Camilla was the leader of an advanced lost empire located along the ivory coast of Africa. It was founded by her ancestor Radekis Khan, he himself a descendant of Genghis Khan, over 500 years ago. The kingdom was rich in raw materials, such as the rare metal Flexodium, an isotope of Radium unknown to the outside world. Her city made money by stealing ivory from caravans. Her guards were dressed in armor and armed with swords and radio guns, making them resemble robots. In her one and only story, her men captured an explorer named John Stanley. Camilla welcomed hime as her guest and invited him to dine with her in her private salon. Jon asked Camilla about her kingdom and she explained that it could destroy the modern outside world whenever she wished. She invited John to be a general or even her king. He refused and, in a rage, she told her guards to throw him in the dungeon. John escaped, so Camilla had her guards put him into a Flexodium torpedo, but John escaped that as well and sabotaged the controls. Camilla attempted to throw a dagger at him to stop him. The dagger missed, but the vibrations caused by the machines destroyed the city. Luckily, John grabbed Camilla and the two escaped, but she reprimanded him for saving her. She then walked away from John and back into the burning city of her birth. Note that this Camilla is a completely different version than the Camilla that appears in other issues of Jungle Comics.
