Tir.... In 300 years, you were my only... My only true friend.

—  Ted

Ted is the former owner of the Rune of Life and Death and a survivor of the destruction of the Village of the Hidden Rune. Ted acquired his rune at a young age, when Windy came to the Village of the Hidden Rune seeking the Rune of Life and Death. Ted's grandfather, the Village Chief passed it on to Ted. Ted was able to escape but was forced to wander for over 300 years, eventually being adopted by Teo McDohl.

Ted grew particularly close to Teo's son, considering him his only true friend in the past 300 years. When Tir, Ted and Kanaan travelled to Mt. Seifu, they encountered a Queen Ant, a monster they were unable to destroy. In order to save the group, Ted used the Rune of Life and Death. Upon their return to Gregminster, Windy was alerted to the rune's presence. Windy demanded that Ted give her the Soul Eater; Ted managed to get away, but was heavily injured and collapsed on the doorway of the McDohl's residence. Soon after, the Imperial Guard arrived to collect him. Ted passed on the rune to his friend, despite knowing the curse it would bring to him and urged him to leave while the Imperial Guard still thought that Ted had the rune.

Ted was captured and given a Conqueror Rune by Windy, which took control of his body. Forced by Windy to encounter his friend and regain the Soul Eater at Seek Valley, Ted was able to use the proximity of the Rune of Life and Death in order to regain some control of his actions. Mustering the power of the Soul Eater, Ted was able to gain just enough power to gain control of his body and commanded the Soul Eater to take his soul. In his final words, Ted addressed his best friend, telling him that to live his life to the fullest, for Ted's sake as well as his own. Ted's sacrifice may have been his own atonement for cursing his friend with the Soul Eater.
