Katniss: "As I try to avoid looking at his family, I learn that his name was Marvel. How did I never know that? I suppose that before the Games I didn't pay attention and afterwards I didn't want to know."

Portrayed By: Jack Quaid

Appearances: The Hunger Games | The Hunger Games: Catching Fire note 

  • The Brute: He is the tallest of the Careers and the one whose fighting style relies the most on his physical size and strength.
  • Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: In the 74th Hunger Games, he and Glimmer wore avocado green jackets.
  • Dies Differently in Adaptation: Somewhat. In the book Katniss shoots him in the throat and he pulls the arrow out, causing him to choke to death on his own blood. In the film he gets shot in the chest and is killed almost instantly.
  • Hero Killer: Murders Rue, making her the first ally of Katniss to die.
  • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Shot through the chest by Katniss.
  • Javelin Thrower: His spear isn't just for jabbing as Rue fatally finds out when he hurls it at her.
  • Karmic Death: He really should not have killed Rue in front of Katniss.
  • Lean and Mean: The tallest of the Careers, at 6'3.
  • Meaningful Name: A "marvel" is something extraordinary or amazing. Indeed, he's from the top Career District and the Gamemakers gave him a score of 9.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: By killing Rue, he set up a chain reaction of rebellion in District 11 and subsequently the rest of Panem, ultimately causing Snow's regime to topple.
  • Would Hit a Girl/Would Hurt a Child: Responsible for Rue's death.

    Glimmer 

Glimmer

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/glimmer_7516.jpg

Portrayed By: Leven Rambin

Appearances: The Hunger Games

  • Adaptational Badass: In the book, Glimmer was a Faux Action Girl, dying without scoring any kills (at least onscreen, due to being told solely from Katniss's perspective). The film actually shows her killing some of the other tributes during the cornucopia bloodbath and being the one to off the District 8 girl when the careers spot her campfire.
  • Adaptational Modesty: Her interview outfit is changed from a provocative see-through gold gown to a puffy pink dress with a tutu-like skirt.
  • All Girls Want Bad Boys: Seems to have a little thing for Cato in the film.
  • Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Averted dreadfully when she's stung to death by tracker-jackers. After being attacked by swarms of them, she's not a pretty sight... and the movie's depiction of the event is much tamer than the book.
  • Beauty to Beast: Glimmer is very beautiful until she is horribly disfigured by trackerjacker stings.
  • Braids of Action: Depicted with her hair in braids, and she more than lives up to the reputation of Careers as brutal killers.
  • Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: In the 74th Hunger Games, she and Marvel wore avocado green jackets.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: Dies from trackerjacker stings after Katniss cuts down the nest.
  • Dark Action Girl: Kills several tributes in the bloodbath.
  • Death by Disfigurement: Literally and figuratively after the trackerjackers sting her.
  • Due to the Dead: Averted. Katniss, while suffering from the hallucinations brought on by the tracker-jacker stings, has no problem with prying a bow and quiver of arrows from her corpse. Given that Glimmer and Katniss were enemies (and the fact that Katniss only had a few seconds to retrieve the weapons before the hovercraft removed them along with Glimmer's body from the arena), this is justified.
  • Facial Horror: Glimmer's face is a sickening, bloated mess after she is stung by the trackerjackers.
  • The Heart: She is the more traditionally feminine compared to Clove of the two girls in the Careers group. She also poses the least direct threat to Katniss among the Careers.
  • Ms. Fanservice: In-universe, this is her entire gimmick for getting sponsors.
  • Ninja Looting: That bow was meant for Katniss, but it doesn't stop Glimmer from claiming it when she gets there first.
  • Pink Means Feminine: As the girliest of the named female Tributes, it's fitting that her movie interview dress is this shade.
  • Ship Tease: With Cato.

District 2

    Cato 

Cato

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cato_4240.jpg
"I'm coming for you!"

Portrayed By: Alexander Ludwig

Appearances: The Hunger Games

  • Adaptational Badass: Zigzagged; because the book was entirely from Katniss' point of view, we don't see him very much during the Games due to her staying as far away from him as humanly possible most of the time. The movie, on the other hand, makes a point of showing Cato in action during the Cornucopia bloodbath, where he racks up at least two kills. On the other hand, he's no longer implied to have beaten Thresh in the movie.
  • Adaptation Personality Change: Cato's antagonism is a bit more downplayed in the film compared to the book in order to make him more sympathetic.
  • Alas, Poor Villain: Katniss puts him out of his misery instead of letting him die a slow and painful death from the mutts. In the sequels, she realises he was just as much a pawn of the Capitol as everyone else. In the film, Cato realises this himself before he dies.
  • Arch-Enemy: To Katniss in the first book, or at least both he and Katniss seems to consider him as such. Deconstructed towards the end when it turns out he's as much of a pawn to the Capitol as Katniss is.
  • Ax-Crazy: His Hair-Trigger Temper is violently terrifying if you fail him or get in his way or are Katniss.
  • Big Bad: While the overall Big Bad of the series is President Snow, Cato is a bigger enemy to Katniss in this book/film. He is clearly the most formidable of the Careers and acts as the leader of their group. He makes it his priority to ensure Katniss dies and is the final opponent that Katniss must overcome to win the Games.
  • Blood Knight: Enjoys fighting and killing for the sake of it.
  • Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: In the 74th Hunger Games, he and Clove wore Rust Red colored jackets.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: Thankfully, Katniss helps him out of it.
  • Death Seeker: He admits at the end that he knew he was always going to kill or die and he hates himself for it. He begs Katniss to kill him.
  • Disc-One Final Boss: He's Katniss's biggest opponent in the first film, but President Snow is the Big Bad of the series.
  • Eaten Alive: Happens to him thanks to twenty-some Muttations.
  • Evil Is Bigger: Alexander Ludwig, who plays Cato, stands 6'2', compared to Jennifer Lawrence, who is 5'9', and Josh Hutcherson, who is 5'7'.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: He's got a short fuse, and Heaven help whoever is in his way when it goes off, as the District 3 boy found out the hard way.
  • Hard Work Hardly Works: He and the other Careers spend their entire lives training for the Games, only to be beaten by a relative novice from an outlying district.
  • The Heavy: Of the first film. He's far from being the Big Bad or even The Dragon as he too is just another pawn in the games. However, since President Snow and the Gamemakers are distant overseers, he provides the main physical threat as the leader of the Careers.
  • Heel Realization: In the film, Cato realizes before his death that he spent his entire life being bred to be a pawn in the Capitol's scheme and whether he lives or dies, he was just a part of the show.
  • Human Shield/Taking You with Me: He ends up using Peeta as a human shield in case Katniss tries to kill him with the bow. Unlike most examples of the Human Shield trope, where it's done to discourage someone from killing them, the way he is talking to her when doing so implies that he wants her to kill him, or at least doesn't care whether she kills him or not at this point.
  • Mercy Kill: Courtesy of Katniss.
  • Motive Rant: In the film. See Heel Realization.
  • Neck Snap: Does this to the boy from District 3 after Katniss destroys the supplies - said boy had been distracted away from guarding the pile by Rue.
  • Offscreen Moment of Awesome: In the film, when he shows up to attack Katniss and Peeta, he has a noticeable gash on his face that appears to be inflicted by a blade rather than mutts, suggesting that he fought Thresh and lived, which is no mean feat.
  • Pet the Dog: In the film, he's willing to sleep curled up with Glimmer.
  • Proud Warrior Race Guy: Like the other "Career" tributes, he comes across this way to some extent due to his District's practice of training kids for the Games.
  • Ship Tease: With Glimmer in the film, where there's a shot of him and Glimmer curled up together while asleep. On the other hand, his mourning of Clove was cut.
  • Tyke Bomb: Raised from childhood to fight and to kill.
  • Villainous Breakdown: Completely loses it near the end, savagely attacking Katniss and Peeta like a wild animal.
  • Villain Respect: He gives this look to Peeta and Katniss after the chariot entrance.
  • Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Comes across as this in the film, thanks to his Motive Rant.
  • Would Hit a Girl: Never actually does so, but he's perfectly willing to hunt down and kill Katniss himself.
  • You Have Failed Me / You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: He breaks the District 3 boy's neck after the boy's trap backfires horrendously and blows the Careers' stockpile of supplies to kingdom come.

    Clove 

Clove

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/121d29bd8bccc6127d15d97da386ef25.jpg

Portrayed By: Isabelle Fuhrman.

Appearances: The Hunger Games

  • Abusive Parents: According to Word of Saint Paul, Clove's parents pressured her into joining the Hunger Games, leading her to do her best to win the Games so back home she could boast to their faces how she survived without their help.
  • Age Lift: The scoreboard in the film states she is 15, despite the book heavily implying she is 18. This was likely done as her actress was only 14 at the time of filming.
  • Asshole Victim: Her death at Thresh's hands was positively brutal, but it's also really hard to feel an ounce of sympathy for her after she had the audacity to mock a still-grieving Katniss over Rue's death, and then being too cowardly to own up to said mockery when Thresh has her at his mercy.
  • Ax-Crazy: The filmmakers decided to play this up, showing her as unhinged and slightly psychotic, in part to counter how much smaller Fuhrman was to the other characters.
  • Blood Knight: As is the norm for Careers, she glories in the bloodshed and is eager to fight.
  • Bond Villain Stupidity: She manages to get Katniss pinned down and in a state of powerlessness, holding a knife to her throat. Instead of just slitting it and finishing the job right there, Clove decides to partake in some Evil Gloating, even mocking Katniss for failing to save Rue, and only then does she decide to kill her, giving just enough time for Thresh to intervene.
  • Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: In the 74th Hunger Games, she and Cato wore Rust Red colored jackets.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: After she boasts about killing Rue, has her skull cracked open by Thresh when he bashes her repeatedly against the cornucopia.
  • Dark Action Girl: She can hold her own against Katniss and was about to kill her before Thresh arrived.
  • The Dragon: To Cato, as she is the next most dangerous member of the Careers after him.
  • Fragile Speedster: Relatively speaking, she is smallest and fastest of the Careers. She's still just as dangerous as Cato or Marvel, but is practically helpless against Thresh's superior size and strength once he has ahold of her, negating her speed advantage.
  • Karmic Death: She really shouldn't have bragged about Rue's death in the presence of Thresh, and receives one of the most violent deaths in the movie, when he repeatedly smashes her into the outer-hull of the cornucopia..
  • The Napoleon: The shortest of the four Careers and the most vicious, apart from Cato.
  • Proud Warrior Race Girl: Like the other "Career" tributes, she comes across this way to some extent due to her District's practice of training kids for the Games.
  • Psycho Knife Nut: She's very good at handling knives, and is an excellent shot when it comes to throwing them. In the film, she's even shown to even sleep whilst gripping a knife handle. She likes engaging in Evil Gloating, and taunting people about a child's death.
  • Tempting Fate: Bragging about how your team killed the little girl while her Scary Black Man of a partner is nearby isn't the brightest of things to do.
  • Tyke Bomb: As seems to be the norm in "Career Districts". This applies to her even more than the rest, as she's merely 15 while most Careers volunteer at 18 and is noticeably smaller than her compatriots but no less vicious.
  • Villainous Breakdown: She can more than handle herself in a fight, even against the more physically powerful tributes like Katniss, but after the enormous Thresh gets his hands on her, she realizes she stands no chance and immediately goes from smug and sadistic to completely terrified and screaming her lungs out for help...until she dies.

District 5

    Foxface 

"Foxface"

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tribute_d5_female_copy.jpg
"I will always analyze the situation and apply myself."

Portrayed By: Jacqueline "Jackie" Emerson

Appearances: The Hunger Games

  • Animal Motifs: Foxes, of course, because of her fox-like appearance, which includes red hair and her foxy cunning.
  • Anti-Villain: The only thing bad about her is that she's Katniss' opponent (though even then Katniss doesn't bear any hatred toward her), and she doesn't do anything bad in the book or the film.
  • Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: In the 74th Hunger Games, she and her district partner wore plum red jackets.
  • Cunning Like a Fox: Foxface demonstrated her cleverness by figuring out the path into the Careers' supply pyramid and reached the bulk of supplies, takes an unnoticeable amount of food, and then runs back to the safety of the woods.
  • Guile Hero: Considering she manages to last days without getting killed and getting enough food to survive, we consider her as this.
  • Hold the Line: Her strategy.
  • Named by Adaptation: By dubbing, in this case. In the Brazilian and Italian dubbings of the film, Caesar calls her "Fynch/Finch" after he finishes interviewing her, but it's unknown if "Fynch/Finch" is her first or last name.
  • Non-Action Guy: She just couldn't hope to win in a fight against some of the other tributes, which may have been one of her biggest weaknesses.
  • Numerological Motif: Five; she's from District 5, had her height and age given as 5'5'' and 15 respectively in supplemental material, got a training score of 5, and came in 5th in the film (due to Thresh outliving her).
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: Her real name isn't known, so she's just called "Foxface". The film makes a particular point about never showing her name on-screen, and cuts away from her interview with Caesar before he would announce her name (an early version of the screenplay gave her the name "Marissa" from Caesar's dialogue during her interview, but the line was ultimately cut).
  • Thou Shalt Not Kill: She survives quite for a long time without having to kill anyone.
  • Too Clever by Half: Had a resourceful and cunning brain, but no skills for foraging or hunting. She assumed that Peeta knew what berries were poisonous — but Katniss was the great survivalist. Unless, of course, you think she planned her death...
  • Weak, but Skilled: She's never seen in combat or wielding a weapon, even in the training room. Her strategy revolves around avoiding other tributes, sneaking around and stealing from others. It gets her far enough to be amongst the top 5 left, and she died due to an error of judgement with nightlock berries.

    District 5 Male 

District 5 Male

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/d5_male.jpg

Portrayed By: Chris Mark

Appearances: The Hunger Games

  • Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: He and Foxface wear plum red jackets.
  • Cool Sword: He uses it to kill the District 3 female.
  • No Name Given: He isn't given a name.
  • Red Shirt: Another of the Tributes that exists only to fill out the roster and die quickly; the only thing that stands out about him is that, unlike most of the bloodbath fatalities, he managed to take someone with him.
  • Would Hit a Girl: Kills the District 3 female in the Cornucopia bloodbath.

District 11

    Rue 

Rue

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rue_tribute_portrait.jpg

Portrayed By: Amandla Stenberg

Appearances: The Hunger Games

  • Adaptational Badass: In the book, she warns Katniss about the nest, and Katniss, in turn, silently warns her about the strategy to drop the nest. In the film, she makes a "sawing" gesture and Katniss understands immediately.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: In the film, she is the one who tells Katniss to set the trackerjackers on the Careers and Peeta. Keep in mind she is a tiny girl, who's only known for her sweetness.
  • Big Sister Instinct: She's the eldest of six children and fiercely protective of her siblings. She usually gives her food rations to them, and forages in the fields to provide more food for them even though the peacekeepers are far less lenient than in District 12.
  • Black Girl Dies First: While not the first Tribute to die, she is the first ally of Katniss's to die in the series.
  • Bullying a Dragon: Stealing a knife from a Career is quite a gutsy thing to do, even if it's just during training.
  • Combat Pragmatist: She's the one who directs Katniss towards the trackerjacker hive that gets dropped onto the Careers.
  • Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: In the 74th Hunger Games, she and Thresh wore chocolate brown jackets.
  • Decoy Deuteragonist: Offed before the 74th Hunger Games end.
  • Fragile Speedster: Very elusive and good at maneuvering through the trees, but given that she's easily the smallest Tribute and is never seen training for combat, she stands no chance in a straight fight.
  • Go Out with a Smile: Katniss sings to her as she dies, and she smiles at Katniss.
  • Hope Spot: In the film Katniss actually manages to free her from the net and they have a moment of respite... then Marvel appears and throws a spear at both girls.
  • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Marvel spears her in the chest.
  • Kill the Cutie: She's kind, sweet, and lovable, which makes her death all the more heartwrenching.
  • Last Request: She asks Katniss to sing for her. Doubles as a Tear Jerker.
  • Meaningful Name: "Rue" means "regret." Katniss deeply regrets that she couldn't save her.
  • The Medic: At the very least, she knows which leaf can cure a trackerjacker sting.
  • Major Injury Underreaction: She doesn't seem to have any major reaction to literally being fatally stabbed by a spear.
  • Morality Pet: Seems to have been this for Thresh, who is only seen as the one with the silent, deadly power until he kills Clove in a fit of rage for mocking her death, and lets Katniss go for making a burial for Rue.
  • The Power of Trust: She saves Katniss from trackerjacker stings, even though Katniss is technically a formidable opponent. Katniss reveals that she wants to ally with Rue, gives her extra groosling leg, and plots to sabotage the Careers. This leads to an adorable scene where they snuggle in Katniss's sleeping bag.
  • Replacement Goldfish: To Katniss, who can't help but see her little sister Prim in Rue. When Rue is dying, Katniss actually refers to her as Prim in her thoughts, before correcting herself.
  • She Cleans Up Nicely: Her stylist puts her in a cute blue overall outfit with wings, making her look like a fairy, for the chariot races. Then he puts her in a blue ballgown for her interview, and crafts her image of a climber you should not underestimate.
  • Sticky Fingers: Rue is quite light-fingered, as Cato finds out the hard way during training sessions when she takes his knife and she doesn't get caught because Cato points the finger (the pointer, not the middle) at someone else.
  • Token Minority: District 11 has some parallels to the American slave-run plantations. As such, she and Thresh are the only black Tributes in their Games.
  • Too Good for This Sinful Earth: Especially played up in the film where the entire fight with Marvel is silent: Katniss takes him down, and then turns around and notices that Rue has been impaled by a spear.
  • The Worf Effect: Her greatest strength is her speed and climbing. In fact, that's why she and Katniss agreed that she should lure the Careers away by setting off fires because she's better at avoiding them, while Katniss could do the heavy grunt work of sabotaging their food supply. That she got caught shows that the Careers could even trap her.

    Thresh 

Thresh

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thresh_3375.jpeg

Portrayed By: Dayo Okeniyi

Appearances: The Hunger Games

  • Big Brother Instinct: Towards Rue. Unlike in the book, he already is familiar with her based on the smirk he gives when she steals Cato's knife in the training room. Clove found out the hard way that talking smack about Rue when Thresh is within earshot is not a good idea.
  • Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: In the 74th Hunger Games, he and Rue wore chocolate brown jackets.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: He completely pulverizes Clove until she dies.
  • Dies Differently in Adaptation: The film implies he was killed by mutts, while the book implied that Cato defeated him. In either case, his actual death is not shown.
  • Eaten Alive: In the film, he's mauled to death off-screen by the mutts. In the book, he was already dead before the mutts showed up, with Cato being heavily implied as his killer.
  • Knight Templar Big Brother: He seemed to have taken in Rue, the girl from his district, as a sister because when she died, he was infuriated by her death. During the feast, Thresh overheard Clove gloating about Rue's death to Katniss. Thresh grabbed Clove off Katniss, strangled her while holding her one foot off the ground, and furiously yelled at her before killing her in retribution.
  • My Greatest Failure: Given his anger at Clove for gloating about killing Rue, he regrets not protecting her.
  • Not So Stoic: He is seen suppressing a laugh at Rue stealing Cato's knife.
  • Orcus on His Throne: Until Rue dies, then he finally goes on the offensive.
  • Pay Evil unto Evil: Brutally kills Clove after she claimed to have killed Rue (which isn't true).
  • Pet the Dog: Spares Katniss in return for her making a burial for Rue earlier on. He does warn that it's a one-time offer.
  • The Quiet One: Thresh doesn't say much, getting only a couple lines in the entire film - and only in one scene.
  • Sanity Slippage: Clearly losing it when killing Clove.
  • Scary Black Man: In his interview, he was seen as the one with silent, deadly power. He mostly keeps to himself and it's shown in the arena that he will shout when something matters to him and he will kill.
  • Token Minority: District 11 has some parallels to the American slave-run plantations. As such, he and Rue are the only black Tributes in their Games.
  • Unstoppable Rage: Clove bragged about his Morality Pet's death and paid for it.
  • Would Hit a Girl: His only known kill is Clove.

Other Districts

District 3 Tributes

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tribute_d3_male.jpg
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/district_3_female.jpg

Portrayed By: Kalia Prescott & Ian Nelson

  • Butt-Monkey: The female, in the eyes of the Careers, as they laugh at her in a deleted scene. They even get her district partner to laugh at her as well!
  • Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: In the 74th Hunger Games, they wore mustard yellow jackets.
  • Evil Genius: He's not actually evil, but the boy is still recruited by the Careers to set a deathtrap with his Gadgeteer Genius skills, providing a major obstacle for Katniss to overcome.
  • Gadgeteer Genius: The boy managed to re-arm the mines around the starting area to be used as booby traps.
  • Gone Horribly Right: The explosives the boy re-armed and used to guard the campsite and kill other tributes who might try and steal the Careers' supples wind up destroying said supplies, leading to a You Have Failed Me from Cato.
  • Neck Snap: Cato kills the boy this way.
  • No Name Given: Neither of them were named in-story.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Especially the girl.

    District 4 

District 4 Tributes

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/d4_male_1.jpg
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marina_d4.jpg

Portrayed By: Tara Macken & Ethan Jamieson

  • Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: In the 74th Hunger Games, they wore seastorm green jackets.
  • Demoted to Extra: District 4 isn't even mentioned as a Career district in the film, and the girl is simply killed in the Cornucopia instead of joining the Career "pack".
  • Hope Spot: The boy hides in the Cornucopia, out of sight and out of mind from the bloodbath. As the chaos dies down, he starts crawling out, only to look up and see Cato.
  • No Name Given: Neither of them were named in-story.
  • Slashed Throat: The boy's fate in the film, courtesy of Cato.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: They're both killed off, due to being redshirts.
  • Youthful Freckles: The boy has freckles on his face and is one of the youngest tributes next to Rue.

Portrayed By: Leigha Hancock & Sam Ly

  • Braids of Action: The girl has them.
  • Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: In the 74th Hunger Games, they wore russet brown jackets.
  • No Name Given: Neither of them were named in-story.
  • Recurring Extra: The female appears the most of all the unnamed tributes.
  • Tyke Bomb: The female, standing at 4'11 and having rather high odds of winning, at 7-1. She was also one of the more capable tributes in defending herself, attacking and almost killing Glimmer in the bloodbath.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: They're both killed off, due to being redshirts.

    District 8 

District 8 Tributes

Portrayed By: Mackenzie Lintz & Samuel Tan

  • Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: In the 74th Hunger Games, they wore goldenrod yellow jackets.
  • No Name Given: Neither of them were named in-story.
  • Too Dumb to Live: The girl starts a fire, by herself, in the middle of hostile territory. Katniss rolls her eyes when she sees this, and sure enough, the Career Pack finds her shortly afterwards.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: They're both killed off, due to being redshirts.
  • Weak, but Skilled: They have the highest chances of winning of all the unnamed tributes. 5-1 for the female, and 3-1 for the male. They are still killed on the first day of the games.

District 10 Tributes

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/district_10_female.jpg

Portrayed By: Dakota Hood & Jeremy Marinas

  • Abled in the Adaptation: The boy doesn't appear to have a crippled leg like he does in the books, as he is seen running to the Cornucopia at the beginning of the games.
  • Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: In the 74th Hunger Games, they wore grey jackets.
  • Dies Differently in Adaptation: The male apparently suffers the "killed earlier than in the source material" type in the film when he is one of the bloodbath casualties; in the book, he is killed the morning that the supplies are destroyed. Oddly, Rue mentions his death to Katniss after she wakes up, implying that this is simply a continuity error.
  • No Name Given: Neither of them were named in-story.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: They're both killed off, due to being redshirts.
