Very little of Hoid's origin is known beyond the fact that he was present at the [[Shattering]] of [[Adonalsium]].{{twg ref|7302|0}} He knew the original [[shard|shardholdersShardholders]] personally, was friends with Rayse,{{qa ref|1105|1}} and Tanavast once bought him a drink.{{book ref|sa2|epilogue}} His appearances are listed below, organized by book series and not necessarily in [[Chronology|chronological]] order. He makes no appearance in [[Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell]].{{qa ref|1115|50}}

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".{{book ref|twok|54}} He also tells [[Kaladin]] the story of [[Derethil]] and the ''[[Wandersail]]''.{{book ref|sa1|57}} 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 These three men are [[Galladon]], [[Demoux]], and Vao (or Blunt) who is from an unpublished book. He appears again towards the end of the book as [[Taln]] arrives in [[Kholinar]].{{book ref|twok|epilogue}}

Hoid is also seen acting as the carriage driver for [[Adolin]] when he is visiting [[Shallan]] at [[Shattered Plains|Sebarial's warcamp]]. He speaks to [[Kaladin]] about his flute and mentions that he wants an interesting story from him. When [[Shallan]] recognisesrecognizes 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.{{book ref|sa2|55}}

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}}

* Allomancy - Hoid retrieved a bead of Lerasium from the Well of Ascension so that he could become an allomancer.{{qa ref|1013|1}}{{qa ref|1047|9}} Brandon has been very careful with his wording{{qa ref|1047|15}}, so it is unclear if he used it for that purpose, but he does appear to consume metal in Shallan's flashback the same way an allomancerAllomancer would.{{book ref|sa2|45}}{{qa ref|1073|1}} Brandon also said that he did it to make people act a certain way, implying that he was burning [[brass]] or [[zinc]].{{qa ref|1048|29}}

* Awakening - Hoid likely has additional [[Breath]], something that a scene in Words of Radiance seems to confirm, as he mentions how playing an instrument was easier now with '"perfect pitch'"{{book ref|sa2|59}} - something granted to those with the Second Heightening.{{qa ref|949|11}}

Brandon has confirmed that Hoid does in fact have a lerasium bead.{{qa ref|897|21}}{{twg ref|7302|0}}{{17s ref|post|42244}}{{17s ref|post|24231}}{{17s ref|post|42244}} His original intent in acquiring the bead was to become an allomancerAllomancer, but Brandon's careful wording throws into question whether or not Hoid actually used the bead for that purpose.{{qa ref|1047|9}}{{qa ref|1047|15}}{{qa ref|1048|29}} The [[Letters#First Letter|First Letter]] also mentions an "element" which its author is keeping safe. This could refer to Hoid and his Lerasiumlerasium.

As Hoid developed that type of storytelling,{{qa ref|590|40}} it's possible that the "man who didn't know who he was" is himself. Also, "where gods have died" and "many, many years ago" seem to speak of the Shattering. This land spoken of may be Sel as The Letter in the Epigraphsepigraphs of The Way of Kings mentions that two of the sixteen died there.
