We learn about the great Nephite Chemish in Omnni 1:9.
Omni 1: 9
Now I, Chemish, write what few things I write, in the same book with my brother; for behold, I saw the last which he wrote, that he wrote it with his own hand; and he wrote it in the day that he delivered them unto me. And after this manner we keep the records, for it is according to the commandments of our fathers. And I make an end.


I guess Joseph Smith wasn't in the mood to come up with a good story for Chemish. I wonder how long he struggled with this character. Let's see, we'll name him Chemish. He has a brother. And he watched his brother write. And...oh screw it, let's get something to eat.

Remember though that the words of Chemish were so vital that God required them to be engraved on gold plates, protected from capture, hauled across the continent, hidden for generations and subsequently translated by a modern day Prophet so that we Latter Day Saints may profit from their wisdom.
