}}

'''Hoid''' is a recurring character in the [[cosmere]], as well as a legend rumored to have a thousand titles. He has appeared in almost every cosmere novel, short story, and novella which takes place in that universe. Note that his real name is likely not Hoid. In The Way of Kings, he mentions he stole the name from someone he should have loved, while giving [[Kaladin]] his flute and telling the story of the [[Wandersail]]. In section 2 of the 2nd [[Letters|Letter]] from [[Words of Radiance]], the author of the letter asks if Hoid is no longer hiding behind the name of his old master. The name "Hoid" is likely the name he is hiding behind.

 

Very little of Hoid's origin is known beyond the fact that he was present at the [[Shattering]] of [[Adonalsium]] on [[Yolen]].{{twg ref|7302|0}} He knew at least some of the original [[Vessel]]s personally, was friends with [[Rayse]],{{qa ref|1105|1}} and [[Tanavast]] once bought him a drink.{{book ref|sa2|epilogue}} Hoid was once offered a Shard at the time of the Shattering, but refused to take it.{{wob ref|3337}} He also did something in his past that he regretted.{{wob ref|8225}}
