Kevin "Maddog" Cameron - English

Kevin "Maddog" Cameron was born in Cambria Hospital. Because his mother Linda Cameron died in childbirth, Maddog's father Jake Cameron had to care for his son. Maddog was raised in the junkyard in Estoni and until he was 10 years old, he didn't even know there was a world outside of the junkyard. For his 10th birthday, however, he was taken by Jake's suppliers.

Jake was illegally dealing in gasoline. He bought gasoline expensively from his foreign suppliers, but sold it even more expensively to Arulco residents. Workers in the mines desperately needed the gasoline, and gasoline was scarce in Arulco. Jake was one of Arulco's most sought-after black market traders. The king of Arulco at the time, Andreas Chivaldori, did not prosecute the illegal trade so strictly; he was a benevolent regent.

The shock was all the greater when the reigning monarch abdicated in favor of his son Enrico. For Jake, a world collapsed, because Enrico said he wanted to pursue black market trade. Jake saw his existence endangered, and Maddog also noticed this in his own body. His father got drunk more and more often and kept hitting Maddog. Jake began in this time also his son again and again with propagandistic slogans to persuade Maddog felt soon only hatred for Enrico and the whole royal family. He only wanted to see everyone dead.

This was also the reason why Maddog was happy when Enrico was arrested a year later as the culprit in the murder of his father. When the king died in an accident, the Camerons were overjoyed. However, they underestimated the new ruler Deidranna. When she came to power, the image of Arulco changed quickly. The customers stayed away, because the workers in the mines had no more money for the expensive gasoline. Jake was on the verge of ruin.

Maddog's father saw no other way out. He sent Maddog to a Miltärakademie. There Maddog was to be trained for a later life, while Jake looked for a new profession. For Maddog, the following years were the worst of his life.

In the academy he was the worst in his class and because of that his comrades were always talking about him. Maddog quickly became an outsider. His instructors gave him the name Maddog during this time because he was always doing some crazy things, like pulling out his hair...

Maddog became an expert in lock picking, as this was the only thing he could do properly. Maddog developed into the perfect house fighter during this time: he could open all doors and was proficient at aiming any kind of shotgun. However, once he was given live ammunition, he went crazy. He killed 2 instructors and 5 comrades with his shotgun in a very short time. He certainly would have done more damage, but he was out of ammunition.

Maddog was admitted to a psychiatric hospital shortly thereafter. However, Maddog managed to escape the same day in a spectacular escape. Just as the guard was about to lock the cell, Maddog ran into the door, causing the guard to fall to the floor unconscious when struck by the massive door. Kevin Cameron grabbed the guard's clothes and equipment and then tried to sneak out of the building with the appropriate keycard in his hand. However, the night guard noticed him. When he asked Maddog who he was, Maddog replied, "I'll rip your guts out with my bare hands!" - However, it remained with the blow in the neck. Maddog took the guard's gun and went to the main gate. There he threatened the guard with the weapon. When the guard triggered the alarm, Maddog shot him in the head. After that he opened the main gate and ran as fast as he could. The next day he flew back to Arulco. On the flight he had met a strange 12-year-old boy who was also a resident of Arulco. His name was Shank. His parents are loaded and live in Balime. Maddog gave him some ideas, like growing cabbage. When they arrived in Meduna, they both went their separate ways again.

Maddog quickly made his way to his father in Estoni. There he saw a picture of horror: the once so tidy junkyard had degenerated into a single pile of garbage. Kevin immediately went to see his father. On the way to the old shack, he saw an old codger who said, "Hi, I'm Skipper and I'm the junkyard guard here..." - When Maddog heard this he beat up Skipper saying, "I'm the only guard here at the junkyard, you rat's ass." - Suddenly Kevin's father appeared, "Are you crazy? Why are you hitting my guard, you idiot?". Maddog retorted, "But Dad, I'm your security guard..." - "Yes you are, but that's no reason to beat up Skipper. I'll fire Skipper tomorrow and then you'll be my guard again, stop no, I'll make you scrap manager! Hahaha..."

Jake had opened a scrap metal business in the meantime. The business was not very good, but it was enough to live. He was even able to pay Maddog small a wage. Skipper stayed with the junkyard as a "freelance" watchman. It remained quiet there for several years. Maddog even saved the money he got from Jake to fulfill his dream: he really wanted a gun. And finally he bought the gun for his 25th birthday. It was a CAWS. Maddog liked the weapon already at the academy, because it had a decent penetrating power.

A year later, Maddog was awakened one night by a dull bang. He grabbed his CAWS and headed out of the house. Another impact could be heard in the distance. Maddog followed the echo until he came to a clearing. There, a hot firefight was underway. Apparently, a few rebels were fighting Deidranna's elite troops. The elite soldiers were vastly superior, as they clearly had better equipment. Maddog watched the carnage for a bit and was just enthralled by it: the screams of the wounded, the noise of the thundering bullets, yet silence again. He could no longer bear to sit idly here on the sidelines. He got up and ran into the middle of the fighting mob. First he shot an elite soldier of Deidranna with his CAWS. He ran through the enemy lines and killed about 10 elite soldiers. But then he was noticed. An enemy gunner shot him in the leg. Maddog fell to the ground and lost consciousness. When he woke up again, a beautiful woman was kneeling in front of him, bending over his leg and bandaging it. When Kevin caught sight of the woman, he said to her, "Well sweetie, how about you and me?" - Just as Maddog was about to lunge at the woman, she pulled out her gun and said, "Is this the thanks I get for my services. You would have died here if we hadn't found you." - She got up and went into the forest. Maddog took it upon himself at that moment to follow this woman anywhere, even to the end of the world. It was not love. Maddog just wanted her badly. However, this plan already failed because Maddog could not walk properly with his leg injury. Besides, he had no choice but to stay in Arulco because he still had to pay back money to his father. In addition, he had to get some new magazines for his CAWS after the mission.
