District 3 male (74th HG)

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

74th Hunger Games
The male tribute from District 3 places 9th out of 24 tributes. In the film, he was given the odds of 22-1.

Training
In the film, the male is seen throughout training. He is first seen working with a trainer to create a fire, and quickly backs away when the fire is ignited. He also shows concern when his district partner is injured in training.

Pre-Arena
In the film, he is receiving his tracker while Katniss tries to orient herself and observe her fellow tributes in the aircraft. Katniss watches as he winces when the needle is shoved abruptly into his arm, before looking at Foxface.

Bloodbath
His district partner, the District 3 female, dies at the Cornucopia. He manages to escape the bloodbath alive. In the movie, the District 3 male is seen fighting with the District 7 female while Thresh is running from the Cornucopia.

Death
It is assumed he joins the Careers when Katniss drops the nest of tracker jackers on them. It is assumed he is also attacked by the swarm and escapes with the Careers, who offered to be his allies if he kept the supplies at the Cornucopia safe. By Day 8, he has booby-trapped the area around the Cornucopia with land mines he has dug up and then re-armed. Foxface is able to avoid the mines and secretly take supplies from their pile. Katniss Everdeen discovers his minefield after observing Foxface.

On Day 8, while the male from District 3, Marvel, Clove, and Cato are hunting for Rue, Katniss blows up their 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 him to stay and keep watch. While keeping watch, District 3 sees Foxface and 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 and in a fit of rage, Cato twists his neck, killing him.

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 tribute. It is unknown whether his mutt survived the fight or not.

Film portrayal
He is portrayed by Ian Nelson in The Hunger Games film.
