Sentrylock trained in an academy on The Isle. Takes contracts through her mentor, including this one to join the Ebon Expedition. She figures anyone willing to risk the Ebon Cascade could use a good 'lock or two.
Camarin was born in the neutral nation of The Isle. Her parents were restaurant owners/chefs, and her childhood was relatively uneventful. Her clearest childhood memories are cooking with her father and pestering the Sentrylock trainees at the nearby "academy". The academy, run by a middle-aged Crystal Priest named Feza, trained young Isleans to become strong enough to tolerate the Sigil tattooing process. Eventually, the academy produces formidable, well-educated, and highly effective Sentrylocks - some of the only ones trained outside of the Druse Academy. Camarin never really asked how Feza gets away with having a training facility separate from Teslan, and she figured the answer wouldn't be forthcoming.
The Sentrylocks paid for their training by working through Feza, who would procure and assign contracts to the protectors. Camarin thought the tattooed sentinels were "just the COOLEST", and to her parents' chagrin, she endeared herself to enough of the trainees that Feza took interest. At the age of 12, Camarin was initiated into the academy, and at the age of 18 she received her first sigil. Now 34, she has been a full-fledged Sentrylock for over a decade and has completed dozens of contracts, some very short and some lasting over a year. Recently, she finished up a contract guarding a merchant caravan and has been relaxing back home, visiting family, when Feza approached her with a new contract. Normally, Camarin stays detached from the contracts and her charges; it's how she was trained, after all. However, this time she's curious despite herself. For one thing, the contract is to guard an expedition into the Ebon Cascade, of all places. For another, Feza claims that her top Sentrylocks all turned down the contract. Camarin could see the desperation in Feza's normally inscrutable face, so she accepted the contract without complaint or question. Truth be told, she's nervous. Maybe even frightened. But a good Sentrylock doesn't let a little thing like fear keep them from protecting people, and that's what Camarin intends to do.

Mentality
Personal history
Merchant parents, loving and fair. Grew up restless, thinking her parents' lives were immensely boring. The nearby Sentrylock academy, run by a mysterious Crystal Priest, was her primary interest as a child. She'd watch the trainees in the yard, practicing their combat moves and Hekan, and try to mimic them. She'd pilfer paint from her parents store and draw crude "tattoos" on herself, then proudly show them off to the young 'locks-in-training, who would mostly stifle their laughter and pretend to seriously inspect the art. Eventually, the Crystal Priest in charge took notice of the young girl painting herself to match her trainees. Feza must have seen a spark of potential in the girl, because she approached her parents with the intention of initiating Camarin into the academy.
Education
Learned basic reading and writing from her parents, but all of her formal education came from her time at the Sentrylock academy. She learned general Tikor history, with an emphasis on Azurean mining and manipulation and the history of Teslan and the Druse Academy. She also learned about Hekan, especially Invocation, as that is what a Sentrylock specializes in.
