Head Gamemaker since the first Hunger Games, a University professor, and head of the Capitol's Experimental Weapons Division, Dr. Volumnia Gaul breeds muttations in laboratories beneath the Citadel.

Dr. Volumnia Gaul is the Head Gamemaker in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and the person who has overseen every Hunger Games since the first. She also teaches at the Capitol's University, lecturing in biology and in military theory, and she runs the Capitol's Experimental Weapons Division out of the Citadel, where she breeds muttations in laboratories far below ground. She takes a close interest in the Academy students chosen to mentor tributes for the 10th Hunger Games, appearing with assignments of her own and describing herself as mentoring their mentorships. She teaches by provocation, setting essays on what her students find attractive about war and telling them that wars are won with heads rather than hearts. The phrase may the odds be ever in your favor is hers.
