Te only times when his face changes are when he is angry, scheming, coming up with ideas or immensely pleased. He also wears a specially-designed magical body support due to his paraplegia, which returns him control of his legs.

History: Moia is the genius, but paraplegic head of E.G.O.E.S (Elegant Geniuses Of Equestrian Society), originally a group of Equestria's most esteemed scolars, scientists, inventors, and all-round geniuses, now an immensely successful producer of weaponry and party supplies and institute for scientific research, sometimes of a... questionable fashion.
Moia was born in Germaneigh, and from a young age excelled in engineering and was fascinated by the idea of inventing new things. His ambitions got bigger and bigger, and eventually moved to Equestria to pursue a more concrete career in engineering, setting up a small company named GruberTek. He started off relatively unknown, but eventually he became more and more well-known as ponies saw his inventions and spread the word. skill earned him a place amongst the ranks of E.G.O.E.S.
However, this was not the end of the story by a long shot. Equestrian high society was nice, but Moia still felt a sense of anonyminity now that he had joined E.G.O.E.S, not helped by the fact that his induction had meant that GruberTek had been integrated into E.G.O.E.S, its wares reduced to a miniature brand-name. He wanted more. He wanted to taste the power that the E.G.O.E.S top dogs had.
So it was that he began working his way up through the ranks, slowly but surely gaining respect and admiration until, finally, he was elected to become the new head of E.G.O.E.S. Finally, he had his power... But it was constantly in danger. Other ponies in E.G.O.E.S were vying for the position he now held. So he decided to take drastic measures to make sure that he stayed as the top dog.
Slowly but surely, those who questioned him were stripped of their positions and their memberships revoked. Some even disappeared completely and were only heard from rarely. Entire product lines were cancelled. Slowly but surely, E.G.O.E.S was reshaped like clay in Moia's iron grip, slowly transforming from a collection of Equestria's most esteemed inventors to a company ruled by just one.
In this time, Moia changed too. The pony who had once been an up-and-coming inventor had become a powerful, greedy, perhaps even slightly evil, genius. The world was his oyster, and E.G.O.E.S was the pearl inside. He had made it.
TD History:
At some point during the Five Years' War, Moia was contacted by a powerful warlord to make weapons and armour, with promises of many riches in return, to which Moia was quick to accept; he was never one to displease a paying customer. The massive payments that Moia received for his contribution caused E.G.O.E.S' profits to skyrocket, shooting up the ladder to earn its place as the top weapons consumer in the world. It was only after the war that Moia discovered that the warlord was in fact Queen Chrysalis, who had been using E.G.O.E.S' weaponry and armaments to fuel her efforts to conquer all of Equestria. Initially, Moia was angered by this - until he learned that the Queen was willing to reward him with more than just riches for his efforts.
Moia soon became not just a powerful CEO soon after that, but also an important public figure. E.G.O.E.S' HQ was moved from Canterlot the newly-built E.G.O.E.S Innovation Complex in Fillydelphia, funded by the Queen herself. E.G.O.E.S became the centre of technological development for everything, from medicine to transport to street lights. E.G.O.E.S was everywhere, and so was Moia.
