Like the other children, Teylan was kidnapped from the Sarentu clan 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,[1] 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
