The one hint to its existence is a cryptic quote that Brandon signed in a book. Responding to the question "Give us the name of a Shard's intent we have not seen before," he wrote, "there is one who just wants to hide and survive."{{wob ref|2788}} This is likely referring to surviving [[Odium]]'s onslaught against the other Shards.
Since then, the Shards [[Ambition]], [[Invention]], [[Mercy]], [[Valor]], and [[Whimsy]] have all been revealed; Ambition has already been Splintered by Odium, but any of the latter four could plausibly be this Shard. On the other hand, Brandon has implied that this Shard's intent may be similar to "Wisdom" or "Prudence".{{wob ref|12684}}{{wob ref|13231}} It is explicitly not [[Autonomy]].{{wob ref|14939}}
The Shard's Intent is only tangentially related to its desire to hide. The desire comes from its knowledge of events in the cosmere.{{wob ref|326}} This desire not to be caught is "quite intelligent,"{{wob ref|7889}} though it has realized over time that this desire may not be the most important thing.{{wob ref|12684}}{{wob ref|13231}}
