74th Hunger Games
His overall chances of winning the 74th Hunger Games were 22-1.

Death
Shortly after the 74th Hunger Games began, the District 9 male fought with Katniss Everdeen over a small pack during the Bloodbath at the Cornucopia. While he and Katniss were trying to get the same backpack, Clove killed him with a throwing knife to the back. When this happened, he coughed up blood onto Katniss' face. His death was later confirmed when he appeared in the sky on Day 1. He was the first tribute to die out of the 24.

Also, when they show the fallen at the end of Day 1, he is not shown, and neither is the District 5 male, the District 6 tributes and the District 10 female. He and the District 10 girl are the only ones missed, the others are just not seen.

In the film, the District 9 male was killed in the Cornucopia bloodbath as he is seen being chocked and repeatedly slammed against a supply crate by the District 8 boy. He dies toward the end of the bloodbath, but in the book he was the first to be killed.

Close to the end of the Hunger Games, the Muttation, which was crafted from the boy's DNA and a wolf was released alongside the 21 other fallen Tributes who were sent to annihilate the remaining Tributes the best they could. It is unknown if his Mutt survived the battle or not.

Film portrayal
He is portrayed by Imanol Yepez-Frias in the The Hunger Games.
