Ether Ether is a major narrator in the Book of Mormon. He is the principle writer of the Book of Ether, which details the history of his people, the Jaredites. Ether spent the majority of his days calling to repentance and warning the people and specifically Coriantumr about the impending destructions that would soon befall the Jaredites. His efforts proved fruitless as he watched the destruction of his people from the cavitiy of a rock.

Origins

Ether is a descendant of Jared. He traces his roots directly from the Jaredite royalty and it is quite possible that he himself was an heir to the Jaredite throne. This opportunity was not afforded him, however, as his grandfather, Moron, was overthrown and sent to live in captivity. His own father, Coriantor spent the entirety of his life in captivity and it is therefore likely that Ether himself spent a fair amount of time in captivity.

Writing

See Main Article Book of Ether The Book of Ether is principally written by Ether, though it is heavily annotated by Mormon. The book in general follows the history of the Jaredites, but more specfically it follows the history of Ethers ancestors, who ruled over the Jaredites for the majority of time. The only time the record strays from the overall history is to detail what has happened to Ether's direct ancestors. Often in these cases, the book does not name the current ruling king, but only the ancestor who was subject to the king at the time.

Genealogy

Ether began his record by listing his genealogy. Since the Book of Ether gives the details of his ancestors, this list serves as a table of contents of sorts for the Book of Ether.
