Lepidus Malmsey
A fledgling Capitol News reporter covering the 10th Hunger Games in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, interviewing tributes and their student mentors on air for the Capitol audience.
Lepidus Malmsey is a fledgling reporter for Capitol News, the Capitol's main news organization, at the time of the 10th Hunger Games in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Early in his career and eager to prove himself, he lands the assignment of covering the Games for the Capitol audience, which puts him on camera for the public spectacle surrounding the event: the display of the newly arrived tributes, the buildup before the arena, and the Academy students attached to the Games as its first class of student mentors. He favors the quick human-interest interview, a bright question and a ready smile, and he stays alert to the danger that a tribute's stray remark on a live broadcast might curdle into criticism of the Capitol.
