Seneca Crane

Seneca Crane was the Head Gamemaker of the 74th Hunger Games, but made the fatal mistake of letting both Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark survive as victors in the Games. Because of this President Snow had him killed in secrecy.

Later in the 75th Hunger Games, when the Gamemakers were evaluating tributes, as Katniss Everdeen's surprising practice round, she hanged a dummy with a noose she made, and painted the words Seneca Crane with red berry juice on its chest and showed it to the gamemakers who were shocked, but gave Katniss a 12.

Plutarch Heavensbee (who eventually took part in a rebellion against the Capitol) took his place as Head Gamemaker in the 75th Annual Hunger Games.

Seneca Crane will be played by Wes Bentley in the film version of The Hunger Games.
