Role: Former Lead Compact Marshal
Affiliation: Compact Marshal Service (formerly); Resistance on Liberty
Species: Human
Status: Active on Liberty during Breaking Liberty
Summary:
Camina Gee was the former lead Compact Marshal under President Baker ibn-Aziz, renowned for her unwavering professionalism and deep commitment to lawful governance. As ibn-Aziz’s chief enforcer and protector, she became one of the few people he fully trusted, tasked with high-level security, sensitive missions, and occasionally mediating between the Marshals and the Compact Navy.
Following ibn-Aziz’s sudden illness and political removal, Gee disappeared from public life. In Breaking Liberty, she is revealed to have become a resistance fighter on the isolated colony world of Liberty, living under the radar for nearly a decade as the Cadre held the planet in its grip. The story never confirms how or why she ended up there, but her survival—and low-key leadership—kept the local resistance viable through long years of oppression.
Role in Breaking Liberty:
Gee’s pivotal moment comes when Ellie Nardino and Tishla arrive on Liberty escorting an amnesiac Baker ibn-Aziz. Though disoriented and disheveled, Gee instantly recognizes him and rallies the local resistance around his presence. Her reassertion of command revitalizes the movement, helping organize a successful uprising that culminates in the retaking of a critical mine.
Relationship with Baker ibn-Aziz:
Camina Gee’s loyalty to ibn-Aziz is unshakable, even after years in exile. While she maintains that her allegiance lies with the Compact, it is clear her true loyalty is to the man she once protected—suggesting she saw the Compact’s ideals embodied more in him than in the institutions that ousted him. Her recognition of him in his vulnerable state reaffirms that loyalty, and she subtly defers to his moral authority even before his memory fully returns.
Offer from Mitsuko Windsor:
After the events of Breaking Liberty, Mitsuko Windsor offers Gee a commission within the Household Guards, impressed by her record and recognizing her value as both a soldier and a symbol of legitimacy. Gee declines the offer, stating that her loyalty remains with the Compact. The subtext, however, is unmistakable: her loyalty is not to the current regime, but to the exiled president she still sees as the Compact’s rightful leader.
