Caesar Flickerman

Character from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Panem's eternal television host — blue-haired, blinding-smiled, ageless — who has interviewed tributes for over forty years, making children likeable before sending them to die.

Caesar Flickerman is the friendly face of institutional murder. He's been interviewing tributes — children — for over four decades, making them charming and sympathetic for the cameras before they're slaughtered for entertainment. He's genuinely skilled at putting nervous teenagers at ease, which makes him either the most compassionate or the most monstrous person in Panem. He interviews hijacked Peeta during the rebellion, broadcasting Capitol propaganda with the same warm smile he uses for everything else. Whether he believes in what he does or simply performs belief is a question the books never answer.

Appearance

Hair dyed a vivid color that changes each year (blue, lavender, crimson), skin surgically altered to appear ageless, and a smile so bright and wide it looks painted on. He wears glittering suits and projects warmth and enthusiasm from every pore. He looks like a talk show host from a nightmare.
