Question about who this is

[+Invocation]

There's someone in Alloy of Law, during the Yomin-Ostlin wedding, that was talking to the wedding couple and was described as "a scruffy beggar dressed in all black." So I'm pretty sure this is Hoid, but I just reread Warbreaker and it threw me off a little. Please put this to rest for me, one way or the other.

Yep, that's him:

At the Yomen wedding [in The Alloy of Law], the newlyweds are talking to "a scruffy man who looked like a beggar, dressed all in black". Is this an appearance of Hoid?

Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased)

His answer was that yes, in fact, it was.

For future reference, the Coppermind article on Hoid has a listing of all of his appearances: https://coppermind.net/wiki/Hoid#History.
