\|books=[[The Way of Kings]], [[Elantris]], [[Mistborn series]], [[Warbreaker]] }}{{attention}} '''Hoid''' is a recurring character in the [[cosmere]], who has appeared in every cosmere novel except [[The Emperor's Soul]]; he was involved in events before the beginning of the novella. The subtlety of his appearances vary from book to book, ranging from him being named outright and making cosmere references to appearances where his name isn't mentioned and he's in a deep disguise. He is confirmed to be the same individual,{{ref\|~~wotdb~~?\|690\|39\|This is, indeed, the very same person.}} but one who [[Worldhopping\|Worldhops]] between planets. Hoid's actions and motives are mysterious, as most of his actions appear to occur behind the scenes. Hoid is not a [[Shard]]{{cite}}, nor is he a [[Herald]], but something else entirely.{{ref\|?\|697\|21\|Is Hoid a Herald?}} ==History== Very little of Hoid's history is known beyond the fact that he was present at the [[Shattering]] of [[Adonalsium]].{{ref\|~~wotdb~~?\|732\|1\|Hoid was at the Shattering}} ===Sel (Elantris & The Emperor's Soul)=== ==Abilities== * Lightweaving, possible illusion magic from [[Yolen]]. * Worldhopping, very good at manipulating Shadesmar.{{ref\|~~wotdb~~?\|428\|102\|Hoid is quite proficient at manipulating Shadesmar for his own ends.}} * Limited foresight about where he needs to go and when he needs to be there.{{ref\|~~wotdb~~?\|689\|4\|How does Hoid know where to go when?}} * Extremely long life and time dilation.{{ref\|~~wotdb~~?\|622\|106\|Can Hoid jump through time?}} * The character of Hoid existed before the concept of Adonalsium was developed. He first appeared in a short story Brandon wrote long ago. He was on a planet trying to figure out how the magical system of the area worked. {{ref\|17s\|2383\|post\|42219\|Hoid has been around forever, long before Adonalsium became the central plot of his story.}} * A very early version of Hoid was in Brandon's very first written (unpublished) book.{{cite}} * Brandon has stated that Hoid is his favorite character, but he couldn't say why without giving away spoilers.{{ref\|~~wotdb~~?\|690\|43\|I’ll have to say Hoid is my favorite.}}
