The male tribute from District 2 in the 74th Hunger Games, Cato is a Career trained from childhood for the arena, one of the largest competitors that year and the most openly aggressive.

Cato is the male tribute from District 2 in the 74th Hunger Games in The Hunger Games, and one of the Careers who have trained for the arena since childhood. Katniss Everdeen calls him a physical wonder: he is the second largest tribute that year, visibly powerful, proficient with spears and swords, and strong enough to snap a neck with his bare hands. District 2's enthusiasm for the Games has shaped him. He is aggressive, competitive past the point of reason, and openly contemptuous of the tributes he expects to go through. He is also arrogant enough to overestimate himself, and when something does not go his way he loses his temper completely.
