Biography[]
S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent[]
Project Insight[]
- "I'm not gonna launch those ships... Captain's orders."
"Move away from your station!" - ―Cameron Klein and Brock Rumlow[src]
Klein's life is threatened by Brock Rumlow
Cameron Klein was in control of the Project Insight launch sequence. However, following Captain America's revelation of HYDRA's infiltration within S.H.I.E.L.D., he refused to launch the Helicarriers. Brock Rumlow fought his way into the control center and threatened to kill Klein when he remained defiant but Sharon Carter defended him by putting a gun to Rumlow's head. A gunfight between S.H.I.E.L.D. and HYDRA agents ensued, and Carter kicked Klein's chair when Rumlow tried to shoot him, thus saving his life. Klein took shelter underneath his desk until the STRIKE team fled.[1]
Aiding the Avengers[]

Klein was later recruited by Nick Fury and Maria Hill along with several other former S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in relaunching the 'mothballed' Helicarrier in a bid to evacuate the citizens of Sokovia before Ultron could enact his plan during the Battle of Sokovia. Upon arrival, Klein launched the Helicarrier's lifeboats to the now levitating city of Novi Grad so that the Avengers and local law enforcement could commence with the evacuation of the city.

Before long the majority of the civilians who had been left on Novi Grad had been evacuated onto the Helicarrier while Klein monitored the progress and reported to Fury and Hill. In an attempt to stall their efforts, an Ultron Sentry crash landed onto the bridge of the Helicarrier where it destroyed the Conference Table and would have attacked and killed Klein if it had not been for the combined efforts of Fury and Hill.[2]
Working with Nick Fury[]
- "Tell Klein we'll meet him at..."
- ―Nick Fury to Maria Hill[src]
Klein remained a confidant for Nick Fury and Maria Hill when they decided to take themselves off the radar.[3] In 2018, Klein was stationed in Atlanta, Georgia and one day, was planning on meeting with Fury and Hill. However, both Fury and Hill were victims of the Snap, and were unable to.[4]
Personality[]
Klein is a very good man, always wanting to do what's right. Klein refused to launch the Helicarriers despite having a gun pointed at his face, knowing that to do so would condemn thousands of innocent lives to unjust murder. Although, he was also awkward and scared as even refusing to launch the ships, he hid under the table while the fight ensued. He was sometimes awkward as he jumbled his words while helping the Avengers in Sokovia.
