Axel Turner is the main antagonist in Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam.
Overview
Axel is the director of Camp Star, Camp Rock's glitzier arch-rival camp. It turns out that he and Director Brown used to be bandmates, but one day, Brown removed Axel from the band, Axel then went on to become a successful record producer and had a daughter Dana. Axel founded Camp Star to compete with Brown, explaining their rivalry. He has the Camp Star performers send parachutes to the campers at Camp Rock as a way of inviting them to participate at a "bonfire". After the Camp Rockers arrive at Camp Star, the two camps perform. Axel offers the Camp Rock counselors jobs at Camp Star and promises to double their salary, prompting many counselors (and a few campers, namely Tess) to switch over to Camp Star, much to Brown's upset. Unbeknownst to Axel, however, his daughter, Dana strikes up a relationship with Nate Grey.
The next day, Axel spies the two camps musically waging war and proposes a televised competition. Unsurprisingly, Mitchie agrees to the idea. Later that night, he catches Dana singing with Nate. On the day of the competition, Brown discovers that Axel has been rigging the competition by persuading the public to vote for Camp Star via text-messaging. Despite his displeasure Dana chooses to continue seeing Nate (though the smile he gives after suggests some genuine happiness for her). The two camps give an all-out performance, but Camp Star wins, much to Axel's pleasure. He is not seen after that, so what happens to him later is uncertain. but many of Camp Star's campers choose to switch to Camp Rock most likely putting a dent in his business.
