— Hoid to Dalinar[1]

Hoid is a recurring character in the cosmere. He has appeared in almost every cosmere novel, short story, and novella which takes place in that universe.

Hoid was involved in the events taking place before any of the cosmere's published books begin and is the second oldest character seen so far.[2] He was originally human, but has changed enough that when asked, Brandon only says "It's complicated."[3] Hoid is not a Shard, nor is he a Herald, but something else entirely.[4] He is very skilled with disguises, and the overtness of his involvement varies from book to book. In some, he is named outright and makes references to other events and places in the cosmere, while in others he is seen only deep in disguise, almost unrecognizable. Brandon has confirmed that all of these appearances are the same individual,[5] but that he worldhops between planets. Hoid's motives are unknown, and most of his actions 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to illustrate his stories, as in Warbreaker and The Way of Kings, does not originate from White Sand, but from another unpublished story, The Liar of Partinel.[6] In Warbreaker, Siri asked Hoid where he learned his style of story telling. Hoid answered, “I learned it many, many years ago from a man who didn’t know who he was, Your Majesty. It was a distant place where two lands meet and gods have died. But that is unimportant.” His origin will be revealed in the Dragonsteel series,[7] and so it is commonly believed Hoid is from Yolen, the world of Dragonsteel and Liar. He also has a "home base" somewhere in the cosmere.[8]

Hoid is neither the author of the Ars Arcana, nor of the back-of-book blurb for Words of Radiance.[9] He occasionally will show up somewhere, stand around for a while, realize there isn't a novel-worthy plot going on, and leave.[10]

History

Early Life

Very little of Hoid's origin is known beyond the fact that he was present at the Shattering of Adonalsium on Yolen.[11] He knew at least some of the original Vessels personally, was friends with Rayse,[12] and Tanavast once bought him a drink.[13] Hoid was once offered a Shard at the time of the Shattering, but refused to take it.[14] He also did something in his past that he regretted.[15]

At some point following the Shattering, Hoid traveled to Roshar. He met the singers there and even shared a dance with one of them, Vatwha. a member of the Fused. He also at some point interacted with the Unkalaki culture, where they came to worship him as Lunu'anaki, the god of travel and mischief. They learned of his inability to hurt others, and details of this affliction and his appearance entered the Unkalaki mythology. 


His appearances are listed below, organized by book series and not necessarily in chronological order. He makes no appearance in Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell.[16]

The Restoration of Elantris (Sel)

“ There is beauty in every disaster, friend, if you are clever enough to find it.” ”

— Hoid to a skaze

Hoid traveled to Sel, likely making use of Devotion's Perpendicularity in Arelon. Hoid spoke to the skaze, and seems to have made some sort of agreement with them hinging on his desire to become an Elantrian with the restoration of Elantris.[17] Hoid disguised himself as a beggar, wrapped in bandages. He helped Sarene smuggle weapons into Elantris.[18] Following the restoration of the city by Raoden, Hoid traveled to the Pool to meet a skaze. He removed his bandages, hoping to find himself transformed into an Elantrian, but the transformation had not occured. The skaze ridiculed Hoid for his failure, but Hoid expressed his joy that secrets still remained unknown to him and then entered the Perpendicularity and transitioned to Shadesmar.

Hoid returned to Sel several years later, and found himself a position in the court of Emperor Ashravan in the Rose Empire as the Royal Fool. He allied himself with the Forger Shai in her attempt to steal the Moon Scepter, an artifact that allows for the translation of the various symbols of Selish Investiture. He arranged for her to be caught after she'd left the Gallery with the Scepter and later used her duplicate the steal the scepter for himself. [19]

The Collapse of the Final Empire and Catacendre (Scadrial)

Hoid arrived on Scadrial, likely through Ruin's Perpendicularity in the Pits of Hathsin. He took up the guise of an informant, pretending to have bad eyesight in order to make himself less threatening to people seeking information from him.[20] At some point he became known to both Dockson and Ashweather Cett. Kelsier, pretending to be a nobleman contacted Hoid, requesting information on House Renoux. Hoid (closed shop, smoking tobacco) met with Kelsier on the streets of Luthadel and told him that House Renoux was buying large amounts of weapons and armor from various noble houses and that Lord Renoux was considering a marriage between Valette and Elend Venture. He also claimed that Renoux was rumored to have some sort of leverage on Venture and that he knew Shan Elariel to be a Soother. At some point following this, he left Scadrial to attend to other business, again likely via the Pits.[21]

Kelsier and Hoid's meeting at the Well of Ascension by LittleGreyDragon

Around a year later, Hoid returned to Scadrial, traveling through Scadrial's subastral, riding on the back of a Cognitive Shadow to the Well of Ascension, Preservation's Perpendicularity.[22] He encountered the Shadow of Kelsier, who asked for help returning to the Physical Realm. Hoid told him that there was nothing to be done, but he challenged Kelsier to an insult battle, with the prize being the answer to one true question. Kelsier instead threatened Hoid. Hoid attempted to enter the pool, but Kelsier attacked him. After the two wrestled, Hoid easily overpowers Kelsier in their and caused him serious pain, if not permanent injury. Hoid then transitioned through the Well and stole the bead of lerasium from the adjacent room.

Hoid then traveled to the Terris Dominance for reasons unknown,[21] and then became wrapped up in matters he did not anticipate. This may refer to him becoming involved after the Inquisitor attackk on Tathingdwen and the slaughter of the Synod. Hoid took up the guise of a Terris leader[23] and led the Terris refugees to the Central Dominance.[24]

A year later, Hoid was in Fadrex City, again acting as an informant, and Ashweather Cett arranged a meeting between him and Vin. Vin intended to meet with Hoid, but sensed that he had something off about him and instead chose not to speak to him.

Pahn Kahl Rebellion (Nalthis)

“I seek not to be charming, Your Grace, I only tell stories. ”

—Hoid to Siri[26]

Hoid travels to Nalthis at some point and becomes a well-known master storyteller in the Court of the Gods.[26] It is possible that this is the time period in which Hoid gained hundreds of Breaths to achieve at least the Second Heightening. Lightsong summons him to tell himself and Siri the history of the division between Idris and Hallendran, answering their questions about the Manywar, Peacegiver, and the God king.[26] Hoid makes use of a unique storytelling method (?)

Roshar (The Stormlight Archive)

“ I've come to your land to chase an old acquaintance, but I end up spending most of my time hiding from him instead. ”

— Hoid to Kaladin.[27]
Prior Visits

Hoid has visited Roshar prior to the Way of Kings.[28] When visiting Kholinar in the epilogue of Oathbringer, he recognizes one of the fused as Vatwha, an old acquaintance. At some point, "thousands of years ago", Hoid visited Roshar and mingled with the original inhabitants of the world, even dancing with the ancient parshmen. The Fused, however, are now trained to watch for him - most likely to capture him and deliver him to Odium.

The Way of Kings

In a departure from his previous appearances, Hoid plays a more conspicuous role in the events on Roshar. Most often seen under the guise of Wit, Elhokar Kholin's court jester, he influences Dalinar, going so far as to ask Dalinar if he has ever heard the term "Adonalsium".[29] He also tells Kaladin the story of Derethil and the Wandersail.[27] During the course of the story, Hoid uses a special, ancient flute called a Trailman's flute. It is also likely that he uses Lightweaving to cause the smoke from the fire to take the form of various elements from his story. In the first Interlude, Ishikk talks with three men from the Seventeenth Shard who had paid him to search for Hoid in the Purelake. These three men are Galladon, Demoux, and Baon. He appears again towards the end of the book as Taln arrives in Kholinar.[30]

Words of Radiance

Hoid again in this plays his minor role as Wit, though he is absent for most of the book. In Shallan's flashback to three and a half years ago, she meets Hoid disguised as a messenger, and he talks to her. Rock also describes an encounter with him in the Horneater Oceans and calls him Lunu'anaki, the god of travel and mischief who cannot hurt man.[31][32]

Hoid is also seen acting as the carriage driver for Adolin when he is visiting Shallan at Sebarial's warcamp. He speaks to Kaladin about his flute and mentions that he wants an interesting story from him. When Shallan recognizes him she happily hugs him for his advice from three and a half years prior when he encouraged her at her worst and told her to keep seeking the light.[33]

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.

Later, at the end of the book, he meets with Jasnah Kholin as she exits Shadesmar, offering to travel with her.[13]

Edgedancer

The white-haired man who Lift says jumped into the mouth of a greatshell is implied to be Hoid.

Oathbringer

The three letters in part two of Oathbringer are directed at Cephandrius. The first two explicity says this, but the third one just says friend, however it is likely that they are all referring to the same person.

Hoid appears as Wit in the middle of the novel, discussing the nature of power with Shallan. He later helps her get into the Cult of Moments, and finds Shallan at her darkest moment when she discovers the food she has been giving to the poor is just making things worse.

Shalash, upon seeing sketches of Talenel and herself, wonders aloud why Midius (a name taken by Hoid in an as-yet-unpublished text) is giving away drawings of them.[34]

In the epilogue, Hoid is shown in Kholinar insulting a Thaylen man in an attempt to elicit a reaction. Upon realizing that the man can't understand Alethi, Hoid decides repeating it all in Thaylen would be boring, so he cuts in front of the man. The man hits Hoid, knocking loose a tooth which Hoid discards upon leaving the area. Hoid uses Awakening to lure a child away from the corpse of her mother, leaving the child in the care of a family in the city. He then heads to the palace where he finds a Cryptic, presumably the spren Elhokar was about to bond before he died.[35]

Post-Catacendre

  • Alloy of Law - At the wedding of Lord Joshin Yomen and Lady Mi'chelle Ostlin, Hoid is seen speaking to them, once again dressed as a beggar.[36]
  • Shadows of Self - Hoid acts as the new coach driver for Waxillium Ladrian.[37]
  • The Bands of Mourning - In The New Ascendancy broadsheet story 'Nicki Savage, Paranatural Detective in... the Unknown Constructs of Antiquity,' a young white-haired man is mentioned as wanting to tell Savage a story.[38]
  • The Bands of Mourning - Hoid appears as a beggar and gives Wax a strange coin. When asked why he is on the grounds of Kelesina's mansion, he states he "owns the place, technically." (with reference to the mansion.) [39]
  • Hoid is slated to play a major part in the forthcoming sci-fi Mistborn trilogy.[40]

The Letters

In the epigraphs in Part 2 of The Way of Kings, there is the text of a letter. Both its author and recipient are unknown. This letter refers to Vessels by their names and begs the recipient for aid in the struggle against Rayse, holder of the Shard Odium. If Hoid wrote this letter, it offers valuable insights into his personality and goals. The author of the Letter is being hunted by the Seventeenth Shard and has set a false trail for them to follow, which lines up well with the interlude in which three men are searching for Hoid. Brandon has also said that we "may have read that Hoid has specific beef with Rayse," with the Letter being the only real example of this.[41]

The Letters in Oathbringer's epigraphs are all from Shards[42] and possibly all of them are directed to Hoid.

Appearance & Personality

Hoid's appearance varies dramatically from book to book. He's often in disguise, which makes his true appearance difficult to ascertain. Couple this with the fact that he can most likely Lightweave his appearance in order to look however he wants, it makes it nearly impossible to know for sure what he looks like. To the best of our knowledge, his face is lined,[29] hawk-like and arrow shaped. Hoid is tall and thin[43] and also has a sharp nose and jaw with delicate eyebrows.[29] He tends to cock his head to one side[27] and has keen blue eyes.[43] Hoid's hair is white, although he occasionally dyes it.[44] There is a particular reason for his hair being white, which will be revealed in the future.[45]

Hoid's true personality, while also usually disguised, is more easily seen as he occasionally drops whatever part he is playing. One of his overall most noticeable traits is his sharp wit and intelligence. The characters he plays often have a penchant for jokes and mockery but when he removes the facade his personality often seems mysterious and grave.[30][27] If he was asked about whether he called himself a good man personality-wise, Hoid would reply with a "No".[46]

Hoid cannot easily kill people "because of certain things in his past."[47] Rock says he cannot hurt man because it is forbidden by other gods.[31] He also tells a young Shallan, "You needn't fear me. I'm terribly ineffective at hurting people. I blame my upbringing."[48] Hoid apologizes to Kelsier after beating him in a fight, stating he doesn't have the inclination to do real harm to him.[22] This aversion causes him to be nauseous when thinking about physically harming someone, and is sometimes bad enough to incapacitate him. However, this only extends to physical trauma- Hoid has no issues with mentally hurting someone or through inaction.[49] Hoid also has issues with harming himself physically, such as when he has to manipulate another man into punching him when he wants a tooth knocked out, rather than just doing it himself.[35][50] This is an involuntary trait.[51]

On Roshar as King Elhokar's Wit he appears to be in his mid-30's[52] and was described as

“ Tall and thin, the King’s Wit rode easily on a black gelding. He wore a stiff black coat and black trousers, a color matched by his deep onyx hair. Though he wore a long, thin sword tied to his waist, as far as Adolin knew, the man had never drawn it. A dueling foil rather than a military blade, it was mostly symbolic. ”

— [43]

The blade is not magically invested but has personal value to Hoid.[53] It is a symbol of office for the King's Wit, though Hoid "isn't even that good with a sword".[54]

Abilities

This page or section deals with theories or speculation.
Please read carefully and note that this is not necessarily canonical.

Hoid does not yet have the abilities of every planet he's visited.[55] Some of his powers predate the Shattering, but none of them are gained through Hemalurgy.[56] Hoid is concerned about opening himself up to the influence of Shards, so he only gains access to manifestations of Investiture through *** ways.[57] Hoid has access to many types of magic, but certainly not a very large number.[58]


Appearance Changing

Hoid can change his appearance using an unknown power.[59]

Illusions

Possible illusion magic from Yolen. This could allow him to create images of anything he likes, and even possibly change how he looks to others. This is the presumed power that Hoid uses when telling stories in his various disguises.

Worldhopping

Hoid is very good at traveling Shadesmar.[60] He can travel to any world he likes {citation needed}, and can even use this ability to move swiftly around a single planet and to get to otherwise inaccessible areas, like the Well of Ascension.[61]

However according to Rock when he encountered Hoid he had to ask Rock what time it was in the Horneater calendar, which may mean that while he is very good at getting around places he does not always know when he will arrive on a planet (locally speaking) or that his worldhopping is imprecise in terms of the time it takes for him to travel somewhere.[31]

Extremely long life and time dilation

Hoid is far older than any human could really live. He also hasn't lived through all those years. He can move swiftly forward in time, but has not yet traveled backwards in time.[62]

Healing Factor

“I'd be surprised if that little knife of yours poses me any real threat, Kholin ”

—Hoid to Jasnah on her Shardblade

Hoid has access to some sort of healing factor that is capable of repairing both the body and the soul.[63] He is able to regenerate any damaged body parts at will, including his head. Hoid is able to repress his healing factor in some way, preventing instantaneous healing, an ability that he makes use of in some of his disguises.[35] This healing factor makes it very difficult to kill Hoid,[47] although he is still at least somewhat vulnerable.[citation needed] The name of the manifestation of Investiture responsible for Hoid's healing is unknown, but it is ancient,[50] likely originating from some Pre-Shattering source. It is uncertain whether or not this healing factor is at all related to Hoid's apparent agelessness.

Fortune

Hoid uses Feruchemy to gain limited foresight--he knows where he needs to go and when he needs to be there.[64][65]


Connection

Hoid has access to some manifestation of Investiture that allows him to manipulate the Spiritual attribute of Connection. The full extent of this ability is unknown, but its primary known use is to help Hoid speak the various languages of the worlds of the cosmere that he visits. The ability allows him to Connect to whatever land he is in, temporarily altering his Spiritual aspect to believe that he was raised in that place, allowing him to speak as a native.[66] While Hoid has learned naturally how to speak some foreign languages,[67] and is decent with languages, he desires to pass as a local oftentimes, which requires something beyond natural learning.[68] Generally he makes use of the his Connection ability to communicate in foreign languages.[67] This ability is not without fault though, as when Hoid speaks naturally it will fill in local idioms and phrases on its own, but if Hoid is careless and focuses on a specific word or phrase the ability may fail and he will say the word verbatim in his own tongue[66] or it may be said in an odd way.[69] Hoid is an expert in using his Connection ability, but even he sometimes makes mistakes. This is the reason he occasionally slips up and may say words that confuse others,[70] such as coin[13] and bunny[71] on Roshar. As Hoid has demonstrated the ability to fluently speak foreign languages before the knowledge of unsealed metalminds became widespread,[18] it is unlikely that he is making use of Feruchemical chromium to maniupulate Connection.

Metallic Arts

Hoid retrieved and may have ingested a bead of Lerasium from the Well of Ascension so that he could become an allomancer.[72][73][74] He does appear to consume metal in Shallan's flashback the same way an Allomancer would.[48][75] Brandon also said that he did it to make people act a certain way, implying that he was burning brass or zinc.[76]

Awakening

Hoid has additional Breath, something that a scene in Words of Radiance seems to confirm, as he mentions how playing and tuning an instrument was easier now with "perfect pitch"[71] - something granted to those with the Second Heightening (at least 200 breaths).[77] It is confirmed again in Oathbringer, when he Awakens a doll prior to leaving Kholinar.[35]

Surgebinder

He has most likely bonded a Cryptic, which will allow him to access the surges of Illumination and Transformation. [35]

Storytelling Method

Hoid tells stories with smoke[27] and sand[26], literally.

Sand

“ I only tell stories, Your Grace. They may be truths, they may be fictions. All I know is that the stories themselves exist and that I must tell them. ”

— Hoid to Siri on the truth of his stories[26]

In Warbreaker, Lightsong calls Hoid to tell the story of Hallandren history to him and Siri. As he told the story, he dropped sands, dusts, and small objects. As he told the story he began by trailing sand out of his hand, then he added a powdery black sand, when both trails mixed it became a white sand. He began to scatter fern leaves and then threw the handful up with blue and deep red dust making it seem like a minor explosion. He sprinkled silver glitter in front of him, then trailed powdery brown dirt. Black dust, and then flower petals. He then sent out a spray of half a dozen colors from both hands. Then bright yellow dust from one hand and black from the other. Torn writing on paper, followed by metal bits, black charcoal dust from both hands, he crumbled clay, sprinkled golden dust around, bits of grass and earth, a white powder and then a spray of water that turned into mist.

Smoke

While telling stories with smoke he uses a flute, blowing the smoke, it may be Lightweaving that causes patterns and images to appear in smoke.

In The Way of Kings the chasms echoed the music allowing him to speak and play without the music ever seeming to stop. It is unclear how the flute could be used without chasms or canyons.

Known Pseudonyms

Suspected Pseudonyms

  • Midius[34] Midius is a name Hoid uses in an unpublished work; it is probable that Ash is referring to Hoid.

Speculation

Worldsingers & Worldbringers

The names of the Worldsingers, a group of storytellers on Roshar, and the Conclave of Worldbringers, the leading body of the original Terris religion, are strikingly similar. Brandon has stated that this is not a coincidence.[83] Some believe that Hoid is a common root to both of these organizations, one of which, the Worldbringers, was very Realmatically aware.[84] There may be also a connection between the Worldsingers and the Dawnsingers, due to similarity of names.

Lerasium Bead & Allomancy

Brandon has confirmed that Hoid does in fact have a lerasium bead.[85][11][61][86][61] 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.[73][87][76] The First Letter also mentions an "element" which its author is keeping safe. This could refer to Hoid and his lerasium.

Quotes

The Way of Kings

“The foolishness of men who care, Dalinar, and the brilliance of those who do not. The second depend on the first—but also exploit the first first—while the first misunderstand the second, hoping that the second are more like the first. And all of their games steal our time. Second by second. ”

—Hoid to Dalinar[29]

“ Nonsense. Balderdash. Figgldygrak. Isn't it odd that gibberish words are often the sounds of other words, cut up and dismembered, then stitched into something like them—yet wholly unlike them at the same time?

"I wonder if you could do that to a man. Pull him apart, emotion by emotion, bit by bit, bloody chunk by bloody chunk. Then combine them back together into something else, like a Dysian Aimian. If you do put a man together like that, Dalinar, be sure to name him Gibberish, after me. Or perhaps Gibletish.

”

— Hoid to Dalinar (after namedropping Adonalsium)[29]

“ I've abandoned my real name. But when next we meet, I'll think of a clever one for you to call me. Until then, Wit will suffice—or if you must, you may call me Hoid. ”

— Hoid to Dalinar[29]

“ I began life as a thought, a concept, words on a page. That was another thing I stole. Myself. Another time, I was named for a rock."

"A pretty one, I hope."
"A beautiful one," the man said. "And one that became completely worthless for my wearing it.

”

— Hoid to Kaladin[27]

“ What you saw belongs to you. A story doesn’t live until it is imagined in someone’s mind."

"What does the story mean, then?"
"It means what you want it to mean. The purpose of a storyteller is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think upon. Too often, we forget that.

”

— Hoid to Kaladin on stories[27]

“ People see in stories what they're looking for, my young friend. I have no answers for you. Most days, I feel I never have had any answers. I've come to your land to chase an old acquaintance, but I end up spending most of my time hiding from him instead. ”

— Hoid to Kaladin[27]

“ Can you feel it? Something just changed. I believe that's the sound the world makes when it pisses itself ”

— Hoid to the Kholinar city guards[30]

“ What is it we value? Innovation. Originality. Novelty. But most importantly...timeliness. I fear you may be too late, my confused, unfortunate, friend. ”

— Hoid to Taln[30]

Words of Radiance

“ You must not trust yourself with me. If I have to watch this world crumble and burn to get what I need, I will do so. With tears, yes, but I would let it happen. ”

— Hoid (as Wit) to Dalinar[1]
