## **Background / Personal history:**

Cameron was turned in his early thirties, wandering until he ended up in a clan of vampires determined to peacefully live alongside other species. They were skilled in magic and agriculture, combining the two to create crops that could sate their nutritional needs without the need to drink the blood of other species. The clan had settled down in a town, blending in with the other residents.

That sentiment did not save them from vampire hunters however and Cameron's entire clan was eradicated. Cameron himself was mortally wounded, but saved by a passing wizard in exchange for his freedom. The wizard bound him to a coin with a contract. Whoever held the coin would be the vampire's master and it could only be passed on to good-aligned people.

After changing hands many times, one of the coin's owners changed, using Cameron to threaten and extort the town. When he was about to issue the order to kill an innocent person, Cameron turned against him with the help of a local priest who had gotten ahold of the coin. To this day Cameron feels deep-seated guilt about killing one of his masters, the pact magic having pulled at his soul so violently he thought he would have been torn apart. The backlash for attacking his master was so severe that Cameron ended up asleep for 50 years.

He was awoken by robbers, disguising as musicians for an ongoing festival. Thieves that Reine had been suspicious of and followed into temple cellar. During the scuffle with the robbers, Cameron's master, the Priest passed the coin on to Reine. They fought together to subdue the bandits. After the priest clued Reine in about the whole coin business, Cameron and her went to fetch the guards, where Reine asked him to tell her about himself.

After the guards had dealt with the robbers, Reine took Cameron to the nearby woods, where she freed him from the pact, much to his surprise. She hadn't done so lightly, but according to her words she had been taught to greet the world with open arms and that 483 years of slavery was something she just couldn't agree with. Cameron almost couldn't believe it and ended up just cloud gazing. Reine joined him.

Their peace wasn't meant for long, as they returned to town, the mercenaries after Reine found her and a fight ensued. Cameron helped her conquer her fear and fight back, but as the guards came upon the scene they saw Cameron as a threat, gravely wounding him. His memories of what happened after are fuzzy. He couldn't say what happened to the guards, all he recalls is Reine offering him her blood. He refused at first, but Reine urged him, panicking as she thought he was going to die. He begrudgingly agreed in the end, worrying about betraying what his clan stood for. But for what it was worth, it kept him alive and healed his wounds.

Reine snuck back into the city and informed Paciano. The three of them fled the city in the merchant's carriage and ended up travelling together for quite a while. They eventually parted ways when Paciano had Reine settle down in Niquamui and join the Firebreathing Kittens. Wanting to further his research into crops that could emulate the properties of blood, Cameron set out on his own to get more plant samples and enjoy his freedom.
