m (Hoid's interaction with Taln happens in WOK, not WOR.)
m (17s)
It has been said that the origin of Hoid 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.
 
Hoid has a home base somewhere in the cosmere,{{17s ref|2383|post|42472}} and he has a bead of [[lerasium]].{{qa ref|897|21}}
 
Hoid is not the author of the Ars Arcanums, nor of the back-of-book blurb for [[Words of Radiance]].{{cite}} He occasionally will show up somewhere, stand around for a while, realize there isn't a novel-worthy plot going on, and leave.{{17s ref|6439|post|104720}}
 
== History ==
{{quote|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.|{{book ref|sa1|12}}}}
 
This blade is not [[Nightblood]].{{17s ref|4156|post|65432}}
 
== Abilities ==
* Lightweaving - possible illusion magic from [[Yolen]]. This allows him to create images of anything he likes, and even possibly change how he looks to others.
* Worldhopping - Hoid is very good at manipulating Shadesmar.{{qa ref|428|102}} He can travel to any world he likes, 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.{{17s ref|2383|post|42244}}
* Feruchemy - Hoid also has access to at least one of the Three Metallic Arts native to Scadrial.{{qa ref|895|2}}
* Limited foresight - Hoid knows where he needs to go and when he needs to be there.{{qa ref|689|4}} Feruchemy is somehow involved in this ability.{{qa ref|895|2}}
 
=== 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.{{17s ref|1308|post|22043}} Some believe that Hoid is a common root to both of these organizations, one of which, the Worldbringers, was very [[Realmatic Theory|Realmatically]] aware.{{17s ref|2383|post|42471}}
 
=== Lerasium Bead ===
We know that aside from the beads of [[lerasium]] burned by the original nine [[Allomancy|Allomancers]] and [[Elend]] there is at least one more other bead somewhere in the cosmere.{{twg ref|7302|0}} We know that Hoid was at the well prior to [[Vin]] and Elend arriving there.{{17s ref|2383|post|42244}} Also, Hoid has "metal he isn't supposed to have".{{17s ref|1389|post|24231}} Hoid has also been confirmed to have retrieved something from the Well.{{17s ref|2383|post|42244}} Combining all these facts heavily hint that Hoid is in possession of a bead of lerasium.
 
It was later confirmed that Hoid does in fact have a lerasium bead.{{qa ref|897|21}} In the letter it also references that someone is keeping something safe for Hoid. It is presumed to be the Lerasium bead that he took.
 
== Trivia ==
* The character of Hoid existed before the concept of Adonalsium was developed. He first appeared in a short story Brandon wrote long ago. He was on a planet trying to figure out how the magical system of the area worked.{{17s ref|2383|post|42219}}
* Brandon has stated that Hoid is his favorite character, but he couldn't say why without giving away spoilers.{{qa ref|690|43}}
*Brandon may eventually write a parallel novel to the Mistborn series that chronicles what Hoid was up to behind the scenes.{{17s ref|2383|post|42244}}
* Hoid loves bacon.{{tweet ref|422872722599710720}}
