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.{{ref|group=fn|text=While [[Bavadin]] was a known Vessel at the time, the Intent of her Shard was not yet known and her world had not been seen, so [[Autonomy]] could also possibly fit the question. However, it was later explicitly confirmed that this Shard is not Autonomy.{{wob ref|14939}}}} 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
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}}
