Name: Cameron (Cam) Samael Morgenstern

Date of Birth: 12/14/04

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Gay

Biological Parents: Sebastian (Jonathan) Morgenstern and Sarah Zaire

Appearance: He looks like the carbon copy of Sebastian but with his natural green eyes instead of black. He is underweight from childhood malnutrition but he still is perceived to be older because of his independent nature and sense of maturity.

Personality: Cameron grew up in an abusive home with his biological mother, most of his life he had to fend for himself even for things as critical as food. Over the years Cam grew more socially withdrawn and independent since it was the only way he knew to survive. He took to art very heavily as a coping mechanism, filling notebook after notebook with detailed designs and illustrations. Deep down Cameron was actually an extremely loving and playful kid who simply needed an environment where that side of him could exist openly. He was the type of kid you'd find dancing in the kitchen to his favorite music and curled up on the couch playing video games.

Demon Blood Status: Cameron inherited the special abilities that came with the demon blood but the demon blood was diluted out enough that he has an easier time controlling the impulses it brings. He has heightened emotions that can occasionally make keeping his demonic side under lock and key difficult.

Skills: He is extremely gifted in all forms of combat (much like his father), art, music, and dancing. Cameron can speak multiple languages, including multiple demon languages. He struggles more academically with the core subjects but thrives with runes and shadowhunter history.

Backstory: Cameron grew up with his abusive mother for the majority of his early childhood. He suffered constant beatings, verbal, mental, and sexual abuse. He lived with his mother's husband Michael, who he believed to be his biological father. Michael and Sarah both were well aware of who his true father was, telling Cam that he was nothing but evil - even his middle name Samael means "the chief seducer and destroyer, the prince of hell". Michael regularly beat Cam into believing that not only was he evil down to the core of his DNA but his sexuality was too, he attempted to beat Cameron into "being straight". This abuse continued until during one of Sebastian's impulsive moments, Sarah and Michael were killed in front of Cam.
