▲'''Hoid''' is a recurring character in the [[cosmere]], who has appeared in every cosmere novel, though some appearances are more subtle than others. He is confirmed to be the same individual, but one who [[worldhops]] between planets. Hoid's actions and motives are mysterious, and due to the many years between novels in the [[chronology]], Hoid must have some powers to live much longer than the average person.
▲Hoid is not a [[Shard]]{{cite}}, nor is he a [[Herald]], but something else entirely.{{cite}}
It has been said that the origin of Hoid will be revealed in the [[Dragonsteel]] series, and so it is commonly believed Hoid is from [[Yolen]], the world of Dragonsteel.
On [[Nalthis]] Hoid is employed by [[Lightsong]]'s court as a storyteller. He recounts the story of [[Vo]], the First Returned, and answers Lightsong and [[Siri]]'s questions.{{ref|b|wb|c|32}}
In a departure from his previous appearances, Hoid played a relatively major role on [[Roshar]]. Most often seen under the guise of ''Wit'', [[Elhokar Kholin]]'s court jester, he influenced [[Dalinar]]. He also met [[Kaladin]] and told a story about [[Derethil]] and the ''[[Wandersail]]''. During the story, Hoid uses a special, ancient flute called a Trailman's flute. He uses this flute to use a magic Brandon made called [[Lightweaving]], which altered the smoke of the fire beside him, creating images from the story.{{ref|b|sa1|c|57}} Hoid appears again later on in the book, at the end, near the time when a [[Herald]] enters the Kholin camp, spouts dying delirium, and falls dead.
