Orion Wade

Orion Wade is the victor of the 41st Hunger Games, and mentor to Cascadia Lockwind and Birk Henriksson.

Early Life
Orion grew up in District 4 in a moderately well off fishing family. From a young age, he trained to be a Career Tribute.

He was in the same year as Birk Henriksson, whom he'd later mentor, in school, and trained alongside most of the Careers who would go on to volunteer for the 43rd Games.

41st Hunger Games
Orion volunteered for the 41st Hunger Games at age 17, a year younger than most Careers. His district partner was a fellow Career named Katie Spinner, with whom he formed an alliance and a strong friendship. It's implied that he may also have had a crush on her.

His mentors were Mags Flannagan and Cove Halloran.

In training, Orion scored an 8, but his interview went exceedingly well, winning him a fair number of sponsors. At the beginning of the Games, his odds of winning were 8-1.

During the Games, Katie and Orion started out as allies, and split away from the rest of the Career Pack together on the third day. However, Katie later turned on Orion and tried to kill him. In the process, she left him badly injured and blind in one eye. Her attempt was unsuccessful, however, as he managed to find a rock and use it to kill her instead.

42nd Hunger Games
Orion became a mentor to the tributes from District 4, alongside Mags Flannagan. He watched both of his tributes die during the 42nd Games, an experience that affected him even worse than his own Games. Although Cove was transfered to District 12 after his win, Orion's friendship with her remained strong.

43rd Hunger Games
Orion once again serves as a mentor to the tributes from District 4. He immediately takes on an older brother role in Cascadia's life, teaching her to throw daggers and doing his best to keep her spirits up during training. He and Birk, who's a month older than him, clash at first, but eventually form a truce.

On his first night in the Capitol, he catches his tributes, who'd snuck out to a bar, having a night on the town.

During training, it's revealed that Trajan is part of the rebellion; he also reaches out to both tributes from District 3 to ask their help with a plan of his.

Personality
Orion was not left as deeply traumatised by his victory as other mentors. Fundamentally, he's kind, if serious and reserved. As a relatively new mentor, he's still somewhat optimistic about his tributes and takes losing them badly. Like many of his fellow victors, he harbours a deep resentment against the Capitol.
