This is actually pretty recent lore.
Camilo was a student of Mudd during my Freshman year.
Camilo was extremely active physically. For example, he had trained under pretty much every martial art out there, and had a love for Chinese Kung Fu. All of the styles of Kung Fu. He was also incredibly buff and would climb trees for fun. Here are a few little stories about him.
Camilo one night was writing his Hum paper, and decided to try and complete it in a tree. So, he climbed up onto a tree branch with his laptop and worked on through the night. He woke up the next morning, still in the tree. However, he had company. A squirrel was sitting on the branch next to him and eying him peculiarly.
There is a special rule in ITR Games called the Camilo Rule. There is a certain mode of the game that consists of a necromancer and zombies. Of interesting note is the the zombies can kill people they touch, except other dead people and the necromancer. Camilo was the necromancer. He promptly found himself a zombie, picked the person up, and commenced running through the hallways using the zombie as a weapon. So, now we have a rule that you cannot pick up zombies as the necromancer unless the person consents and the person getting hit by the zombie consents. No major harm done, just lots of people trying to figure out why Camilo was running around carrying someone under his arm and touching the remaining survivors with it to kill them. More of a balance issue.
Camilo loved weaponry. He in fact was in the process of completing his full suit of armor. It was bits and pieces that he liked from different groups, such as Germany or the Ottoman Empire. He used this armor for a special mock battle event one weekend where people gather and setup huge battle scenarios. He also was bringing Kyle Marsh along this time. However, Kyle had never done this kind of thing before, so asked if they could suit up and practice. So, Kyle is suited up in armor and waiting in the courtyard for Camilo. Someone came by, did a double take, then rushed into their room and sent an email saying "Armed Combat in the quad in five minutes." As Camilo exited his room in full armor, the dorm speakers commenced to blare fight music. On the list, Mortal Kombat, Ultimate Showdown, and others. It was quite the epic night.
Camilo decided we didn't have enough swords around. So, he commenced to teach people how to build a sword out of PVC pipe, pipe insulation, and duct/electrical tape. He also then gave lessons on how to use them in classic German broadsword style. There were many mock battles in the quad. So, people jokingly commented about the training of the East Army. There was also training in martial arts. Good times.
Unfortunately, Camilo is no longer around. He somehow epically failed nearly all his freshman year classes. Most attribute it to the fact that in High School he had never studied except perhaps the night before a test. Unfortunately, that doesn't work at Mudd. So, he took a leave of absence and was considering coming back in another year.
Instead, he's attending college somewhere else and teaching German broadsword for $30/hr.
