The District 8 male was killed in the initial Cornucopia bloodbath. Like most of the tributes, he ran for supplies. He confronts Marvel, who slits his throat and repeatedly stabs him to death with a kurki knife, effectively killing him.

Mutation

After his death, the male tribute from District 8, like all the other fallen tributes, had his DNA mixed with a wolf to form a muttation which had similar characteristics to the fallen tribute. It is unknown if his mutt survived the fight.

  • On the scoreboard behind Caesar and Claudius, it can be seen that he lived for 9 seconds into the games, placing 24th out of 24.
  • He was the 1st dead, but, when his district partner was killed, on the scoreboard behind Caesar it can be seen that he was the 9th dead.
  • He was tied to highest odds with Cato.
