Cassius Heath

Cassius Heath was the first ever victor of “The Hunger Games”, being the male tribute from District 2 and participated in the first Hunger Games.

Hailing from District 2, not much is known about Cassius life before the Hunger Games, however, like the rest of Panem's youths, he partook in the first ever reaping, where he was selected to compete against 23 other teens of a particular age group (12-18).

1st Hunger Games
As the games begun, Cassius showed his prowess with weapons after earning the first ever kill when he stabbed Liliana from District 11 in the gut with a sword. When the other tributes realized this was in fact not a sick prank by the capitol, they either scrambled to the tunnels of the arena or hurried to grab weapons and supplies. Cassius alongside Electra (D3) managed to gain most of the kills this year, with a sword and an axe respectively. After grabbing the items he needed, Cassius made his way the tunnels of the Amphitheater and finished off wayward tributes with his sword. After enough time had passed, Cassius eventually came back out to the center of the arena where he was ambushed by Electra who attacked him with her axe. However, just before the weapon made contact with his skull, a group of Cassius supporters shouted for him to dodge from the nearby bleachers, saving his life. Cassius immediately stabbed Electra to death his his sword after narrowly avoiding death. He then hunted down his last remaining competitor, Loom from District 8, before savagely stabbing her to death, and thus making him the first ever victor of the Hunger Games.

Trivia
The name “Cassius” can mean “Hollow”, possibly a reference to the fact that despite winning the first ever Games, his victory was based on slaughter and horrific actions. His name is also Roman, which is ironic due to how Death Games were used in these times.

His victory directly lead to the games being somewhat changed, as the Capitol could no longer sit at the bleachers due to the fact that they could directly change the events of the games.

His granddaughter Alisia Heath was also a victor in The 89th Hunger Games
