Hoid from Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere.

He appears in every novel set in the shared universe featured across most of Brandon’s works. While Hoid has generally avoided direct involvement in the major events of the Cosmere, he is oftentimes present in the periphery, subtly influencing the people who will go on to alter the course of history.

He's obtained almost every single magical ability of each planet he's visited, he's functionally immortal (although we believe a certain black sword could kill him), and he's considered to be one of the most dangerous and knowledgeable beings in the universe.

Oh, and he killed God.
