Escort

Escorts are citizens of the Capitol whose main duty is to accompany ("escort") the tributes of their assigned district to the Capitol and teach them how to behave properly. They have dozens of tasks assigned to them around the time of the annual Hunger Games.

If the escort's tribute is a victor, the escort's job also includes "escorting" the victor on the Victory Tour. After this, the escort may be promoted to a higher ranking district for the next year's games.

The only known escort is Effie Trinket, the District 12 escort. Effie Trinket is a kind and peppy escort who cared for tributes Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark while they dwelled in the Capitol. She would always make announcements to prepare and get ready for the day ahead of them.
