Teylan

Like the other children, Teylan was kidnapped from the Sarentu clan during the slaughter of the Sarentu moot in 2138 by John Mercer and Angela Harding when he was a young child and forced to participate in the TAP program. Being the youngest of the survivors, his memories start at TAP. He is said to be the best student of the Sarentu children by far,[2] and answered the teachers' questions correctly, and began to develop an affinity for human science and technology. At night, he often had nightmares about his kidnapping, and according to Nor, he screamed in his sleep in the Na'vi language. Teylan also once wet his bed and was beaten by Mercer, and the bruises took weeks to heal. At the same time, Teylan was the only child who believed John Mercer's propaganda, convinced that the man had saved them. This exposed him to the displeasure of his peers. Being Mercer's star pupil, Teylan began to view him as a father figure. Mercer groomed him into feeling special and he would withdraw affection whenever Teylan showed interest in Na'vi culture. In 2146, at Aha'ri's instigation, he and his friends attempted to escape the RDA base, but were stopped by Mercer. In 2154, after a forced evacuation due to Jake Sully's rebellion, Mercer ordered the children killed. They were saved by their teacher Alma Cortez, who personally killed the soldiers sent by Mercer and then put the children into hibernation. In 2169, Teylan and the rest of the group awakened and were taken under the wing of the Resistance. Having arrived at the Resistance HQ some time before the protagonist, he accompanied him in a conversation with Alma, who confessed that they had been in hibernation for almost 16 years, this information surprised Teylan.

Characters

Teylan

As the youngest of the Sarentu children, Teylan's memories start at TAP. As he grew older, he developed an affinity for human science and technology. By far the best of the Sarentu students, his passion was rewarded by Mercer, which further separated him from the rest of the Sarentu kids. Mercer groomed him into feeling special, but was quick to withdraw affection if Teylan ever showed interest in Na'vi culture.
After Teylan was woken from cryosleep, he was recovered by the Resistance. Now based in their HQ, he helps as much as he can if that means ensuring humans are not in danger. He enjoys his new human home, as he finds little comfort in wild Pandora.
Teylan is a lean young Na’vi with deep blue skin and faint glowing freckles. His bright, observant eyes give him a curious look. He wears his dark hair in a simple braid, often decorated with small tokens, and carries himself with a mix of alertness and quiet uncertainty.
