the room. He listened to his father tell him that the best way to help the Radiants was to back down and fill his role as a surgeon; Kaladin agreed with him up until a [[Regal]] and a warform soldier came to take Teft to the infirmary where the other Radiants were. Kaladin attacked the two enemy soldiers, killing the Regal and sending the other running.{{book ref|sa4|43}} He took the still unconscious Teft on his back and fled to a hidden room at the direction of the Sibling.{{book ref|sa4|44}} Kaladin retrieved supplies to feed and clean Teft, and after [[Dabbid]] found them later, he helped care for the man too.{{book ref|sa4|49}}{{book ref|sa4|55}}{{book ref|sa4|63}} When Dabbid and [[Rlain]] brought [[Lift]] to the hidden room to heal Kaladin, she nonchalantly healed Teft too; Teft woke up in time to greet Kaladin as he awoke from the nightmares [[Odium]] had given him while he was feverish from an infected wound.{{book ref|sa4|85}}

}}
Teft is the first [[bridgeman]] Kaladin approaches to ask for support in his plans for [[Bridge Four]],{{book ref|sa1|21}} and he is also the first to suspect Kaladin's nature as a [[Knight Radiant]], a suspicion that pays off by saving Kaladin's life.{{book ref|sa1|38}} Kaladin in turn suspects that Teft has been a soldier and tricks him into revealing it in the chasms;{{book ref|sa1|49}} later, Teft easily falls into the role of Kaladin's sergeant as he begins turning the bridgemen into soldiers.{{book ref|sa2|2}}{{book ref|sa3|46}} Kaladin is concerned about Teft when he begins disappearing on [[firemoss]] binges, but he respects Teft's privacy enough to lay off the issue until it becomes a serious problem.{{book ref|sa2|41}}{{book ref|sa3|41}} Both men take Teft's position as Kaladin's sergeant seriously, meaning that Kaladin listens to Teft's advice at times when he would rather not{{book ref|sa4|9}} and Teft knows to balance not letting Kaladin go into situations totally alone with not correcting him sometimes when he is wrong.{{book ref|sa4|23}}{{book ref|sa4|91}} Teft feels a sense of proprietary pride when he sees Kaladin still fighting after all that has dragged him down.{{book ref|sa4|103}}
