Camael's father, Suheil. was a rogue mercenary who formed a bond-turned-pact with an angel named Zuriel. Neither ever cared to define the relationship outside of emphasizing their closeness (as much as a human and a celestian being can be close, that is). Suheil still had his fun with other physical beings, and Zuriel knew this would only be a fleeting moment as far as their eternal existance was concerned. An issue arose when Zuriel found themselves with child. They knew their family would likely kill both Suheil and the child should they find out, thus they decided to hide the would-be Camael from both their family, and his father. Upon his birth, they locked as much of his divinity away behind a seal as they could and tucked him away into a pocket of the dark planes, a funny little place called Barovia.
