According to the Namelist of Bulgarian Rulers, Telets reigned for 3 years "instead of another", and he was a member of the Ugain clan. The Nominalia of the Bulgarian khans (Именник на българските ханове is a short Manuscript containing the names of some early Bulgarian This is corroborated by the Byzantine sources, which indicate that Telets replaced the legitimate rulers of Bulgaria. The same sources describe Telets as a brave and energetic man in his prime (about 30 years old). Scholars have conjectured that Telets may have belonged to an anti-Slavic faction of the Bulgarian nobility.
After his accession, Telets led a well-trained and well-armed army against the Byzantine Empire and devastated the Empire's frontier zone, inviting the emperor to a contest of strength. Emperor Constantine V Kopronymos marched north on June 16, 763, while another army was carried by a fleet of 800 ships (each carrying infantry and 12 horsemen) with the intent to create a pincer movement from the north.

Telets at first fortified the mountain passes with his troops and some twenty thousand Slavic auxiliaries. Later he changes his mind and led out his troops to the plain of Anchialos (Pomorie) on June 30.

The battle of Anchialus (Битката при Анхиало occurred in 763, near the town of Pomorie on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast. At the end Telets was deserted by his Slavic auxiliaries, who deserted to the emperor, who won the field, but chose to return home in triumph. According to the Byzantine sources, Constantine V brought home a throng of Bulgarian prisoners in wooden restraints, for the entertainment of Constantinople's populace. Constantinople (Κωνσταντινούπολις Konstantinoúpolis, or gr ἡ Πόλις hē Polis, Latin: la CONSTANTINOPOLIS
The military defeat sealed the fate of Telets, who was lynched together with his supporters by his rebellious subjects.
The 17th century Volga Bulgar compilation Ja'far Tarikh (a work of disputed authenticity) represents Teles (i. As a means of recording the passage of Time, the 17th Century was that Century which lasted from 1601 - 1700 in the Gregorian calendar e. , Telets) as the son of Korymdžes (i. e. , Kormisosh), but this does not agree with the testimony of the Imennik, in which the former ruler belongs to the Ugain clan, and the latter to the Vokil clan. Kormisosh (Кормисош was ruler of Bulgaria in 753 and 756 The Ja'far Tarikh alleges that Telets was killed in battle by the retainers of his successor Sabin.
