Now if you want to know his motivation, that's a different story.

The intent is the goal or objective at which the action aimed. Merely stating that an action had an objective does not specify the intent.

The motive is the desire or feeling that brought about the action.

Intention is part of the rational explanation of an action, motive part of the causal explanation.
