===== The King's Wit =====
Only a few months before the greatshell hunt,{{book ref|sa1|12}} he became the King's Wit, [[Elhokar Kholin]]'s court jester.
Through his role as Wit, he kept his eyes upon and influenced [[Dalinar]], going so far as to ask [[Dalinar Kholin]] if he has ever heard the term "Adonalsium", as he believed that he was involved in secret societies such as the [[Sons of Honor]], and thought that [[Gavilar Kholin]] confided in him. Though his suspicions were proven wrong.{{book ref|twok|54}}{{wob ref|7682}}
He also told [[Kaladin]] the story of [[Derethil]] and the ''[[Wandersail]]''.{{book ref|sa1|57}} During the course of the story, Hoid uses a special, ancient flute called a [[Trailman's flute]]. It is also likely that he used 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]], though all four failed to find him.{{book ref|sa1|i|1}}

Hoid
Hoid, acting as Wit, visits [[Kaladin]] while he is in prison. He tells Kaladin the story of a man named Fleet who raced a highstorm across one end of [[Roshar]] to the other. Fleet wins, but dies of exhaustion at the end, and his spirit goes on to race the wind forever.
