=====[[Way of Kings]]=====
In a departure from his previous appearances, Hoid plays a relatively major role on [[Roshar]]. Most often seen under the guise of ''Wit'', [[Elhokar Kholin]]'s court jester, he influences [[Dalinar]], going so far as to ask Dalinar if he has ever heard the term "Adonalsium".{{ref|b|twok|c|54}} He also meets [[Kaladin]] and tells him a story about [[Derethil]] and the ''[[Wandersail]]''.{{ref|b|sa1|c|57}} During the course of the story, Hoid uses a special, ancient flute called a Trailman's flute. It is also likely that he uses [[Lightweaving]] to cause the smoke from the fire to take the form of various elements from his story.
In the first Interlude, Ishikk, a man from the Purelake, spends six months being paid by three men to ask around the area after Hoid. These three men are [[Galladon]], [[Demoux]], and a third man from a book that has not been published, referred to as Vao or Blunt. These men are confirmed to be members of the Seventeenth Shard.▼
=====[[Words of Radiance]]=====
Hoid agian in this plays a minor role as Wit. For most of the book, they say he is away, which is presumed to be when he went to Scadrial during the mistborn series, but not for certain.
Hoid appears again later on in the book at the very same time as [[Taln]], a [[Herald]], who breaks through the gates of [[Kholinar]] and falls unconscious after declaring that the [[True Desolation]] is imminent.{{ref|b|twok|epilogue}}

Also in a flashback 5 and a half years ago from Shallan, Shallan meets Wit, who is disguised as a messenger, and he talks to her. Then at the end of the book, Wit also figures out how to revive someone from the end, presumably using Shadesmar, or the cognitive realm of Roshar.
