Tehlu emerges in Kvothe's fireside tale as the greatest Amyr, a god-figure with wings of fire who descends to confront evil, holding justice foremost in the story of demons and redemption. His silver-starred forehead marks his terrible righteousness. Though a figure from legend, he shapes Kvothe's childhood worldview of heroism and moral fire.
