A Trojan horse is malware that appears to be something else. It may appear to be a harmless application, such as a game. Inside the software is code that is intended to do something unpleasant when it runs.

Why did they make the Trojan horse?

People make trojan horses to silently hijack the victim's computer without their noticing. Trojan horses are VERY deadly, and can sometimes not be removed from certain antiviruses. Trojans can do everything from track keystrokes, webpages you pull up, and record bank account information, but most trojans mostly do the latter. If you are afraid of getting trojans (which everyone is) download and install a trojan horse remover.
