**Camus Hatana** , also known as **"Commander Hatana"**, or simply **"Hatana"**, is a character in the Alternate Void series. He is a captain in the Analeasian Royal Guard and one of Queen Olivia's Ten Knights of the Emaliza. His dream is to discover the truth of the history of Nalaa and the mysterious power and controversy surrounding it. He is the son of the current chancellor of Nalaa, Opal Hatana, and with that has been living in Analeasia since the beginning of her chancellorship.

Born in Avontasia in October of 2000, Camus grew up in the life of a politician's child. Before becoming chancellor, his mother and father both served positions as diplomatic ambassador and captain in the Nallavian legion, respectively. He would travel often to various places along side his parents and even live in places outside of Avontasia. After his mother was elected to her chancellorship, the Hatana family decided to move to Analeasia for an easier commute to work for both of his parents. He would then be enrolled in the Artenshire Academy of Analeasia, where he would study military tactics and Analeasian History.

Despite his Analeasian citzenship, Camus is very patriotic towards Nalaa. The history surrounding the Analeasian-Nallavian relationship has always left him skeptical of the Analeasian monarchy. Despite that, he aspired to become a soldier in the Nallavian legion just as his father had done. He would spend countless hours studying military tactics at the academy and would eventually run into his first ecounter with the future Queen of Analeas, Olivia.

While the two studied military tactics together, Camus and Olivia did not always see eye-to-eye. Camus never intended to be friends with the Princess and even did so much to avoid her. All he heard from her otherwise was from his mother, who was a member of the Clarific Council alongside the Princess.

Shortly before the death of Queen Annabelle, Camus' mother was asked by the queen to have Camus tutor Prince Xander as he prepared to enter his first military classes at the Artenshire Academy. While Camus agreed, it was decided that he would only do it if he could do the tutoring at the academy. While the tutoring commenced, Xander eventually warmed up to Camus and asked him if he would like to at least see Windaguard Castle. Camus would decline until the passing of the Queen, when he agreed to come as a part of the funeral of Annabelle, and the coronation of Olivia, he did not intend on making friends with the royals. The coronation would mark the first meaningful encounter between Camus and Olivia, and would spark the relationship as seen in The Five Pillars.

Camus would finally receive his request to commence boot camp for the legion. Excited to leave Analeasia, he was shocked to learn of Olivia's interest in the camp. She would oversee the process and begin to blossom a friendship with Camus over their interest in military tactics. Camus would express his honest thoughts on the royal family, but Olivia insisted that she would never force him to do anything he didn't want to do.

Upon moving back to Analeasia following the conclusion of the introduction boot camp, Camus would ponder on the decision to continue in the legion, or if he wanted to pursue something else. He would accompany Olivia and Xander on their many adventures and would end up meeting several important figures in history. Contrary to the common custom of having the Queen ask someone to joing the Ten Knights, Camus pleaded his loyalty to the crown, and Olivia would accept him as one of her Ten most prestigous individuals.
