Character from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
A Capitol-born Avox — tongue cut out for rebellion — who spent years as an underground camera operator and used that knowledge to guide the rebel squad through the Capitol's sewer tunnels.
Pollux was made an Avox — a punishment where the Capitol removes the tongue of political dissidents, turning them into silent servants. He was forced to work as an underground camera operator in the Capitol's tunnel and sewer network for five years. That intimate knowledge of the underground becomes invaluable when Squad 451 needs to navigate the tunnels during the Capitol assault. He can't speak, but he can lead them through the dark.
Blond, pale, and silent — his tongue was removed by the Capitol as punishment, leaving him mute. He communicates through gestures, expressions, and his brother Castor's translations. His eyes carry the haunted look of someone who lived underground in the Capitol's tunnel system for years.
Also known as: Pollux
