[[File:Wit by Emmanuel Goyer.jpg|thumb|right|x200px]]In a departure from his previous appearances, Hoid plays a more conspicuous role in the events on [[Roshar]]. Most often seen under the guise of Wit, [[Elhokar Kholin]]'s court jester, he influences [[Dalinar]], going so far as to ask Dalinar if he has ever heard the term "Adonalsium".{{book ref|twok|54}} He also tells [[Kaladin]] the story of [[Derethil]] and the ''[[Wandersail]]''.{{book ref|sa1|57}} During the course of the story, Hoid uses a special, ancient flute called a Trailman's flute. It is also likely that he uses [[Lightweaving]] to cause the smoke from the fire to take the form of various elements from his story. In the first Interlude, [[Ishikk]] talks with three men from the [[Seventeenth Shard]] who had paid him to search for Hoid in the Purelake. These three men are [[Galladon]], [[Demoux]], and [[Baon]]. He appears again towards the end of the book as [[Taln]] arrives in [[Kholinar]].{{book ref|twok|epilogue}}

===== [[Oathbringer]] =====

The three letters in part two of Oathbringer are directed at Cephandrius. The first two explicity says this, but the third one just says friend, however it is likely that they are all referring to the same person.
