Moroni was a prophet in the Book of Mormon. There are people alive today with the name Moroni, named after the Book of Mormon prophet.
Captain Moroni points the Nephite military in the right direction... If you are referring to the Moroni statue found on Mormon temples, that is the prophet Moroni, not captain Moroni. They are two different men with the same name, and lived about 500 years apart. The Moroni statue most often faces east, but not always.
The name Moroni is of Polynesian origin and means "victory" or "successful one." It is also the name of an important figure in the Book of Mormon.
According to Joseph Smith's history, verse 38, Moroni said "I will reveal unto you the Priesthood, by the hand of Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord."

Breno Moroni's birth name is Breno Moroni Giro Barroso.
Moroni, according to the Book of Mormon, was the last Nephite prophet and military commander who lived in North America in the late fourth and early fifth centuries. Latter-day Saint theology can be interpreted to mean that after his death Moroni was resurrected and became an angel. In addition to the Book of Mormon account, Joseph Smith and the Three Witnesses also testified they saw Moroni in the form of an angel of light.

Moroni was originally a man found in the Book of Mormon. There are two mentioned there. One who is a military captain, and another who is the son of Mormon (the man who compiled the Book of Mormon). Angel Moroni is Moroni, son of Mormon. This Moroni is the last prophet of the Book of Mormon, who lived in about 421 a.d. As the last rememaining prophet before all the world went apostate (the Christians in the Old World had already fallen away by this time), it was his duty to restore what was lost to these latter days. He did so by returning to the earth as an angel, teaching Joseph Smith and giving him the Book of Mormon. A statue of the Angel Moroni is found on the majority of the Temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as he has become a symbol of the restoration of ancient truths.
