74th Hunger Games

Reaping

The District 10 male was one of the few tributes noticed at the reapings by Katniss due to his injured leg.

Tribute Parade

In the film, the boy from 10 was first seen in the Tribute Parade with his district partner, wearing golden cowboy hats, shirts, and pants, representing the cowboys and cowgirls from District 10. Later, when the chariots are parked, he and his partner are seen in the background, behind Katniss and Peeta's chariot, talking to each other.

Training

In the film during training, he was shown practicing with a baton against a trainer, dodging and hitting each other's weapons as Katniss watched, impressed. During training after Peeta throws the medicine ball, he and the District 5 male are seen in the background looking doubtfully at the Career tributes. He is also seen in a brief footage training wrestling with the District 6 male while the District 7 male threw a spear with the help of a trainer.

Interviews

In line, the boy from 10 wears a grey suit for his interview. In the novel, as narrated by Katniss, he was described as being very quiet and shy when he is interviewed by Ceaser Flickerman. In the film, he is seen waiting in line with a bored expression wearing a grey suit with black pants and grey shoes.

Cornucopia Bloodbath

In the novel and film, the District 10 male survived the initial Cornucopia bloodbath. But for unknown reasons, he is seen being killed by Cato.

Like majority of the tributes, he ran to the Cornucopia for supplies. He grabs a yellow sleeping bag, but the District 7 male and the District 6 male charges at him in opposite directions. He quickly pushes the District 7 male back and elbows the District 6 male in the chest. The District 6 female steals the bag from his hands, while Glimmer comes from behind, pulls her hair, and shoves her away from him, causing him to lose his bag. After Glimmer killed the District 6 female, he collided with her and took the bag away from her. Glimmer pinned him to a crate to stab him, but he was too quick for her. Marvel confronted him and tried to slash him with an axe, but he successfully dodged. He is later seen running in the forest holding his bag, while spotted by Katniss, who runs the opposite direction.

Death

The District 10 male managed to survive until the eighth day of the Games, where he was killed early in the morning, most likely from the Careers. He placed 10th out of 24. In the film, his death was mentioned by Rue to Katniss, who had been asleep for the past two days. In the book, however, Katniss and Rue are awakened by the cannon signaling his death on the morning they sabotage the Careers' food supply. In the film, he continued to live until after Glimmer died.

Muttation

In the novel, like all the other fallen tributes, his DNA was mixed with a wolf creating a vicious wolf-like muttation which was part of the pack that attacked the last three tributes at the Cornucopia. It is unknown whether or not his mutt survived the battle.
