Joseph Cameron II (b. 2600 – d. 2641) was the son of First Lord of the Star League Nicholas Cameron.

History

Early life

Joseph Cameron had, by any and all accounts, a wonderful childhood. Despite being the son of First Lord Nicholas Cameron, Joseph was incorrigible from a young age, and would remain so throughout the duration of his life. During the latter of his teenage years, Nicholas sent Joseph on a tour of the Star League with several prominent men and women of the realm. The hope was that Joseph would be influenced by these figures, and that with a little guidance and direction, convince him to abandon his rebellious and uncooperative ways. This was, unfortunately, not the case. Upon return, the 16-year old Joseph Cameron seemed worse than the way he'd left, and his parents threw up their hands.

Turning him over to the SLDF, he was sent to what was then the newly build War College of Mars as a Cadet. His parents had given the college staff strict orders not to give their son any modicum of preferential treatment due to his name, and his father had decreed that, if anything, the college should give the boy an extra-strong taste of reality so "he'll learn that foolish actions can lead to serious consequences." Joseph's true self nature, it seemed, could not be broken, however.

Marriage and children


Death and afterward

Joseph was killed during a training accident with the 112th Royal Hussar Regiment. His 'Mech stepped on an improperly set Vibrabomb that blew its leg off, as Joseph attempted to eject his system failed killing him instantly.[2]
