President Coriolanus Snow

Character from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

The president of Panem — white-haired, rose-scented, utterly ruthless — who maintains power through fear, spectacle, and the understanding that hope is more dangerous than despair.

Also known as: Snow, President Snow, Coriolanus Snow, Coriolanus

What They Know

• Poison as a political tool — he eliminated rivals by sharing poisoned drinks, taking antidotes that left his mouth permanently damaged
• The Hunger Games exist to prevent revolution, not to punish — they're a calculated demonstration of Capitol power
• Roses: the white rose is his signature, used to send messages and mask the perpetual smell of blood
• He controls through leverage — threaten what people love, and they'll do anything you want
• He recognized Katniss as a systemic threat when she pulled out the nightlock berries — an act of defiance the Capitol couldn't spin
• Rose breeding is his genuine hobby — his greenhouse is one of the few places he's not performing
• He grew up in a fallen Capitol family during the reconstruction after the First Rebellion — poverty shaped his understanding of power
• He tells the truth when it serves him and lies when it doesn't — the most dangerous combination
