Description
Caim Camui is a second-year student attending Babyls Demon School as a member of the Abnormal Class, alongside his classmate Iruma Suzuki. He is a demon with an avian appearance, resembling an anthropomorphic owl. He possesses a beak, wing-like hands, a general fluffiness to his head and body, cat-like ears, and two small horns on top of his head.
In terms of personality, Camui is characterized by his obsessive pursuit of female attention and his pronounced perverted nature, which have directly led to his placement in the Abnormal Class. He frequently attempts to gain the affection of his female classmates with bold and often unsuccessful approaches, such as trying to look up Elizabetta's skirt. Despite these traits, he is also hard-working and demonstrates a genuine care for his classmates. His outward behavior is built upon a desire to be popular, a goal he has held since childhood. He firmly believes that acting as a gentleman is the path to achieving this popularity, a lesson he absorbed from the history of his own family. This has led him to cultivate a highly refined and polite manner of speaking, which has even earned him acknowledgment from the formal Asmodeus Alice.
Camui's role in the story is primarily as a supporting member of the Abnormal Class. During the Harvest Festival, he formed a team with Crocell Kerori, where his unique abilities proved invaluable. Under the tutelage of Mr. Hat, he honed his talents not as a summoner, but as a commander, allowing him to interpret for and boost the morale of the magical beasts under Kerori's control. Together, they built a formidable Beast Empire, a strategy that led to his promotion in rank. In the Heart Breaker exam, he was paired with first-year students Pheené Marianne and her secretary Uzu. Later, he was entrusted by Asmodeus to lead and protect a group of junior students. In this event, he showed great determination, using his abilities to command the first-years' familiars to defend against a teacher's attack, ultimately collapsing from the strain but having fulfilled his role as a gentleman protector.
His key relationships are varied. He holds a great deal of respect for Iruma Suzuki but is often enraged by Iruma's seemingly effortless success with girls. He is frequently on the receiving end of violence from Asmodeus Alice, who does not hesitate to beat him up when he becomes annoying, though Asmodeus has acknowledged his gentlemanly manners. He often targets Ix Elizabetta with his affections but is just as often rejected. He also envies Allocer Schneider for having a girlfriend. While Crocell Keroli was initially put off by his behavior, they developed a strong working relationship during the Harvest Festival, with Camui acting as a loyal second-in-command. After protecting Pheené Marianne from an attack, her initial disgust toward him turned into a desire to defend him.
Over the course of the story, Camui undergoes a degree of development. While he retains his perverted nature, his abilities as a leader and strategist come to the forefront, particularly during the Harvest Festival and Heart Breaker exams. His motivations are explored through his family history; the Caim family once rebelled against the Demon King using their power to command beasts, but after facing near-annihilation, they rebranded themselves as loyal and genteel servants of the demon world. Camui internalized this, but his personal driving force is the simple, earnest ambition to be popular with girls, which adds a layer of tragicomedy to his actions.
His most notable ability is his inherited family magic, called Translation or Close Friends. This power allows him to automatically translate and understand the languages of all living creatures, enabling him to communicate with and even command them. This ability is not limited to wild beasts; he can also command the familiars of other demons, a feat that is normally very difficult. This magic's true essence is leadership. Despite his small stature, standing at only 75 centimeters tall, Camui has also displayed inhuman durability, able to withstand a sustained magical assault from a teacher.
