=== On Scadrial ===
Felt iswas born the third son of a minor nobleman during the [[Final Empire]] not long before its fall, and iswas used to working for a living.{{wob ref|7549}} He was born on Scadrial not long before the events of [[Mistborn Era 1|''Mistborn'' Era 1]].{{wob ref|9429}}{{wob ref|11890}}

During the [[Siege of Luthadel]], Felt iswas tasked with figuring out how the city was being infiltrated by someone who was poisoning food. He interrogatesinterrogated the refugees entering the city and the people running the [[Luthadel]] passwalls, but doesdid not get very far. On a hunch, he hashad his men search the river and determinesdetermined that someone had pried some drain grates free to create their own entrance into the city. Elend iswas pleased with Felt's competence, and noticesnoticed that he takestook pleasure in his work. He resolvesresolved to utilize Felt's skills more often, including a possible assignment to find a [[kandra]] spy.{{book ref|mb2|42}}
 
Elend later notesnoted that Felt was assigned to watch the [[Lord Ruler]]'s [[storage cavern]] in the east during the [[Siege of Fadrex City]].{{book ref|mb3|25}}

=== On Roshar ===
{{image|Entering the Valley by Marie Seeberger.jpg|side=right|width=350px|Felt leading [[Dalinar]] to the [[Valley]]}}
Felt was with [[Dalinar]] when he visited the [[Nightwatcher]] not long after the [[assassination of Gavilar]]. Dalinar seems to trust him, as Felt is one of only a few people that knew of the visit. Felt seems to have some insight into the effects of the Nightwatcher, and cautions Dalinar about visiting her. Felt has visited the Nightwatcher before, but she did not show herself; he believes this is because she does not like foreigners, especially someone as "foreign" as he is. He also chuckles at Dalinar's lack of knowledge regarding birds (or "chickens", as they are known on Roshar). He is present after Dalinar receives his boon and curse, and is the first person to say [[Evi Kholin]]'s name to Dalinar when he can no longer hear it.{{book ref|sa3|114}}
 
Felt was with Highprince [[Dalinar Kholin]] when he visited the [[Nightwatcher]] not long after the [[assassination of Gavilar]]. Dalinar seems to trusttrusted him, as Felt iswas one of only a few people that knew of the visit. Felt seemsseemed to have some insight into the effects of the Nightwatcher, and cautionscautioned Dalinar about visiting her. Felt hashad visited the Nightwatcher beforeprior to his trip with Dalinar, but she did not show herself; he believesbelieved that this iswas because she doesdid not like foreigners, especially someone as "foreign" as he iswas. He also chuckleschuckled at Dalinar's lack of knowledge regarding birds (or "chickens", as theyDalinar arecalled known on Rosharthem). HeFelt is present after Dalinar receives his boon and curse, and iswas the first person to say [[Evi Kholin]]'s name to Dalinar whenafter he[[Cultivation]]'s can[[Old noMagic]] longertook hear iteffect.{{book ref|sa3|114}}
 
He istook stillpart present on Roshar at the end ofin the [[War of Reckoning]]. He is, seenacting as an [[Alethi]] scout on the [[Shattered Plains]] who reportsreported to [[Lyn]] during the [[Battle of Narak]]. He and [[Shim]] arewere sent to scout the plateaus surrounding [[Narak]] prior to the battle.{{book ref|sa2|81}}
 
Felt remained loyal to [[House Kholin]] during the [[True Desolation]], and was chosen to accompany Highprince [[Adolin Kholin]] and [[Shallan Davar]] on their journey through [[Shadesmar]] to [[Lasting Integrity]]. Adolin considered Felt's even temperament and scouting skills invaluable.{{book ref|sa4|21}} Felt monitored the movements of a group of [[Tukar]]i that were following the expedition, reporting on them to Adolin. He was surprised to see the intelligence exhibited by [[Gallant]] when Adolin needed assistance.{{book ref|sa4|35}} When Adolin was put on trial, Felt did not return to [[Urithiru]], instead staying in a camp near Lasting Integrity as part of Adolin's small support team.{{book ref|sa4|75}}
 
==Relationships==
===Malli===
Felt's wife [[Malli]] has been present with him during several important events, including his visit to the [[Valley]] with [[Dalinar]] and the expedition to [[Lasting Integrity]]. Malli is able to use a [[spanreed]] and write in [[women's script]], and can fulfill the role of a scribe on Felt's missions.{{book ref|sa3|114}}{{book ref|sa4|21}} Felt and Malli have only been seen together on [[Roshar]], and it is not known if she is a worldhopper or if she is even aware of Felt's abilities.
 
===Elend Venture===
Felt's wife [[Malli]] is also present when he travels with Dalinar.{{book ref|sa3|114}} She is able to use a [[spanreed]]{{book ref|sa3|114}} and presumably write in [[women's script]], but it is not known if she is native to Roshar.
Despite the fact that Felt originally worked for his father, Elend respects him and his opinions.{{book ref|mb1|31}} Because of the existence of [[kandra]] on Scadrial, it is difficult for Elend to fully trust anyone, but he has a very high level of confidence in Felt and gives him several important tasks.{{book ref|mb2|42}}{{book ref|mb3|25}}
 
===Kholin Family===
He is still present on Roshar at the end of the [[War of Reckoning]]. He is seen as an Alethi scout on the [[Shattered Plains]] who reports to [[Lyn]] during the [[Battle of Narak]]. He and [[Shim]] are sent to scout the plateaus surrounding [[Narak]] prior to the battle.{{book ref|sa2|81}}
It is not clear how Felt came to know Dalinar, but by {{Rosharan date|1168}}, he was one of the Blackthorn's most trusted associates. Like Elend, Dalinar respects Felt and seeks his counsel despite Felt's relatively low social status.{{book ref|sa3|114}} Felt's skillset and personality have kept him close to Dalinar and his family, and he is considered a friend rather than just a subordinate. Adolin respects Felt in the same way that his father does.{{book ref|sa4|21}}
