Personality
Plot overview
Organization's Counterattack
Andre Camel initially appeared to be suspicious FBI agent, possibly a Black Organization infiltrator. Jodie called out to him right before the strategy meeting, and after showing her his badge, he told her to hold on while he finished his call to his wife. In reality, he most likely contacting Akai Shuuichi about details for the upcoming plan to return Mizunashi Rena to the Org that involved tricking the rest of the FBI as well.
During the strategy meeting, Camel encouraged the FBI to consider a plan to move Kir quickly and pointed out he was an excellent technical driver and would be up for the mission. After the meeting adjourned, Jodie, who felt a bad vibe from Camel, asked Akai if he had seen Camel before. Akai lied, saying he hadn't, but tried to reassure Jodie by saying he would never forget an enemy face.
The following morning, the Organization launched their counterattack of the hospital. Jodie was tasked with getting rid of the bomb that the Black Organization had mailed James Black in a pot of flowers. Camel, who had deserted his nearby post to inform Jodie of the crowd, volunteered to help, pointing out all the major roads were clogged with traffic because of the incidents the Organization created. Jodie was reluctant, but agreed when Camel claimed to have extensive knowledge of the area.
Jodie took the wheel at first, but Camel stole her driving spot after he tricked Jodie into looking for the source of a non-existent ticking sound in the trunk. Camel then remarks that he will drive off without her, because he wants to take a shortcut that only a skilled driver like him could manage in the time before the bomb detonates. To Jodie's dismay, Camel's shortcut turns out to be sidewalks and the wrong the side of the road. He manages to make it to a bridge in time, and telling Jodie to grab the wheel, heaves the bomb into a river where it detonates harmlessly. Jodie calls James to report the success, and Camel smiles at Jodie's praise of his skill.
Camel returns with Jodie and they and the rest of the FBI continue collecting bombs that the Organization had "gifted" to patients. The Black Organization, in order to lure the FBI agents with the bombs to Mizunashi Rena's room, hack TV signals in the hospital and broadcast an edited clip of Mizunashi Rena in a hospital gown saying she has recovered from her illness. Jodie rushes towards Mizunashi's room, and on the way sees Camel. camel says that newcomers aren't told where her room is, and he asks if he should come along. Jodie tells him to keep collecting bombs.
Moving Rena
Now that the FBI think the Black Organization has discovered the location of Mizunashi Rena, they hold an emergency meeting to decide on the logistics of fooling the Organization with the three vans. Camel volunteers to drive the van with Mizunashi Rena and Jodie agrees because of his driving skill while disposing of the bomb earlier. Akai warns him not to be scared, "The fear of death is worst than death itself." Camel comments that he has no family to mourn if should he fail, which immediately raises Jodie's suspicions as Camel told her he was calling his wife earlier. Jodie starts to confront him then and there, but changes her mind. As Camel prepares to climb into the van, Jodie confronts him and asks him to change out with her. She snatches the keys from him, but he knocks her out with a fist to the gut and leaves her propped up against the wall.
Death of Akai
Akai had contacted him secretly, needing someone to volunteer to drive Kir in one of the three vans, pretend to crash, and then escape the detonating van to trick the Black Organization and the FBI into thinking Kir was successfully recaptured. But it was later revealed that he was working with Akai and helped them (with Conan) to transfer Mizunashi Rena back to the Black Organization without them suspecting anything.
He also got involved in a murder case in New Beika Hotel wherein he became one of the suspects. The police got suspicious of him because he was running down the stairs and was sweating. Jodie helped him get away from it, by pretending they were lovers and he got worried to Jodie so he went to visit her. It was later revealed that two years ago, when Akai was still a member of the Black Organization, he was the FBI agent that caused to fail the mission on capturing an executive member of the BO. So when, Akai asked if anyone was up for the plan (on Mizunashi Rena's transfer), he volunteered himself even though he was warned that it would cost his life. He felt guilty about the death of Akai's girlfriend, Akemi Miyano.
