A male tribute from District 3 who participated in the 74th Hunger Games. As he was from District 3, he was skilled in technology, specifically explosives.

74th Hunger Games
In the film, the District 3 tributes wore silver costumes to represent the inner workings of electronic devices.

Training Center
He was first seen in the Training Center working with a trainer to create a fire, and quickly backing away when the fire ignited. He also showed concern when his district partner was injured in training. He had a 22-1 chanch of wining so he possibly scored a 5,6,or7

Interviews

Bloodbath
His district partner was killed at the Cornucopia. He managed to escape the bloodbath alive. At some point, he grabbed a small throwing axe and Marvel tried stealing it, he didn't let go so Marvel slings his backpack at the tribute's face, causing his fall and to let go. Behind the scence he is running and the district 7 boy pinned him to the ground and started punching him, he got away form the 7 boy and crawld away form him. He is later seen fighting with the District 7 female while Thresh is running from the Cornucopia,and he cuts her abdomen,and then pushing her, causing her to fall .Then Marvel was able to spear her. Whilst he is struggling with the District 7 female; we see he has a black backpack, which could be traced back to the District 3 female.

Death
By Day 8, he had joined the careers and booby-trapped the area around the Cornucopia with land mines he had dug up and then re-armed. Foxface was able to avoid the mines and secretly took supplies from their pile. Katniss Everdeen discovered his minefield after observing Foxface.

While Marvel, Clove, and Cato were hunting for Rue, Katniss blows up the Careers' supplies by shooting an arrow at a bag of apples, causing the apples to fall and set off the mines. When the Careers discover this, Cato snaps the District 3 male tribute's neck in a fit of rage.

In the film, Cato orders the District 3 male to stay and keep watch. While keeping watch, he sees Foxface and foolishly leaves to chase her off, giving Katniss the chance to blow up the supplies. When he returns, he sees the blown up supplies. The other Careers return to camp are are enraged that their supplies have been destroyed.. While Clove and Marvel are staring around poking for items still of good use, Cato is furious and screams at him. He tries to run, but Cato takes the Tribute's only weapon, a spear, away from him. Cato then catches him in a headlock and snaps his neck, killing him, and then kicking his body.

In the book, however, the District 3 Male is not left to take watch the supplies. Instead, he is taken on the hunt with the other Careers.

Muttation
After his death, the male tribute from District 3, like the 21 other fallen tributes, had his DNA mixed with that of a wolf, to form a muttation which had similar characteristics as the deceased tributes. It is unknown if his mutt was killed or survived the battle
