The son of two prominent Gifted rights activists, Cam grew up with a humble, middle class background in New York. He was an articulate, athletic, intelligent child who performed well in school and tested for his Gift earlier than most. It turned out that not only was he Gifted, but he had a rare affinity for shadow magic.
In high school, Cam was a high-achieving student, a member of the Model UN, the debate team, and the swim team, and voted Most Likely to Become President. Every summer, he went away with his parents to volunteer all over the world, learning several languages and developing a [DEEP LOVE/INTEREST/ETC IN OTHER CULTURES]. Cam attended university on full scholarship, starting off pre-med before switching to communications after his first disaster relief volunteer experience, where he saw the discrepancy between the support people needed and what they were given.
Cam turned down the Masters/Doctorate route in favour of entering the workforce directly. He took freelance humanitarian interpreter jobs for the UN, assisted with various disaster relief efforts across the world, and worked with organizations providing medical care or aiding refugees in third world countries. With experience and immersion, he became a skilled cultural mediator, specializing in humanitarian outreach to conflict stricken areas. It was after his work in Afghanistan, convincing local warlords to allow foreign aid after an earthquake and landslide, that he was approached by the MIA, the [QUICK EXPLANATION OF WHAT THE MIA IS], and offered a job.
Cam worked himself to the bone for the cause until his network of contacts spanned the globe, and he was managing other MIA agents and assigning them himself. This is how Cam earned the nickname of 'The Spider' and became a world renowned shaper, both respected and feared by many. [Maybe mention how many years he's been with the MIA up to this point/his age for this mission. Also mention what the Afghanistan job was about.] It was on a job in Afghanistan he met Mazin, a Gifted arcane warlord who had protected his people by staying completely closed off to the outside world.
Cam spent months with Mazin's clan, learning their dialect, their culture, traditions, and ways. In that time, he became acquainted with Mazin, clashing with him and his rigid point of view at first. And, after nearly six months, Cam was madly in love with Mazin-- and also his people-- and was accepted into their tribe. A year into his stay, Mazin asked Cam to become his third consort, and Cam swore himself to the warlord, compromising his mission and loyalty to the MIA.
