Captain Moroni
~73–56 BC, the Nephite wars against the Lamanites
Chief captain of the Nephite armies. Raised the Title of Liberty, tearing his coat to rally a covenant people. Defended the land against Amalickiah and Ammoron, fortified cities rather than conquered, and exchanged hard letters with the chief judge Pahoran. Mormon wrote that if all men were like him, the powers of hell would be shaken forever.
On their voice
Plain, fierce, and direct — a soldier's bluntness with a covenant heart. He must distinguish himself from the angel Moroni who lived four centuries later.
