Before joining the Talizar crew, Cameron was the leader of a band of orphaned, run-away and abandoned kids. Being an orphan himself since age 5 when his father died of illness, Cameron started to take in others like himself to make it easier to survive. After a while, he found himself leading and caring for a sizeable group of children. Being extremely resourceful and intelligent, Cameron was constantly having to learn new skills to take care of his band of children. He also became very adept at thievery, stealing the items such as food, clothing and medicine that he and his band needed to live (but he was always careful to steal from people who would not be greately affected from the loss of their goods).
