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his stories, as in [[Warbreaker]] and [[The Way of Kings]], does not originate from [[White Sand]], but from another unpublished story, [[The Liar of Partinel]].{{qa ref|590|40}} In Warbreaker, Siri asked Hoid where he learned his style of story telling. Hoid answered, “I"I learned it many, many years ago from a man who didn’tdidn'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,{{qa ref|622|135}} 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.{{17s ref|post|42472}}

Very little of Hoid's origin is known beyond the fact that he was present at the [[Shattering]] of [[Adonalsium]] on [[Yolen]].{{twg ref|7302|0}} He knew at least some of the original [[Vessel]]s personally, was friends with [[Rayse]],{{qa ref|1105|1}} and [[Tanavast]] once bought him a drink.{{book ref|sa2|epilogue}} Hoid was once offered a Shard at the time of the Shattering, but refused to take it.{{wob ref|date=2017-3-24|3337|Leipzig Book Fair}} He also did something in his past that he regretted.{{wob ref|date=2017-11-13|8225|Oathbringer release party}}

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,{{book ref|twok|54}} hawk-like and arrow shaped. Hoid is tall and thin{{book ref|twok|12}} and also has a sharp nose and jaw with delicate eyebrows.{{book ref|twok|54}} He tends to cock his head to one side{{book ref|twok|57}} and has keen blue eyes.{{book ref|twok|12}} Hoid's hair is white, although he occasionally dyes it.{{book ref|twok|i|1}} There is a particular reason for his hair being white, which will be revealed in the future.{{wob ref|date=2018-2-23|9236|English Reading Series at BYU 2018}}

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.{{book ref|twok|epilogue}}{{book ref|twok|57}} If he was asked about whether he called himself a good man personality-wise, Hoid would reply with a "No".{{wob ref|date=2016-11-22|1704|Arcanum Unbounded release party}}

Hoid cannot easily kill people "because of certain things in his past."{{qa ref|1044|9}} Rock says he cannot hurt man because it is forbidden by other gods.{{book ref|sa2|46}} He also tells a young Shallan, "You needn't fear me. I'm terribly ineffective at hurting people. I blame my upbringing."{{book ref|sa2|45}} Hoid apologizes to Kelsier after beating him in a fight, stating he doesn't have the inclination to do real harm to him.{{msh ref|2|1}} 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.{{wob ref|date=2017-6-24|2010|Supanova 2017 - Perth}} 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.{{book ref|sa3|epilogue}}{{wob ref|date=2017-11-21|8498|Oathbringer Chicago signing}} This is an involuntary trait.{{wob ref|date=2017-11-28|8687|Oathbringer London signing}}

On Roshar as [[Elhokar|King Elhokar]]'s Wit he appears to be in his mid-30's{{wob ref|date=2016-11-22|1705|Arcanum Unbounded release party}} and was described as

| Tall and thin, the King’sKing'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.

The blade is not magically invested but has personal value to Hoid.{{qa ref|1181|6|Brandon on Hoid|date=2016-12-03}} It is a symbol of office for the King's Wit, though Hoid "isn't even that good with a sword".{{wob ref|date=2015-1-21|896|Firefight Phoenix signing}}

Hoid does not yet have the abilities of every planet he's visited.{{qa ref|1110|5}} Some of his powers predate the [[Shattering]], but none of them are gained through [[Hemalurgy]].{{qa ref|1115|44}} This is because he does not want to "open himself to the influence of Shards", so "he'd more likely do things the hard way".{{wob ref|date=2015-4-2|656|Minicon 2015}} When asked about how many types of magic he can use, Brandon has pointed out that they are all really part of the same system so it's difficult to count, but he wouldn't say that Hoid knows 'hundreds' of varieties of magic.{{qa ref|1094|43}}

Hoid is able to regenerate body parts and even heal his soul if it is severed.{{qa ref|1071|2}} He is unafraid of Jasnah's Shardblade saying, "I'd be surprised if that little knife of yours poses me any real threat ...." Sanderson has also said that Hoid would do well in a fight between all his protagonists because he is "really, really, really hard to kill."{{qa ref|1044|9}} Hoid comments about repressing his healing for a few days to slow the regrowth of a tooth he had deliberately knocked out.{{Book ref|sa3|epilogue}} This ability comes from a magic system that "predates any of the others".{{wob ref|date=2017-11-21|8498|Oathbringer Chicago signing}} Presumably, this means that the magic system Hoid uses to heal himself is pre-Shattering.
