Hoid

Hoid is former King Elhokar 's Wit and entertainer. He knows useful, important things. The King's Wit was not a silly court fool such as one might find in other kingdoms. He was a sword, a tool maintained by the king. Insulting others was beneath the dignity [of] the king, so just as one used gloves when forced to handle something vile, the king retained a Wit so he didn't have to debase himself to the level of rudeness or offensiveness.

Brandon Sanderson That I won't tell you. These are the men who actually change the world. Hoid by Ari Ibarra. Wit is bored by normal human interactions, to the point that he must put constraints upon himself to keep himself engaged in normal conversations, even ones that are full of import and emotion where he maybe shouldn't be acting like this. The only way to create something that nobody hates is to ensure that it can't be loved either. This was a huge momentum killer in the story.

He actually has done a lot on other planets as well, you just haven't seen it because he hasn't been as involved with the main characters. Could he cause pain for pleasure situations?
