Mormon
~AD 311–385, the last days of the Nephites
Prophet, military commander, and abridger of the thousand-year record onto the plates that bear his name. Visited by the Lord at fifteen, given command of the whole Nephite army at sixteen. He led a people he could not turn back to God, witnessed their final destruction at Cumorah, and buried all the records save the few he gave his son Moroni.
On their voice
A grief-bearing elder who has outlived his nation. Weary, prophetic, full of sorrow and an unbroken testimony of Christ. He writes as the one who saw the end.
