District 9 male (74th HG)

The District 9 male was the male tribute from District 9 who participated in the 74th Hunger Games.

Tribute Parade
In the film, he is seen on the chariots with his district partner in the Tribute Parade wearing silver suits and headpieces. He and his district partner are hardly seen in the chariot scene; as the camera focuses on the District 8 partners, they are both seen waving.

Training
He is seen making a fire and backing away with the District 3 male. In the behind the scenes DVD, the District 9 male can be seen in the line to the left as Peeta runs on the gauntlets.

Cornucopia bloodbath
In the novel, the District 9 male dies in the bloodbath. Shortly after the 74th Hunger Games begin, he fights with Katniss over a small backpack. Clove throws a knife into his back, killing him instantly, and causing him to cough up blood into Katniss' face.In the film he is killed by Cato after Cato puts him in a headlock and smashes his head with a water canteen. He places 24th out of 24, and is presumably the first tribute to die in the Games.

Muttation
After his death, the District 9 male, like all the other dead tributes, had his DNA mixed with a wolf to form a muttation which had similar characteristics to the fallen tribute. His mutt had ashen fur and hazel eyes. It's unknown whether his mutt survived or was killed in battle. His mutt was also identified by Katniss.

Film portrayal
He was portrayed by Imanol Yepez-Frias in the The Hunger Games film.
