Cato

"I wonder now if Cato might not be entirely sane."-Katniss Everdeen

Biography
The hulking, huge boy tribute from District 1 was not one you wanted to mess with. Nasty, mean, and un-relenting, Cato used brute strength for almost everything and fought to win the games- no matter what.

Death
''The raw hunk of meat that used to be my enemy makes a sound, and I know where his mouth is. And I think the word he is trying to say is please. Pity, not vengeance, sends my arrow flying into his skull."''-Katniss

After days of surviving in the Hunger Games, after days of killing and destroying, it was finally Cato's turn to perish.

Description
Strong and muscular, the monstrous boy has no trouble in his mind or soul destroying things. He could choke anyone withing seconds, and his strong arms wield the weapon he uses best- a sword.

Personality
Defiant and almost stupidly brave, Cato was never giving in. Determined to win, he did everything he could to achieve his goal. He didn't care who he killed in the process, whose lives where spent as long as he came out alive.

It does seem as though he was genuinely upset when his partner, Clove, was killed by the District 11 Tribute, Thresh. He shouted her name and it seemed he got even madder when she died.

Being one of the last three living tributes, he could of easily taken out Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. Not only was he strong and unforgiving, but Katniss and Peeta were both worn and tired.

That was when the games took a twist. Wolf-like mutations appeared out of nowhere. Katniss and Peeta eventually where able to make it into the comparative safety of the golden cornucopia, but Cato was helpless on the ground, left to defend himself against 21 unrelenting wolf-like mutations. Worn, beaten, and torn apart by the wolves, yet not able to die because of his body armor, his silent cry for pity was heard by Katniss. She shot her last remaining arrow into the air and into Cato's skull, for the sake of a quick and painless death. Unfortunately for him, he had already suffered to much to be saved.
