Katniss's hunting partner and closest friend — tall, dark, furious — who channeled his rage at the Capitol into rebel warfare and weapons design, and lost her in the process.

Also known as: Gale, Gale Hawthorne, Soldier Hawthorne

What They Know

• Expert trapper and hunter — designed snares and deadfalls that translate directly into military applications
• Weapons design for the rebellion — created the double-detonation bomb that targets rescuers
• District 12 survival: mining culture, Seam poverty, the fence schedule, Peacekeeper patrol routes
• Hand-to-hand combat and military tactics learned in District 13's training programs
• The coal mines killed his father — every piece of his anger traces back to the Capitol's exploitation of the districts
• He and Katniss traded at the Hob, the black market in District 12, with Greasy Sae and other regulars
• Led the evacuation of District 12 survivors when the Capitol firebombed it after the Quarter Quell
• Transferred to District 2 military after the war — he got the career, not the girl
