=== Lerasium Bead & Allomancy ===
Brandon has confirmed that Hoid does in fact have a lerasium bead.{{qa ref|897|21}}{{twg ref|7302|0}}{{17s ref|post|42244}}{{17s ref|post|24231}}{{17s ref|post|42244}} His original intent in acquiring the bead was to become an Allomancer, but Brandon's careful wording throws into question whether or not Hoid actually used the bead for that purpose.{{qa ref|1047|9}}{{qa ref|1047|15}}{{qa ref|1048|29}} The [[Letters#First Letter|First Letter]] also mentions an "element" which its author is keeping safe. This could refer to Hoid and his lerasium.
 
=== Possible Origins ===
"I began life as a thought, a concept, words on a page. That was another thing I stole. Myself."{{book ref|twok|57}}
 
This sentence may point to the possibility that Hoid was once a creature of the [[Cognitive Realm]]; one which became self-aware and was somehow able to enter the physical realm. This would explain some of Hoid's odder abilities, such as how easily he worldhops and his facility with multiple kinds of Investiture.
