'''Hoid''' is a recurring character in [[Brandon Sanderson]]'s adult fiction novels. Although his appearance varies from world to world, and even from book to book within a world, Brandon Sanderson has confirmed that all the instances of Hoid are, in fact, one individual, linked to the larger universe (the [[Cosmere]]). Currently, any theories as to the role that Hoid plays in the meta-mythology are purely speculation. For more discussion of these theories, see the [http://www.17thshard.com/forum/index.php/board,18.0.html forum pages].
 
==Minor Appearances==
Hoid often plays a beggar.
*[[Elantris]] - Hoid is a beggar helping smuggle weapons for [[Sarene]] into [[Elantris (city)|Elantris]].<ref>{{bref|e|c|58}}</ref>
On [[Sel]] he helped [[Sarene]] smuggle weapons into [[Elantris (city)]]
*[[Mistborn: The Final Empire]] - Hoid is the street informant that [[Kelsier]] visits.<ref>[[{{b|mb1}}|Mistborn: The Final Empire, Chapter 19]]</ref>
*[[Mistborn: The Well of Ascension]] - Hoid is an unnamed Terrisman that [[Elend]] meets on his way back to Luthadel.
*[[Mistborn: The Hero of Ages]] - Hoid is a beggar/street informant in [[Fadrex City]]. In the [http://brandonsanderson.com/annotation/290/Mistborn-3-Chapter-Twenty-Seven chapter annotation], Brandon seems to imply that there was some significance to his presence here.
*[[Mistborn: The Alloy of Law]] - Hoid is the "beggar in black" at the wedding.<ref>http://www.tor.com/blogs/2011/11/the-alloy-of-law-spoiler-thread#225206</ref>
*[[Warbreaker]] - Hoid is the storyteller that [[Lightsong]] summons.<ref>{{bref|wb|c|32}}</ref>
 
He has appeared multiple times on [[Scadrial]];
==[[The Stormlight Archive]]==
to [[Kelsier]] he acted as an informant in [[Luthadel]]{{ref|b|mb1|c|19}},
he meets [[Elend]] and [[Spook]] on their way back to Luthadel as an unnamed [[Terris]]man{{ref|b|mb2|c|56}},
he again acts as an informant on the streets of [[Fadrex City]]. [[Vin]], on her way to see him, is spooked by him and decides not to.{{ref|?|727|24|Is Slowswift Hoid?}}
At the wedding of [[Joshin Yomen|Joshin]] and [[Mi'chelle Yomen]], Hoid is seen speaking to them, once again dressed as a beggar.{{ref|?|632|3|Was the "beggar in black" Hoid?}}
 
On [[Nalthis]] Hoid is employed by [[Lightsong]]'s court as a storyteller.
In a departure from his previous appearances, Hoid plays a relatively major role in [[The Way of Kings]]. Most often referred to as "Wit", Hoid plays a key role in the development of both [[Kaladin]] and [[Dalinar]]. His longest dialog to date occurs in Chapter 57 of The Way of Kings, but the promise of additional appearances to come is reinforced by his appearance in the very last chapter of the book.
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]]''.{{ref|b|sa1|c|57}}
