Who was Hoid (not the current Hoid)

[Immortal Platypus]

Okay, so the name Cephandrias normally uses is Hoid, right? But he says in WoK, "You may call me Hoid... The name of someone I should have loved." So, who was Hoid?

Thanks ya'll

I don't think that we know. Based on the info from Frost's letter to Cephandrias, we can guess that Hoid was Cephandrias's mentor.

Besides the theee things we canonically know(Hoid shoulda loved him, and was his apprentice, and "a man who didn't know who he was ) theres prob a couple of WoB on him but besides that everything else is from the Liar of Partinel sample chapters, which features(very briefly) the real Hoid and Midius/Hoid

 

Though he dies in the first chapter(or is dead already depending on the version)) so we dont even get to see much

The original Hoid is confirmed to be Cephandrius's master by Endowment
