Here is a quick Wiki look into what this character represents:
The Angel Moroni (pronounced /mɒˈroʊnaɪ/) is an angel that Joseph Smith, Jr. said visited him on numerous occasions, beginning on September 21, 1823. The angel was the guardian of the golden plates, which Smith said were buried in a hill near his home in western New York, and which he said were the source material for the Book of Mormon. Moroni is an important figure in the theology of the Latter Day Saint movement, and is featured prominently in Mormon architecture and art. Three Witnesses besides Joseph Smith said they saw Moroni in 1829 visions, as did several other witnesses who each said they had their own vision.
Moroni is said to be the same person as a Book of Mormon prophet-warrior named Moroni, who was the last to write in the golden plates. The book says that Moroni buried them before he died after a great battle between two pre-Columbian civilizations. After he died, he was resurrected, became an angel, and was tasked with guarding the golden plates, and with eventually directing Joseph Smith to their location in the 1820s. According to Latter Day Saint movement theology, Moroni still has the plates and several other Book of Mormon artifacts in his possession.

Trying to figure out what to make him was fun, He was orinally going to be a jaguar or something but I looked up the cougars habitat and realized he covered most of the west Americas. which made the most sense for him. and I liked the light brown/gold colors that would have matched a gold robe but I ended up liking the white robe better.
and then of course a friend of mine asked if I picked a cougar because I was a BYU fan. XD

Mormon Religion 0, Simple Logic 1.
Also, if even minor skirmishes leave marks on a land, then why haven't archaeologists found the after-effects of the war of Coriamtur which supposedly killed millions. Where are the large supplies of steel weaponry and mines for that steel, when the only metals known to the Native Americans were turqouise and copper?

And why would Joseph Smith list wheat instead of maize as the main starch of the Indians? If the BoM is supposed to be a book giving us a better understanding of how the Natives lives, why no references at all to potatoes, tomatoes, squash, corn, chocolate, or any other food exclusive to the Americas?
Yup. There's historians who have found evidence to back it up. Also, I remember reading in my American Literature class a speech by a Native American around the time of Spanish Exploration that used the possibility of it within the argument, and this was hundreds of years before the Book of Mormon was even published. But really, the message of the Book itself is more important than whether or not it's true historically, in my opinion.
well yeah we can learn things from fictitious works but we must not let ourselves be in denial of facts that my contradict those works of fiction,
also I'm curious on the historical and scientific evidence of Israelite s in Americas prior to Columbus or the vikings or the Asians who crossed earlier then that or at the same time . There's evidence archelogical as well as DNA for humans crossing the Bering land bridge yes but none of Israelite decent . :I
Well, I just did a little bit of research, and although there almost no archaeological evidence and absolutely no genetic proof of the Book of Mormon as of yet, I found a wonderful article that discusses the geographical, literary, and cultural proof of the Book. I read the article all the way through, and I learned quite a bit; it was an enjoyable read, and I hope that you would maybe be willing to dedicate some time to reading the entire thing. The link is here: http://maxwellinstitute.byu.edu/pub.....nscripts/?id=1 . If you don't feel like going through the whole thing (which is understandable; it's pretty long), I highly suggest you take a look at paragraphs 11 ("There are other things to consider...), 21-28 (There are other things that Joseph Smith...), 12 (There is more that can be said...), 31-32 (But even more interesting, is that...), 44-45 (There is another very strong Near Eastern...), and 55-58 (I teach Arabic about half-time...).
I also suggest reading through the Book of Mormon on your own; I'm on my second read-through of it right now. You can read it for free through lds.org/scriptures, by downloading the "gospel library" app put out by the LDS church, or by ordering a free copy from http://mormon.org/free-book-of-mormon
