Palladium Barker was the victor of the 46th Hunger Games from District 1. They were related to Panache Barker, one of the two male District 1 tributes in the 50th Hunger Games.[1] Presumably, Palladium is either Panache's cousin or sibling, due to the close proximity in age between them and Panache.
