Cameron in Berlin Explained

The newest member of the crew, Cameron is described as an adrenaline seeker and is almost an apprentice when it comes to the world of high-pressure heists.

Mischievous and flirtatious, handy when it comes to vehicular escapes, and owner of a tattoo on her inner thigh that reads “Don’t look at me”, Cameron is often seen playfully toying with Roi, and the two take part in a side mission to steal a valuable artifact from a priest. The mission flops, but the experience does bring the pair closer together.

Cameron is also perceptive and picks up on Damian’s emotional state, leveraging it to become closer to him too, as she gets him to refocus on the job at hand and not his personal life. She also becomes a support for Keila when she opens up about her feelings for Bruce. We eventually get a glimpse into her own complex and troubled past, revealing a failed relationship that took its toll on her mental health. Her destructive behavior became very problematic when she could not deal with her obsessive relationship with the singer in a band, and Roi stepped up to the plate, leading to the pair becoming even closer.
