Titus was a male tribute from District 6 in an unspecified Hunger Games.
The Games
Titus was reaped in a past Hunger Games. While in the arena, he, for some reason, went completely savage and resorted to cannibalism. As soon as he made a kill, he would eat their insides. Although the Hunger Games is a no-rules, free-for-all competition, cannibalism did not go well with the Capitol audience, as the Gamemakers had to censor most of his kills. The Gamemakers had to electrically stun him so that they could clear up the bodies of the tributes he had killed. He was eventually killed in an avalanche, which was thought to have been set up by the Gamemakers, to ensure that the victor was not a lunatic. This set the precedent that cannibalism was not tolerated in the Games and would result in death by a Gamemaker weapon.
