'''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].
