"The man from District 5, the one Finnick took out with his trident, is the first to appear."

- Katniss Everdeen on the his death.

The District 5 male was a past victor from a previous, unspecified Hunger Games, and was reaped once again to compete in the 75th Hunger Games.

Biography
It is unknown how he won, but like many of the other victors, he became an alcoholic to help deal with the trauma that he experienced, like Chaff and Haymitch Abernathy. During training, the District 5 male vomited all over the sword fighting station. He scored a 7 in his private evaluation session. During the interviews, he wore a black striped suit. He joined hands with the other victors as a sign of strength and rebellion.

The 75th Hunger Games
The District 5 male was the third tribute to make it to the Cornucopia. In the film, when Katniss is running on one of the spokes she looks to the left. When she does, you can see him running on the spoke to her left, proving that he was a fast swimmer to an extent, but he was also the first tribute to be killed, as Finnick Odair impaled him with a trident when he approached Katniss Everdeen from behind with a spear. The District 5 male placed 24th. In the film, he survived for 53 seconds.

Film portrayal
James Logan portrayed the District 5 male in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
