Before this, he finished the creation of Golem, using human souls as a fuel to the furyoku of the Golem. Nobody knows what happened to his wife, but she eventually returned to the family and became the spirit that controlled the Golem.

Camel eventually came back as a spirit and possessed his daughter from time to time in order to help her pilot the Golem.

When Golem locates Chocolove McDonell and his former gang, Camel possessed Seyrarm in order to pilot the Golem. While fighting Asakura Yoh, Golem is suddenly caught by Asakura Hao using the Spirit of Fire. It is here that Hao reveals to everyone that Camel is possessing Seyram in order to pilot the Golem. After Hao suggests that Camel reveal the secret behind Golem, Camel lashses out at Hao, frees himself, and even manages to destroy Hao's Over Soul.

When Hao recreates the missing arm, Camel is left stunned after reading Hao's and his Guardian Ghost's numbers and realize it is impossible for him to fight back.

After Hao leaves and the people around him begins talking about who would become the Shaman King, Camel regains his senses and declares that it will be him and Golem that would take the tittle of Shaman King. Camel attacks Yoh and his friends and target them to recharge Golem's furyoku by consuming their souls. After Tao Ren and Usui Horokeu fails to incapacitate the Golem, they flee with the help of Lyserg Diethel and his Archangel Zelel forcing Camel to chase after them, until they stop in an attempt to have Redseb reason with him. Ignoring Redseb, Camel once again have Golem attack them with the Emeth Blast, only to have it redirected by the recently revived Chocolove and his new Over Soul. After Chocolove tries to reason with Camel, the two engage each other in a fight, with Chocolove gaining the upper hand due to his increase in power and new Over Soul.

As he attempts to activate the Golem's self-destruct before his depature, he is stopped by Anna who want to keep the Golem around as a weapon against Hao and forces Camel to stay in order to teach her how to operate it.
