His appearance in the book is fairly limited and pretty formulaic, compared with the Bible. He kind of just shows up to give the same speeches he made in the Bible, then departs. It's a guest appearance, a cameo, if you will. He’s more like the “subject” of the BOM, Bret, rather than an actual character.

Because He first came in another book that's older then He's no longer in this one? I would argue that He is THE character of the Book Mormon! If not that, at least consider the book a sequel to the Bible with some of the same cast characters:) MCQ,

He named his son after him. 2. The war chapters in the second half of Alma are quite lengthy. Mormon went through a lot of engraving trouble to include all of the details of that era. 3. Both had debuts as army general in their teens. 4. You will not find a more glowing endorsement for anyone else in the Book of Mormon; powers of hell shaken forever? WOW. My personal favorite? The cureloms and cumons. Mystery characters! What were those things? I think Captain Moroni was Mormon’s favorite:

His anger reminds me of Achilles, yet it's source is far nobler and selfless. I’d have to say Teancum too. His anger reminds me of Achilles, yet it’s source is far nobler and selfless.

Besides Jesus, I don't know who I would pick for real.

He goes out praying in his backyard, gets mixed up in political intrigue, and then gets a message from God that he should leave town and start teaching the gospel all over the place... yet she raises their children to be righteous enough to also be called of God.
