Biography
Meeting Phil Coulson
- "You used to have 100 men at your disposal, and now...?"
"A hand-picked team. And yes, they're that good." - ―Camilla Reyes and Phil Coulson[src]
Camilla Reyes joined the Peruvian Armed Forces and eventually became an officer of the Policia Militar de Perú. In 2002, she worked alongside and befriended Phil Coulson, a high-ranking agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. stationed in Cusco, Peru, with 100 men at his disposal.[1]
The Peruvian 0-8-4
Comandante Camilla Reyes
Several years after first meeting Phil Coulson, Reyes ran into Coulson again while working to secure an object of unknown origin that was discovered in Llactapata, Peru. Despite an initial skirmish, Reyes and Coulson were able to discuss the situation with the object concerning the Peruvian government's interests and the local rebels, while also fondly catching up on each other's recent lives. When a group of rebels attacked the archaeological site, both Coulson's Team and Reyes' soldiers were able to escape to the Bus which began a route for a nearby S.H.I.E.L.D. base.
Hijacking and Retaking of the Bus
- "We were allies. We had history. When did you decide to throw that away?"
"As soon as I saw your team." - ―Phil Coulson and Camilla Reyes[src]
While onboard the Bus, Reyes had her men follow Phil Coulson's traveling procedures, relinquishing their weapons before relaxing in the passenger area. While Reyes conversed with Coulson in his office, he realized that she was attempting to seduce him, due to her being "more direct than usual", deducing that it was a ruse to distract him while her men took over the Bus. Reyes intended to take over the Bus in the interest of the Peruvian government in order to secure the 0-8-4 from S.H.I.E.L.D. due to a difference of interests and Peru's claim to the object as well as Reyes' interest in ruling Peru with it.
While she was initially able to take control of the Bus, Reyes and her men were eventually defeated by Coulson and his team, who retook control. She was remanded to S.H.I.E.L.D. custody, but Coulson expressed his confidence that she would soon be released back to the Peruvian government.[1]
