Teshebel is introduced when Joshua Plimpton and Marcos Alberto Sanchez go through a time portal that takes them to the Jaredites' territory. A band of female warriors led by Teshebel captures Joshua and Marcos and brings them before their king Omer and his granddaughter Asherah. Through a long discussion about Joshua's and Marcos' origins, Omer decides to take them in.
