Haymitch Abernathy

Haymitch Abernathy is described as a paunchy, hard-drinking middle-aged man who won the 50th Hunger Games, the Second Quarter Quell, 24 years before the first book. As District 12's only living victor he mentors Katniss and Peeta. Sunrise on the Reaping tells the story of his own Games, where he works with Beetee, Wiress, Mags and Plutarch Heavensbee to sabotage them, and introduces his girlfriend Lenore Dove Baird of the Covey. In the Quarter Quell, Peeta volunteers to take his place in the arena.
