===Early Life and Career===

{{s-start}}
Oldest son of [[Deborah Cameron]], Joseph Cameron joined the Hegemony Armed Forces and became a combat officer in its Marine Corps. However, his career was cut short due to a training accident, which claimed his right eye.  He was then transferred from field service to desk job.  There, while working for the Hegemony's Department of Foreign Relations, he became known as an accomplished negotiator. He openly supported his mother's new Strategy of Aggressive Peacemaking initiative she implemented in 2540.<ref name=TSLp33/>

===Director-General of the Terran Hegemony and his Assassination===

[[Category:House Cameron Characters|Cameron, Joseph]]
In [[2542]], when his mother retired as Director-General, she designated him as her successor.  After ascending to the throne, he announced he would maintain his mother's Aggressive Peacemaking policies. However, unknown to him, some within the military became dissatisfied with the old Director-General's Peacekeeping policy, which favored diplomats over the military.  This collective dislike policy became organized into a cabal, plotted against Joseph.  The overtaxed Hegemony Central Intelligence Bureau failed to alert Joseph on what would bring the Hegemony into crisis.

A member of the cabal was administrative clerk of the Hegemony's Marine Corps by the name of Captain Henry Green.  The captain took matters into his own hands, being tired of Cabal's lack of action.  In September 19th, [[2549]], he entered the grounds of Joseph's Palace on Terra, and patiently wait 27 hours for his opportunity to vent his frustrations.
 
 
 
From a tree in the Palace's grounds, he took aim and fired his laser rifle as Joseph left his Limo.  Joseph had taken his laser resistant jacket off just moments before when Green's second shot hit him.  Six days after the assassination attempt, Joseph died from his wounds.<ref name=TSLp33/>
