Tellah is also one of the weakest playable characters in the game. When he goes up a level, his stats will decrease instead of increase.
Cecil Harvey, the Dark Knight, and Rydia, the Summoner, first encounter Tellah in the Water Cavern outside of Kaipo. Though Cecil and Rydia are searching for a cure for the desert fever, in hopes of healing Cecil's friend Rosa Farrell, and Tellah is trying to confront his daughter about her elopement with the bard Edward Chris von Muir, they decide to join forces, in hopes of defeating the monster blocking the way to the Kingdom of Damcyan.
After making it through the cave, the three friends witness Damcyan Castle being attacked by Baron's fleet of airships, the Red Wings, led by the evil Golbez. They rush into the castle, only to find Anna dying. She explains that she eloped because she knew she would never receive her father's consent. She also shares that Edward is the prince and future king of Damcyan. After she dies, Edward says that Anna shielded him from Baron's arrows. His parents were also killed in the seige, trying to protect their Crystal from Golbez. In an outrage, Tellah leaves the party, swearing to kill Golbez. Edward then joins Cecil and Rydia in their search for a Rosa's cure.
Later, when Cecil, Rydia, and Edward are travelling to Baron, they are shipwrecked and separated. Cecil arrives in Tellah's hometown, Mysidia. The Elder of Mysidia tells Cecil that the only way to conquer Golbez is by becoming a Paladin. He sends the twins Palom and Porom with Cecil to Mt. Ordeals. There, they meet Tellah, who is searching for a way to learn the Meteo (Meteor) spell. When they reach the top of the mountain, a mysterious light allows Cecil to become a Paladin. The light also returns Tellah's memory of his spells, including Meteo.
Eventually, Cecil and Tellah encounter Golbez in the Tower of Zot. Tellah sacrifices his life by using Meteo. Golbez, however, survives his attack, but his power over Cecil's friend Kain Highwind is weakened. Before the final battle, Tellah's ghost appears before the party to revive their strength that was drained by Zemus.
