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 twoa infused diamonddun [[spheres|sphere]] into Kaladin's hand just before he was left outside alone to face "the judgement of the [[Stormfather]]" by way of the [[Highstormhighstorm]]. After that storm thethat spheressphere hadwas dun again lostthough theirit stormlightshould have been infused due to being left outside in a highstorm. 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 spheressphere 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 ifWhen Kaladin was willingrecovering to discussfrom his usewounds ofand stormlight,fever orafter ifthe hehighstorm wasTeft awarebrought ofthree hissmall owndiamond abilities.spheres Atand onepressed point,them into Kaladin's washand, handedwaiting aanxious bagwhat ofwould infusedhappen. spheres,When Teft thennearly threwthought ahe surprisewas punch atwrong, Kaladin todrew causein a reflexiveshort infusion,powerful which worked,breath and led both Kaladin and [[Lopen]]began to noticeleak the soft glow coming from Kaladin's skinstormlight.

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 Radiants and their ways, from his youth in the Envisagers.{{ref|b|twok|c|43}}
During his many conversations with Kaladin he statesstated 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.
Kaladin discoversdiscovered Teft hashad military experience and was a sergeant before becoming a bridgeman. He becomesbecame invaluable to Kaladin's leadership, by playing sargent to Kaladin's captain, for instance when asked, ordered, or during times Kaladin is indisposed, Teft assumesassumed command of the bridgemen. His military experience iswas never divulged in great detail, as the history of bridgemen's personal lives seemsseemed to be their most guarded secret. Kaladin and Teft arewere of the most avid practitioners of this concept. It iswas also a respected social contract, none prying more than a single question or two, into the past of their bridge mates.
Teft iswas currently joined with the rest of Bridge Four, serving as [[Dalinar Kholin]]'s personal guard.{{ref|b|twok|c|73}}
