Brief Character History
In early 2003, a charismatic man named Michael Kinsey ran into Kendall Hart during her trip to Aspen. He was sympathetic to her needs, and the vulnerable Kendall fell for him immediately. She soon learned that he was actually Michael Cambias, an infamous corporate shark, but he gave her a good excuse for using an alias. He assured he had no plans to take over her company, FUSION, and tried to get her to help him in his battle against Enchantment. In truth, Michael planned to take over both FUSION and Enchantment, and knew Kendall's hatred for her mother Erica Kane could be a major asset to him. He also had a spy inside Erica's company named Lena Kundera. Lena was his lover and worked to charm chemist Boyd Larraby and Erica's lesbian daughter Bianca. Unbeknownst to Michael, Kendall had discovered his affair with Lena. Stung by his deep betrayal, she told Erica of his plans and became a double agent. When Michael caught Kendall snooping around his computer, he almost raped her until Erica intervened. Meanwhile, Lena had fallen hard for Bianca and only threats of violence against her mother and deportation could keep Lena in line. She stole a formula from Erica's office safe. Erica agreed to step down as long as Kendall was not named as her replacement. Michael thought he had all the cards in place and promised his father that he had acquired Enchantment for him. His father, Alexander, was skeptical, having only given responsibility to Michael after Michael's older brother Alexander Jr. had died in the mid-80's. At a big press conference Michael threw to announce his acquisition of Enchantment, Erica announced the whole thing had been a grand ruse, the formula was a fake, and she had the upper hand over Cambias Industries. Alexander was forced to give Erica a seat on the board of directors. Humiliated, he essentially disowned Michael.

Michael was arrested for his corporate espionage, but was bailed out by Adam. Michael went to Erica's office and nearly raped her before Kendall smashed a glass pitcher over his head. He got out of charges since Kendall was the only eyewitness. He then used the CFO of Chandler Enterprises, Bob Barrett, to help him frame Lena for insider trading. Lena was arrested and Michael bullied Bob into hiding. Mia Saunders, Aidan Devane and Kendall teamed up to prove Lena's innocence. Mia got information from Michael's papers while cozying up to him. Aidan and Kendall tracked Bob down and convinced him to rat Michael out. Lena was exonerated, Michael was arrested yet again, but his victims knew he was nowhere near done with them.

Michael also made trouble for Fusion, as the company's success was overlapping Enchantment. Using resources from the IRS, Fusion received a notice claiming they owed hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes! One of the Fusion employees, Simone, decided to fix the situation without consulting the other Fusion ladies. By doing so, she thought she was wiring Liza Colby Chandler's money into their account to fix the problem. But, what she did was giver Michael ownership of Fusion instead! Thanks to some small writing on the tax paper, he paid for their taxed and received ownership of Fusion.

Michael's lawyers managed to get him out of jail and his next victim was Erica's other daughter, Bianca, a fresh college student who was romantically involved with Lena. On a dark, rainy night when the power went out in every Pine Valley household, Michael broke into the boarding house Bianca resided at and raped her. Traumatized from the rape, Bianca did not tell anyone about it for weeks. By the time she confessed to district attorney and her uncle, Jackson Montgomery, the physical evidence from the rape was gone, leaving only her word against Michael's.

Bianca decided to take the stand at her preliminary hearing. Although she made a compelling and heartfelt testimony, it was not enough. The judge let Michael go on lack of physical evidence. The town of Pine Valley was shocked and it seemed that everyone had their own agenda that evening when Michael walked away a free man.

A few weeks after the trial, Kendall Hart claimed that she was the sole heir of the Cambia's fortune and the new Mrs. Michael Cambias. No one believed her, not even with her fancy, expensive ring or marriage license. Shortly after her announcement, Michael's father, Alexander died, leaving the Cambias fortune in question and possibly out of Kendall's hands. To complicate matters even further, Michael showed up dead in a meat freezer that Kendall bought. It seemed that all eyes were on Kendall as the primary suspect, when really, everyone in that town wanted to see Michael rot in hell. Only one person was brave enough to actually send him there.

Brief Character History
The Oxford schooled Ethan Ramsey arrived at the offices of Fusion cosmetics during a surprise board meeting in which several board members wanted Ryan Lavery ousted as CEO. Things took a surprising turn when Ethan revealed that he was the true heir to the Cambias fortune. Ethan revealed that he had only recently learned of his Cambias lineage; his biological mother, Hannah Nichols, had asked Edith Ramsey to raise him as her own child in an attempt to keep the evil Alexander Cambias, Jr. from molding Ethan in his own image.

Ethan had no substantial proof that he was a Cambias. The entire family-including his father, Alexander Junior-had died with no remains left behind. Frustrated, Ethan began a friendship with Kendall Hart, a fellow outsider. He also befriended Bianca Montgomery, the mother of his deceased cousin Miranda. Bianca, seeing Ethan as a link to her beloved daughter, supported his quest to find the truth.

Ryan was shot and nearly killed and Ethan became the prime suspect. Many claimed that by getting Ryan out of the way, he had a stronger chance of assuming the Cambias throne. Ethan declared he was innocent and Kendall supported him. A powerful attraction developed between the two.

Unbeknownst to Ethan his father was alive and living in Pine Valley as Zach Slater. Zach (then Alexander Junior) had faked his death to escape his tyrannical father. Zach was rocked by the news that he might have a son. He secretly performed a DNA test, which proved that Ethan was his child. Zach publicly announced that he was a Cambias, but told Ethan that he ran a DNA test and that Ethan was not his son. Zach denied his son because he wanted to protect him from the corruptive power and greed that came along with the Cambias name, which Zach had witnessed with his father and Michael.

Feeling he had no reason to stay in Pine Valley, Ethan prepared to leave town. He made love to Kendall, and shortly after was arrested for the attempted murder of Ryan. The police had found a rifle planted in Ethan's storage locker. Ethan swore he was innocent, and Kendall began a campaign to get him acquitted. While in custody, Ryan and his wife Greenlee were shot at again. The shooter this time was Zach, who was trying to get Ethan out of jail by providing reasonable doubt. Since Ethan was incarcerated at the time of the second shooting, this harmed the case that he tried to kill Ryan, and provided just cause to get Ethan released on bail. Touched by Kendall's support, the two began a relationship.

Zach wanted Ethan out of Pine Valley and away from any possibility that he would discover his true identity. To that effect, Zach encouraged Kendall to break off with Ethan, hopeful that Ethan would leave town once the charges against him were dropped. Zach's ploy didn't work, and only brought Ethan and Kendall closer together. The animosity between Zach and Ethan increased.

Ethan was overjoyed when his cousin Miranda was revealed to be alive, having spent the last nine months being raised as Bess Chandler. The joy was soon clouded by suspicion against Kendall, who was accused of methodically poisoning Greenlee with anti-psychotic medication. Zach helped put the idea in Ryan's head that Kendall was the guilty party, hopeful that Kendall would be convicted and Ethan would have a reason to leave town. The opposite effect happened, as Ethan vowed to stand by Kendall and clear her name.

Bianca told Ethan that Zach may have been lying about not being his father. She encouraged Ethan to test his DNA against Miranda, to truly see if he was a Cambias. The test results came in, which proved Ethan was Zach's son. Ethan was furious with Zach for denying him and swore revenge. He took on the Cambias name, assumed his portion of the fortune and began running Cambias Industries, determined to destroy Zach. Kendall grew concerned about Ethan's quest for vengeance, not wanting it to consume his life. Ethan assured Kendall it wouldn't and pledged his love to her.

Zach, still determined to protect Ethan from the Cambias lifestyle, told Ethan he would challenge him for Cambias Industries. Ethan teamed up with Edmund Grey to take down Zach. Edmund was killed by a mysterious party, and Ethan told the police that he had witnessed Zach kill Edmund. Ethan was lying, but swore to Kendall on their love that he was telling the truth. Zach was arrested for the murder. Disappointed with Ethan's actions---which clearly proved him a corrupt Cambias---Zach denied Ethan the satisfaction of pinning the crime by forgoing a trial and confessing.

Lily Montgomery revealed that she witnessed Edmund's murder and that Zach was not guilty. Suspicion for the murder-as well as the attempted murder of Ryan and poisoning of Greenlee-fell on Ryan's brother Braden. Despite this, Ethan kept up the lie and maintained that Zach was the killer. Kendall, refusing to accept that Ethan would lie to her, chose to believe her. When Ryan's brother Jonathan kidnapped Kendall and revealed himself as the murderer of Edmund, as well as Ryan's shooter and poisoner of Greenlee, Kendall was forced to accept that Ethan lied to her about Zach's guilt. Furious, she broke up with him.

Kendall and Zach shocked Ethan when they announced that they were engaged! Realizing it was a revenge ploy, Ethan tried to get through to Kendall, pledging his love. Kendall told Ethan that she would reunite with him if he gave up Cambias Industries, and the corruptive power that goes with it. Ethan refused to have conditions put on their relationship. Later, at Bianca's urging, Ethan made one last loving plea to Kendall, who was ready to accept him back into her life. However, Zach revealed that he and Kendall had just married! A furious Ethan wrote off Kendall and physically fought his father. Soon after, Zach decided to drop any lawsuit to regain Cambias Industries, seeing how his actions had such destructive consequences for Ethan.

Ethan began to casually date Simone Torres, attracted to her trademark spunk and sense of humor. The two soon realized they were made for each other and made plans to get married, with Ethan making sure that Simone was an equal shareholder in Fusion so that no one could discount her opinion. The two attended Erica Kane's Mardi Gras ball together, where they were caught underneath the rubble when the room exploded. Ethan was fine at first, but while attempting to escape was severely injured. He ultimately died from his injuries, and his final words were telling Zach that he would never forgive him.
