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}}
