The District 5 male was a tribute in the 74th Hunger Games.

74th Hunger Games
During the Tribute Parades, he and Foxface wore shiny and flashy silver costumes that represent District 5's main export, power and electricity. For the interviews with Caeser Flickerman, he wore a pink suit.



Bloodbath
The District 5 male died in the initial bloodbath. The District 5 male was stationed next on the right of the District 4 boy on the pedestals. When the games begin, he is one of the many tributes to run towards the Cornucopia for weapons and supplies. He targeted the District 3 girl because he wanted to take her black packback. He wrapped his arms around the tribute and prevened the District 3 female from fleeing the bloodbath for a while. She managed to get out of his grip but fell onto the floor doing so. The District 5 male then grabbed a sickle off the floor near where Clove was looking through a backpack for knives and when the District 3 girl got halfway up, he used it to slash at her head, killing her. He then took the tribute's black backpack, fleeing into the Cornucopia after seeing Cato see him. The District 5 male attacked the District 7 girl by swinging his black backpack at her. He was nearly killed by the District 7 boy, the District 7 female's district partner, until the tribute forgot about him and confronted Thresh. He crawled away from the battle, leaving his black backpack. The District 6 male and him have a brief fight in which the District 6 male strangles him with his bare hands. The District 5 male manages to gaing the upper hand inside the Cornucopia. He uses both of his hands to grab the District 6 male by the throat and hurls him into crates, injuring him. Glimmer, the District 1 female tibute, attacks him by pinning him onto a crate and immediantly stabs him in the abdomen with a knife (allowing the District 6 male to grab a sword and attempt to kill Glimmer). When the cannons fired and Claudius Templesmith and Caesar Flickerman are shown talking, his portrait shows that before his death, the District 5 male tribute had spent 13 seconds in the Games before he died. At night, his portrait isn't shown but is presumed to have been.

Muttation
After his death, the District 5 male, like all the other dead tributes, had his DNA mixed with a wolf to form a muttation which had similar characteristics to the fallen tribute. It's unknown if his mutt survived the fight.

Film portrayal
In The Hunger Games film, the District 5 male was portrayed by Chris Mark.
