District 3 male (74th HG)

The male tribute from District 3 who participated in the 74th Hunger Games. As he was from District 3, he was skilled in technology, specifically explosives.

74th Hunger Games
In the film, the District 3 tributes wore silver costumes to represent the inner workings of electronic devices.

Training Center
He was first seen in the Training Center working with a trainer to create a fire, and quickly backing away when the fire ignited. He also showed concern when his district partner was injured in training, But laughed reluctantly when Glimmer elbowed him.

Interviews
In the Interviews he wore a yellow suit with a black shirt under it.

Cornucopia bloodbath
In the novel, the District 3 male tribute managed to survive the brutal bloodbath, while his female counterpart died along with several other tributes. It is unknown if he ever killed any remaining tributes, who battled it out for weapons and supplies, though it's probably very unlikely, because of his small size and being a non-Career.

In the film version, his district partner was killed at the Cornucopia, while he managed to escape the bloodbath alive. At some point, he grabbed a small throwing axe that Marvel tried to steal, but the District 3 male didn't let go, which made Marvel slung his heavy backpack at the tribute's face, causing him to fall and to let go. He is later seen fighting the District 7 female over another backpack, while Thresh, the District 11 male tribute, is running out of the Cornicopia. He manages to get a good grip of the backpack and pushes the District 7 female on the ground but she manages to take the backpack from him. She is later seen by Marvel and he stabbed her through the chest with his spear, killing her.

Death
He was seen waiting under the tree that Katniss took refuge with along with the other careers and Peeta. After Katniss dropped the tracker jackers on them, he went to the lake to get rid of the tracker jackers. By Day 8, he had joined the career pack and booby-trapped the area around the Cornucopia with land mines he had dug up and then re-armed. Foxface was able to avoid the mines and secretly took some food from their pile. Katniss Everdeen discovered the minefield after observing Foxface.

While Marvel, Clove, and Cato were hunting for Rue, Katniss blows up the Careers' supplies by shooting an arrow at a bag of fruits, causing them to fall and set off the mines. When the Careers discover this, Cato snaps the District 3 male tribute's neck in a fit of rage, revealing his brutal personality.

In the film, Cato orders the District 3 male to stay and keep watch of their supplies. While keeping watch, he sees Foxface and foolishly leaves to chase her off, giving Katniss the chance to blow up the supplies. When he returns, he sees the blown up supplies. The other Careers return to camp are enraged that their supplies have been destroyed. While Clove and Marvel are staring around for items still of good use, Cato is furious and screams at him. He tries to run away, but Cato takes the Tribute's only weapon, a spear, away from him. He tries to back away, but Cato then catches him in a headlock and snaps his neck, killing him immediately.

Muttation
After his death, the male tribute from District 3, like the 21 other fallen tributes, probably had his DNA mixed with that of a wolf, to form a muttation which had similar characteristics as the deceased tributes. It is unknown if his mutt survived the battle.

Film portrayal
The District 3 male was portrayed by Ian Nelson in The Hunger Games film.
