Dr. Camille Saroyan, always called Cam, is a pathologist and the Head of the Forensic Division at Jeffersonian Institute. She was born and raised in The Bronx, although she does not have a noticeable New York accent, and was previously a coroner in New York.
In Season 8, while investigating a possible victim of 9/11, she stated that she signed 900 death certificates that day.
During the time frame between the end of Season 1 and beginning of Season 2, she was appointed as Dr. Goodman's replacement. When asked by Booth why she took the job, she said that she wanted a change of scenery.
Dr. Goodman appeared only as an administrator, but Cam is a full member of Booth and Brennan's team, handling bodies with flesh still intact.
She was introduced Season 2, Episode 1, after being hired by Dr. Goodman while Dr. Brennan was on vacation. At first, she and the team have an uneasy working relationship because she is a hands–on manager and insists on being kept informed at all times, but things clear up when she and Brennan talk at the end of "The Boy in the Shroud". Brennan also acknowledges that Cam's interpersonal skills make her an ideal "boss" after she witnesses Cam defend the team's (and Booth's) credibility to an attorney.
Cam had a romantic relationship with Booth when she was still in New York, which was briefly rekindled in season 2 until Booth decided that his "high risk" life put anyone close to him in danger.
In the Season 8 episode "The Bod in the Pod", it is revealed she is in a romantic relationship with lab assistant Arastoo Vaziri. Cam and Arastoo keep their relationship secret from all but Hodgins and Angela until the episode "The Survivor in the Soap" and in "The Pathos in the Pathogen", she openly admits to being in love with him when his life is threatened with an altered strain of virus.
