'''Hoid''' is a recurring character in the [[cosmere]], who has appeared in every cosmere novel; he was involved in events before the beginning of the published books. The subtlety of his appearances vary from book to book, ranging from him being named outright and making cosmere references to appearances where his name isn't mentioned and he's in a deep disguise. He is confirmed to be the same individual,{{qa ref|690|39}} but one who [[Worldhopping|Worldhops]] between planets. Hoid's actions and motives are mysterious, as most of his actions appear to occur behind the scenes.
His particular style of storytelling in which he manipulates sand or smoke to illustrate his stories, as in [[Warbreaker]] and [[The Way of Kings]], does not originate from [[White Sand]], but from another unpublished story, [[The Liar of Partinel]].{{qa ref|590|40|Does the sand storytelling in Warbreaker have to do with White Sand?|date=2011-1-10}}
Hoid was originally human, but has changed enough that when asked, Brandon says "It's complicated."{{qa ref|1088|4|text=We would call him human, but he's not exactly that|date=Mar 22, 2014}} Hoid is not a [[Shard]], nor is he a [[Herald]], but something else entirely.{{qa ref|697|21}}
