Back Story
Cammeo and her twin, Herita, were born in London in 1844. They were special. Vampires noticed them. They sensed the twins’ supernatural strength and saw them as a threat. Cammeo and Herita's parents reluctantly gave their daughters to the Committee to ensure their safety. The Committee is an organization that guides the supernaturally gifted. The twins became Seekers,
a secret force of enhanced agents specializing in terminating evil vampires.
Cammeo and Herita became wards of the Websters, who were part of the Committee. They protected the twins as they completed their training, and provided them with alter identities. By day the girls were the companions of Mirabell, their daughter. At night they hunted vampires. All was fine until Herita fell in love with Edward. One night, Edward followed them on a hunt, fell victim to a vampire and was turned. Herita, in her grief, let the vampire turn her too.
Seekers
Cammeo, the eldest twin, acted as the leader. She was the stronger and better strategist, always planning the hunts. She was also a musical prodigy, able to read music and play by ear at the age of four. Mirabel was happy to sit and listen. Herita was gifted in other ways. She loved to cook and bake. This led her to the art of making potions.
When Herita became a vampire, Cammeo's world fell apart. She didn't want to terminate her only sister, but the vampire blood made Herita mad. She became obsessed with her twin and the Websters . She desperately wanted to bring Cammeo over. Cammeo refused and warned her to leave the family alone.
Cammeo told the Websters they needed to leave England, for their safety. They went to the new world and unbeknownst to them Herita followed them.
The Websters settled in Ohio. Mirabel fell ill. Cammeo recognized her symptoms and knew what to do. It didn't take long for her to catch Edward in the nursery, feeding off the child. Cammeo threw him into the fireplace, ending him. Herita was furious! She confronted Cammeo and the two fought. Sunrise was approaching forcing Herita to flee. Cammeo, armed with kerosene, followed her to her crypt. She trapped Herita inside her casket and set it on fire. Herita the vampire was no more.
When Cammeo returned home, she found that Mirabell
had died. She was grief stricken and wanted no more from life. The Committee granted her a magically induced sleep. She welcomed the nothingness. Cammeo slept for a century until something woke her.
Love
Cammeo had never known love before. Mez made her aware of feelings she didn't know she had. Being new to this century, she was afraid of all its modern technology. Mez acted as her mentor and protector while she helped him appreciate music. He slowly courted her and soon they were enjoying all the new experiences of first love together.
An Empath
Daprima, using her empathic powers, had been trying to locate her siblings and found Cammeo instead. Cammeo gained a sense of consciousness and helped locate Mez and Grace, sending their locations to Daprima in dreams. Cammeo became curious about them all and became whole again. When she fully awakened, she gazed into the clear blue eyes of Mez.
A Nanny
Everything was going great until Cammeo became nanny to Lithium, Racolo and Es's baby. Since Es was a vampire, Cammeo felt she was a danger to the baby and the Seeker in her needed to protect him. She took her job very seriously and began to take Mez for granted. He got frustrated with the situation and one night, he turned to Es.
Es didn't know about his relationship with Cammeo. They ended up spending the night together. Cammeo caught them and fell to pieces. Mez was beside himself with guilt. Es, who felt awful about the whole thing,
did all she could to get them back together. They were apart for a long time before finding each other again.
vampires fell into her hands. She found the potion, First Blood. She thought she could use it to get Karanthir to do her bidding. However, the information in the book was for humans who had been turned, not elves. Herita brewed her potion and had Karanthir, an elf, drink it. It made him ill. She couldn’t understand what went wrong . Never one to give up, she moved on to Esmodonti, a full vampire.
She’s Back
When Cammeo was first touched by Daprima’s mind, no one knew Herita’s essence was affected. Twins, so closely connected with their supernatural abilities, meant what- ever magically happened to one happened to the other. As Cammeo grew stronger so did Herita, who wanted revenge for Edward’s death. Eventually, she manifested into a spirit. She planned to haunt Cammeo. Her plans were ruined by an innocent wish made by Grace, granted by Io. Herita found herself trapped in the body of a human girl. She didn’t like it and came up with a way to become a vampire again. She got herself invited into the Crew’s home by Karanthir, a half vampire. She wanted to trick him into bringing her over. She came up with a plan when a book on
A Guardian
The Committee knew of the twins' history and suspected Herita was not well. They also knew they had failed Herita all those years ago. They sent Lu to watch over the sisters. It was Lu who escorted Herita back to the Committee to get her the help she needed . When Lu returned, she became Cammeo’s legal guardian.
the Violin
Cammeo's music’s so important to her that when she first became whole she was unable to communicate with words. Instead, she 'spoke' using melodies the recipient would hear in their head. Once Daprima presented Cammeo with an actual violin - she spoke her first words in a century. She continues to play and tutor others.
Although Cammeo’s still a Seeker her supernatural skills are dormant. She hopes to remain ‘retired’ from active duty, but is prepared to pick up the stake if needed.
Charlotte
- a doll Mez gave to Cammeo. Cammeo adored her - until Wysh magicked the vampire part of Herita into it. It took some time for the Crew to figure this out. Then they got Herita out of the doll. Cammeo had a hard time re-bounding with the doll so she sent it to Trey.
Tahariel
Even though these two are very different - they’ve found common ground. They both understand the supernatural and love dolls When Lu, Tahariel’s aunt, became Cammeo’s legal guardian - they welcomed her into the family.
Es unknowingly drank the potion. An elf-vampire’s metabolism is slower than a humans. When the First Blood struck Es, much later than Herita anticipated, she attacked the first person she saw - Zyfan. He survived the attack. By now, the Crew knew something was up. Mez found the book Herita stole and confronted her. She went mad. Harmonia’s magic subdued her and the Committee stepped in.
