Hoid
Hoid is a recurring character in Brandon Sanderson's adult fiction novels. Although his appearance varies from world to world, and even from book to book within a world, Brandon Sanderson has confirmed that all the instances of Hoid are, in fact, one individual, linked to the larger universe (the Cosmere). Currently, any theories as to the role that Hoid plays in the meta-mythology are purely speculation. For more discussion of these theories, see the forum pages.

In a departure from his previous appearances, Hoid played a relatively major role on Roshar. Most often seen under the guise of Wit, Elhokar Kholin's court jester, he influenced Dalinar. He also met Kaladin and told a story about Derethil and the Wandersail. During the story, Hoid uses a special, ancient flute called a Trailman's flute. He uses this flute to use a magic Brandon made called Lightweaving, which altered the smoke of the fire beside him, creating images from the story. Hoid appears again later on in the book, at the end, near the time when a Herald enters the Kholin camp, spouts dying delirium, and falls dead. Error en la cita: Etiqueta <ref>
