History
Little is known about St. Jamais's early life and service in ComStar save that he served in ROM's fearsome Blake's Wraith.[1]
Defecting to the Word of Blake in the wake of the ComStar Schism, the fanatical St. Jamais rose rapidly through the Blakist ranks, aided by his close friendship with Demona Aziz, suspected even to engage in a romantic relationship during the group's early days on Gibson. Taking her place as leader of the extremist Toyama Sect in the wake of her unexpected death, St. Jamais would further rise to the rank of Precentor Martial after the assassination of Trent Arian.[1]
In late 3065 he commissioned an upgrade to the Grim Reaper BattleMech.[3]
Jihad
On the 30th of April 3078 it was revealed by Colonel Marcel Webb - Commanding Officer of the Star Seeds mercenary unit and head of security for the allied coalition - in a news broadcast from Kittery that the allied coalition was filing criminal charges on behalf of all the allied nations against a number of senior Word of Blake senior or high profile figures, including Cameron St. Jamais. The coalition intended to charge St. Jamais with terrorism, murder and genocide.[4]
Death
During Operation SCOUR, Cameron lead the defense of North America. Blakist forces launched a devastating counterstrike against Devlin Stone's forces near Little Rock, but were forced to retreat to the Devil's Tower Castle Brian. Near the castle, St. Jamais fought a terrible duel against Stone, and was defeated.[5][2]
BattleMechs
St. Jamais was known to pilot a heavily modified Awesome named "Demona".[6][2]
Notes
- He was rumored to be the father of Kali Liao's son, Cameron Victor St. Jamais-Liao (born 3064);[7] There is potentially a second male child born in 3069, as well.[8]
