DocHoliday Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Well, Leras refers to Hoid as Cephandrius. Is it his real name? Hold is one of the few people who seem to know the original names of the Shard Holders after all. So it's not a stretch to say they knew him.

Purelake Earthquake Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 All this time, I thought it was Khriss who dropped that name, but I checked, it was Leras. We know that at least some of the Dragonsteel sequence takes place on Yolen before the Shattering and it tells Hoid's origin story. Hoid 'steals' the name Hoid somewhere around this time, probably closer to the beginning of the sequence rather than the end. I think it could go either way. It could've been a pseudonym he'd taken somewhere down the road, or it could've been his name before he started taking psuedonyms in the first place.

Voidus Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Nope, just another alias. His real name is revealed in the Liar of Partinel, I think there's a sample available somewhere if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taveren Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 though it is possible that brandon will go with a different name in liar so it could be Cephandrius. Thought i like the name in liar better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purelake Earthquake Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 It's also possible that Hoid could've had multiple names initially, like Wax (less likely) or just a first name, last name situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AerionBFII Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Nope, just another alias. His real name is revealed in the Liar of Partinel, I think there's a sample available somewhere if you're interested. I thought it wasn't complete 100% Canon? Well he might have still been shifty about handing out his name...You know give somebody your name and they have power over y-.. Oh wait!!
