Talk:Dr. Aurelius

Dr. Aurelius not from District 13 but from the Capitol?
From where is the information that Dr. Aurelius is from District 13 derived? I have searched the books and it seems quite clear to me that he is from the Capitol. Here are my arguments:

1) Firstly, references in the books: I have the ebooks of the trilogy. So I have literally searched them, there is no mention at all that Dr. Aurelius was responsible for Peeta's de-hijacking in District 13 as this article claims. The first mention of Dr. Aurelius in the whole trilogy is chapter 25 of Mockingjay, when Katniss is "In the dazzling white Capitol Hospital". He is introduced in the line: "Finally, Dr. Aurelius, a head doctor, comes up with a theory that I've become a mental, rather than physical Avox." Dr. Aurelius does not take care of Katniss while she is in District 13 as this article states, this all takes place while she is in the capitol following the end of the war.

2) Second to this is his name: All the characters in the Hunger Games have names thematically tying to their character and/or district. Aurelius is a Roman name, referring to the famous Roman Philosopher-Emperor Marcus Aurelius. This is consistent with capital names: Caesar, Plutarch, Cinna, Seneca, etc. are all names referring to historical figures from ancient Rome. Compare this list to District 13 names: Coin, Boggs, Mitchel, Leeg, Jackson, Homes. It is quite clear in which list Dr. Aurelius belongs even if there was no other evidence pointing him towards the Capitol.

3) Thirdly his personality: Aside from his lackadaisical attitude towards taking care of Katniss, which is not exactly 13 behavior, there is one other more telling line about Dr. Aurelius's personality, in chapter 27 of Mockingjay. To give the whole quote:

"Although most of the credit for my exoneration must be given to Dr. Aurelius, who apparently earned his naps by presenting me as a hopeless, shell-shocked lunatic. One condition for my release is that I’ll continue under his care, although it will have to be by phone because he’d never live in a forsaken place like 12, and I’m confined there until further notice."

I think it should be beyond question that Katniss is not calling District 12 a "forsaken place", but that she is repeating Dr. Aurelius's words. Does that really sound like the way a District 13 resident/native would describe their neighbours? It seems much more like the words of someone from the Capitol.

To conclude, I think the evidence in the books themselves rather unanimously points to Dr. Aurelius being a Capitol native. So unless if there's supplementary material that contradicts this, the article here should be changed to reflect this.
