The specific details of Frost's appearance are unknown. He presumably has the powerful shapeshifting abilities common to his race,{{wob ref|12076}} giving him the power to significantly alter his appearance. Likely, his usual appearance is reptilian in nature.{{wob ref|2682}}

Frost is the oldest known character in the Cosmere, even older than Hoid.{{wob ref|945}} In his correspondence with Hoid, he exhibits personal knowledge of a number of the original sixteen [[Vessel]]s who perpetrated the [[Shattering of Adonalsium]] on [[Yolen]] and took up the power of the [[Shard]]s.{{msh ref|3|2}}{{wob ref|11602}} Specifically, Frost and Hoid mention [[Rayse]], [[Bavadin]], [[Aona]], [[Skai]], [[Ati]], and [[Tanavast]] by name, and Frost references "the sixteen".{{epigraph ref|sa2|70}} ▼
 
<!--T:8-->
In Hoid's initial letter to Frost, it seems that the two have not spoken in some time; Hoid is not sure if Frost is fully aware of the [[Splinter]]ing of [[Devotion]] and [[Dominion]] on [[Sel]]{{epigraph ref|sa1|22}} even though it has been several millenia since that occurred.{{epigraph ref|sa2|70}} Hoid begs Frost for his support, implying that Frost still has clout in the cosmere.{{epigraph ref|sa1|28}} Frost rebuffs Hoid, emphasizing his nonintervention policy, and refers to their past actions as having caused more harm than good.{{epigraph ref|sa2|66}} Although Frost seems to agree with Hoid's assessment that Odium is dangerous,{{epigraph ref|sa2|67}} he does not understand Hoid's level of concern{{epigraph ref|sa1|17}} since Odium is trapped in the [[Rosharan system]].{{epigraph ref|sa2|69}} The two are diametrically opposed on the best way to save the cosmere, and Frost entreats Hoid to abandon his quest to avoid making things worse with his meddling.{{epigraph ref|sa2|60}}▼
Like all dragons, Frost is functionally immortal, meaning that he does not age, but he can be killed.{{wob ref|3074}} His long life is due to his race.{{wob ref|5881}} Dragons are also known to have the abilities of flight{{wob ref|11737}} and shapeshifting, (including the ability to appear human).{{wob ref|2655}}▼

== Trivia == <!--T:13-->
* It is likely that there are characters older than Frost in the cosmere, but they have not been canonized.{{wob ref|11856}}
* Frost first appeared in the unpublished novel ''[[Dragonsteel Prime]]'', some of which can be read on Brandon's website.{{bws ref|dragonsteel-prime-chapter-25-bridge-four-1|''Dragonsteel Prime'' Chapter 25: Bridge Four 1|date=c. 2000}} A series of ''[[Dragonsteel]]'' novels are still in Brandon's long-term plans for the cosmere, and would likely include Frost.{{sots ref|2018}}
* If Frost has a gender, it has not been confirmed in canon, but male pronouns are used in ''[[Dragonsteel Prime]]''.
