The true nature of the entity known as 'Hoid' is unclear, he personally still identifies as a human and originally was born one.{{book ref|sa2|67}}{{wob ref|6614}}{{wob ref|2610}} Since then however the nature of Hoid has changed, while many would still identify him as a human others would argue that it is more 'complicated' than that.{{wob ref|6614}} Two reasons for this oddity are known, the first is the fact that Hoid predates the Shattering, and thus the radical changes it caused throughout the cosmere, as a result of this many of the Invested Arts behaving oddly when interacting with him.{{wob ref|3212}} The second is the dramatic change to his [[spirit web]] that holding a [[dawnshard]] caused in him,{{wob ref|14300}} this change is rare enough that no unified term exists to describe the changes that is caused within him, the transformation is also more extreme than what [[Savantssavants]] and [[Steel Inquisitors]] undergo, though his changes bare similarities with the latter.{{wob ref|2669}}{{wob ref|2615}} While it is difficult to define what Hoid is it is well known what he is not. He is not a [[Herald]]{{wob ref|7190}}, [[Shard]],{{wob ref|6650}} nor a Vessel,{{wob ref|8843}}{{wob ref|10555}} he is not [[Adonalsium]], nor the weapon that killed them.{{wob ref|10826}} He is not a [[Sliver]],{{wob ref|4712}} a [[dragon]],{{wob ref|5096}} a founder of the [[Five Scholars]],{{wob ref|3622}} nor the oldest being in the Cosmere.{{wob ref|3083}} He is also not a group of people pretending to be one man,{{wob ref|2609}}{{wob ref|7250}} nor a mass delusion.{{wob ref|13223}} Whatever Hoid currently is, some consider it to make him one of the most powerful and dangerous non-Shard entities in the cosmere.{wob ref|7323}}{{wob ref|2940}}{{wob ref|156}}

The other major unknown aspect of Hoid is his true name, 'Hoid' itself is not his birth name but rather one of his oldest and more well known aliases.{{wob ref|5882}} Unlike some of his later aliases the name is not an invention made by Hoid but rather one that people on [[Yolen]] had used in the past,{{wob ref|4338}} this may be connected to Hoid's claim that he took the name from a loved one.{{wob ref|4414}}{{book ref|sa1|57}} How this is connected to his other claim that he took the name from words on a page is unknown, though it is known that he is being literal when stating this.{{book ref|sa1|57}}{{wob ref|8609}}
