Camus is a knight of the [[Matilda Knightdom]]. | Camus is a knight of the [[Matilda Knightdom]]. Originally from the [[Kamaro Alliance of Free Knights]] in [[Grassland]], Camus was born the second son of a knight family that possessed a domain. Growing up, he would become childhood friends with [[Maki]], the daughter of a trader who frequented his family's lands. In Kamaro, only eldest sons were eligible to become knights and so Camus moved to Matilda in his youth and took the test to become a knight. | ||
He and [[Miklotov]] took the test in the same year and they set a new record for the longest mock fight during their exam. Both were accepted on the same day as knights and Camus rose through the ranks of the knighthood, eventually becoming the leader of the [[Matilda Knights|Red Knights of Matilda]] whereas Miklotov became the leader of the Blue Knights. | He and [[Miklotov]] took the test in the same year and they set a new record for the longest mock fight during their exam.

When [[Hero (Suikoden II)|the hero]] came to [[Rockaxe Castle]] in an attempt to convince Gorudo to ally with the [[New State Army]], Camus broke his oath as a knight to join the New State Army in order to fight against the Highland Kingdom, disgusted as he was with Gorudo's methods and lack of intervention in the on-going conflict. | |||
After his resignation, Camus convinced around half of the Red and Blue Knights to join him and Miklotov. As a member of the New State Army, Camus fought against the [[Highland Kingdom]], even commanding one of the flanking units used against [[Kiba Windamier]] while defending the [[New State Army Headquarters]]. | After his resignation, Camus convinced around half of the Red and Blue Knights to join him and Miklotov.
