TEL, an acronym of Transubstantive Entity, Lower-class, is a mechanical transgolem that serves as Ausar's assistant, retrieving his body and returning it to a rebirth chamber when he dies.[1]
TEL can morph into any element that it touches. In addition to shape, it can also change its size at will. At one point in Infinity Blade: Awakening, TEL transformed into leaves and became the size of a cat. TEL is described as having "gemstone eyes".[1]
Infinity Blade: Awakening
When Siris and Isa find a traveler under attack and decide to help him, the traveller is revealed to be TEL. TEL follows Siris and Isa as they travel. While traveling, TEL answered questions asked by Siris, as long as they didn't directly refer to Siris's past as Ausar. It is revealed that at one point in the past, Siris sent TEL to monitor him and perform tasks for him. TEL does reveal that Siris is its master, and that it must obey him, but it is not allowed to answer certain questions or perform certain tasks that conflict with its original instructions.
Infinity Blade II
TEL was added to Infinity Blade II in the Vault of Tears update. It follows the player around the Vault of Tears, appearing in random locations, only interacting with Siris when the Equipment in Infinity Blade II is obtained and the Shrine]is opened. TEL can be seen in the following locations:
- Immediately after entering the castle, in the corridor.
- In the courtyard with the statue, on a ledge to the right.
- After entering the arena.
Infinity Blade III
TEL makes an appearance in between Act I - The Anomaly and Act II - Buried in the Past, in between Act II - Buried in the Past and Act III - The Right Weapon, and in Acts. In Acts I, II, and III, there is just some scattered dialogue. In Act IV, TEL shows Siris the way to the Redeemer and helps him retrieve it.
