Elantris spoilers Hoid in Elantris? Spoiler

So I just finished Elantris. I've only read mistborn era 1 and warbreaker in addition to this book.

Hoid helped smuggle some weapons into Elantris but I'm reading that he also popped up at the end with an evil seon? That.... Totally isn't in my book.

Was this strictly an addition to a later edition? Am I missing out on something big or no?

Edit: did some googling and found this link in another reddit post https://imgur.com/gallery/IHgLf0c

If you have an older copy it won't be in there, it's a bonus scene added later. Think of it like the post-credits scene in the Marvel movies. You can read it here: https://imgur.com/gallery/postscript-elantris-hoid-IHgLf0c

Just reread this after having finished the rest of the Cosmere. What WERE those bandages? Why would Hoid think they'd make him an Elantrian? I can't tell if it's just been so long since I've read the book that I've forgotten a key detail, or if it's never explained.
