Was Allomancer Jak in the newspapers in The Alloy of Law just Hoid in disguise?
No. I actually just published a short story with him in it.
(He also said that he came up with the idea for him in an RPG writing group, or something along those lines.)
The short story in question is in the Alloy of Law supplement of the Mistborn Adventure Game.
