Book of Mormon interpreter/writer and U.S. presidential candidate Joseph Smith fulfilled a great many roles in his life.  Many of those roles really ticked off the locals, which is why he was shot to death while jumping out of a second-story window.  But what would have been had Joseph Smith survived this encounter? 

Colin prophesies that Joseph Smith would fulfill the destiny laid out for him in the Book of Mormon. Cody suggests that the many denominations of the Mormon church would not have engaged in Game-of-Thrones-esque battles.
