Biography[]
The unidentified man about to be shot and killed.
The unidentified male was present during Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark's Victory Tour. Following Katniss's speech commemorating the district's deceased tributes, Rue and Thresh, he whistled Rue's four-note song. This was a signal for the crowd to give the three-finger salute, which had been used in District 12 after Katniss volunteered for the 74th Hunger Games. Seeing this as a sign of rebellion, the Peacekeepers pulled the man from the crowd, beat him, and shot him in back of the head, much to Katniss's shock and horror.[1]
Physical description[]
He was described as elderly and was dressed in a red shirt and overalls.[1] He had dark brown skin with white, graying hair and a beard.[2]
