Camillo
A nobleman of Sicilia and the husband of Paulina. He is caught between his loyalty to his wife, who tries to persuade Leontes that Hermione is innocent, and his loyalty to his king Leontes, who chides him for allowing his wife to dominate him. Leontes orders Antigonus to take the infant Perdita away and abandon her somewhere deserted. After seeing a vision of Hermione in a dream, he takes Perdita to Bohemia and leaves her alone in the wilderness (where she is later discovered by the shepherd). After doing this, he is suddenly chased after and killed by a bear, with absolutely no warning.

Act 2, Scene 3
Quotes
Mark and perform it, see'st thou! for the fail
Of any point in't shall not only be
Death to thyself but to thy lewd-tongued wife,
Whom for this time we pardon. We enjoin thee,
As thou art liege-man to us, that thou carry
This female bastard hence and that thou bear it
To some remote and desert place quite out
Of our dominions, and that there thou leave it,
Without more mercy, to its own protection
And favour of the climate. As by strange fortune
It came to us, I do in justice charge thee
On thy soul's peril and thy body's torture
That thou commend it strangely to some place
Where chance may nurse or end it. Take it up.

Act 5, Scene 3
Quotes
Go together,
You precious winners all; your exultation
Partake to every one. I, an old turtle,
Will wing me to some wither'd bough and there
My mate, that's never to be found again,
Lament till I am lost.
