Difference between revisions of "Hoid"

Hoid is not the author of the Ars Arcanums, nor of the back-of-book blurb for [[Words of Radiance]].{{cite}} He occasionally will show up somewhere, stand around for a while, realize there isn't a novel-worthy plot going on, and leave.{{17s ref|6439|post|104720|Hoid appears on planets where nothing happens}}

Very little of Hoid's history is known beyond the fact that he was present at the [[Shattering]] of [[Adonalsium]].{{qa ref|732|1name=twg-2009-12-19}} The specifics of his appearances follows, but bear in mind that it is arranged by book, not chronologically. Hoid's appearance in [[Alloy of Law]] takes place after his appearance in [[The Way of Kings]].

We know that aside from the beads of [[lerasium]] burned by the original nine [[Allomancy|Allomancers]] and [[Elend]] there is at least one more other bead somewhere in the cosmere.{{qa ref|732|1name=twg-2009-12-19}} We know that Hoid was at the well prior to [[Vin]] and Elend arriving there.{{17s ref|2383|post|42244}} Also, Hoid has "metal he isn't supposed to have".{{17s ref|1389|post|24231}} Hoid has also been confirmed to have retrieved something from the Well.{{17s ref|2383|post|42244}} Combining all these facts heavily hint that Hoid is in possession of a bead of lerasium.
