“Coriantumr Was King over All the Land”

W. Cleon Skousen

We learn that Ether appears on the scene as a prophet of God even though his father, who should be the king, is in captivity. Ether would be the next in line to be king.

However, the usurper on the throne is named Coriantumr, a name very similar to that of Ether's father.
