Hoid is not a [[Shard]], nor is he a [[Herald]], but something else entirely.{{ref|?|697|21|Is Hoid a Herald?}}
It has been said that the origin of Hoid will be revealed in the [[Dragonsteel]] series,{{ref|?|622|135|He is a primary viewpoint protagonist of Dragonsteel, but that happens before all of the other books.}} and so it is commonly believed Hoid is from [[Yolen]], the world of Dragonsteel.
Hoid has a home base somewhere in the cosmere.{{ref|17s|2383|post|42472|He has a home base.}}

* Dust{{ref|Brandon says in the Annotation of [http://www.brandonsanderson.com/annotation/410/Warbreaker-Chapter-Thirty-Two Warbreaker Chapter 32] that Hoid was using one of his favorite pseudonyms in the original draft, which was [http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/1597-hoids-other-pseudonyms/page__p__27862#entry27862 Dust]}}

===Worldsingers & Worldbringers===
The names of the Worldsingers, a group of storytellers on Roshar, and the Conclave of Worldbringers, the leading body of the original Terris religion, are strikingly similar. Brandon has stated that this is not a coincidence.{{ref|17s|1308|post|22043|Mi'ch was telling me that Brandon said that their similarity in names wasn't a coincidence.}} Some believe that Hoid is a common root to both of these organizations, one of which, the Worldbringers, was very [[Realmatic Theory|Realmatically]] aware.{{ref|17s|2383|post|42471|Realmatic theory was part of the ancient Terris religion.}}
===Lerasium Bead===
We know that aside from the beads of [[lerasium]] burned by the original nine [[Allomancy|Allomancers]] and [[Elend]] there is at least one more other bead somewhere in the cosmere.{{ref|732|1|And at least one more.}} We know that Hoid was at the well prior to [[Vin]] and Elend arriving there.{{ref|17s|2383|post|42244}} Also, Hoid has "metal that he shouldn't have". Hoid has also been confirmed to have retrieved something from the Well.{{ref|17s|2383|post|42244|Well, by this point Hoid had been to the Well--getting there just before Vin--and had retrieved something from it.}} Combining all these facts heavily hint that Hoid is in possession of a bead of lerasium.
