Corianton
According to the Book of Mormon, Corianton (/kɔːr.iːˈæn.tʌn/[1]) was a Nephite missionary, the third son of Alma the Younger (the first chief judge). Circa 74 BC (17th year of the reign of the judges), Corianton went with his older brother Shiblon and his father Alma, and 5 others (Amulek, Zeezrom, Ammon, Aaron, Omner, and Himni),[2] on a proselytizing mission to the Zoramites in Antionum, while his eldest brother Helaman stayed behind. The group witnessed the peculiar worship of the Zoramites, including the prayers upon the Rameumptom.
His father Alma reprimanded him for his grievous sins, commanded him to repent, and preached to him about the afterlife, the Resurrection, and the Atonement.[3] Shortly thereafter, Alma called him again to preach to the people.[4] The last account in the Book of Mormon of Corianton is that he journeyed to a northern land to deliver provisions.[5]
