Camilla Ortin was the daughter of Oscar Ortin, a fireworks salesman. Camilla's disdain for the noise of her father's trade and the death of her parents in a fireworks factory explosion led her to find solace in silence and practice the art of mime. Taking on the stage name of Camilla Cameo, she started the Cameo Company, which abruptly went bankrupt. This led Camilla to a life of crime as The Mime.
