It is also likely that he uses his [[Yolish Lightweaving]] to cause the smoke from the fire to take the form of various elements from his story. [[Ishikk]] was hired by three men from the [[Seventeenth Shard]] to search for Hoid in the [[Purelake]]. Hoid was in [[Kholinar]] when [[Taln]] arrived to herald the coming of the [[Desolation]].{{book ref|twok|epilogue}}▼

[[Rock]] also describes an encounter with him in the [[Horneater Oceans]].{{book ref|sa2|46}}{{wob ref|7156}}
Hoid is also seen acting as the carriage driver for [[Adolin]] when he is visiting [[Shallan]] at [[Shattered Plains|Sebarial's warcamp]]. He speaks to [[Kaladin]] about his flute and mentions that he wants an interesting story from him. When [[Shallan]] recognizes him she happily hugs him for his advice from three and a half years prior when he encouraged her at her worst and told her to keep seeking the light.{{book ref|sa2|55}}
Later, at the end of the book, he meets with [[Jasnah Kholin]] as she exits the Cognitive Realm, offering to travel with her.{{book ref|sa2|epilogue}}

The three letters in part two of Oathbringer are directed at Cephandrius. The first two explicitly say this, while the third simply says "friend". It is likely that they are all referring to the same person.
Hoid, finding a child around the corpse of her mother, used [[Awakening]] to lure her away from the body, leaving the child in the care of a family in the city. He then headed to the palace where he finds a [[Cryptic]], the spren [[Elhokar]] was about to bond before he died.{{book ref|sa3|epilogue}}{{wob ref|15354}}
