|Other men . . . other men, as they age, merely grow stranger. I fear that I am one of those. I am the bones of a foreign species left drying on the plain that was once, long ago, a sea. A curiosity, perhaps a reminder, that all has not always been as it is now. |

Hoid |
Hoid is far older than any human could really live. He also hasn't lived through all those years,{{wob ref|6585}} instead making use of some time-dilation technique that may render him unconscious.{{wob ref|}} |
||
He can move swiftly forward in time, but has not yet traveled backwards in time.{{qa ref|622|106}} |
|||
Hoid's immortality is known to have come from some remnant of the weapon the original sixteen Vessels constructed in an attempt to kill Adonalsium.{{wob ref|10439}} |
