| − | 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.

| |
| − | 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. Not much is known about Ether's call to be a prophet, only that the spirit filled him to a point that he could not hold back from prophesying.

| − | 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.
