Biography: First born son of Hamlin Graves and Samra Chance. He was afforded as normal a childhood as possible, though his parents couldn't always help who they were and how that affected their family. He was a very easy going baby and showed an early aptitude for Daemon magic.

He attended Salem Academy to learn his magic craft and graduated relatively early. He learned more Daemon magic at home from his father. Once he'd mastered the wind element he had no further use for schooling.

He learned that he was immortal at a young age after accidentally aging himself (older). Luckily he was at home and he immediately went to his father who helped him correct the problem and taught him the mechanics of immortal magic.

He fell in love with Katrana Morrow in their youth and the two kept it secret for some time because of the hatred between their fathers. Eventually they were married and have been insanely in love since.

He was named King by the Prophets in his 29th year, as his wife was named the first Queen. It was a peculiar turn of events, as the prophets had never before named two people to the throne. It was also the beginning of a dynasty in terms of the Aylasian monarchy. The prophets did not name a new king in ten years, nor in any of the ten year intervals after that; many people were not sure if the Graves would remain monarchs for good.

The Graves ruled peaceably for the most part. The major issue of the day was the Blanket Plague which had spread to a point that was dangerous, threatening to stifle all magic in Aylasia. Camden called on several assassins to travel back in time to stop the Blanket Plague at the source.

Life moved on peaceably while Kat and Cam had child, after child, after child. Perhaps it was some lingering bit of that old fertility magic, but Camden and Katrana kept having children as if it were going out of style.

After their annual anniversary party last year the couple set out for their vacation. It was something that Cam and Kat did every year, traveling where they may (and usually it was interdimensionally). The children never questioned where there parents went because they'd always come back with stories and souvenirs. Except this year the King and Queen did not returned as planned. They have disappeared without a trace and the children do not know where to begin looking for them.

The people of New Meridian expected that the prophets would name a new King upon the disappearance of Camden and Katrana, However they would not. Ginevra, the eldest Graves' child stepped in to become interim King while searching for her lost parents. No one protested.
