Finnick won the 65th Hunger Games at the age of 14, where he was mentored by previous District 4 victor, Mags. During the 65th Hunger Games he was given a trident, which was probably the most expensive gift ever given in the Games. The trident was a weapon which he wielded with proficiency and with the help of a net he wove by hand from some vines he found in the arena, he managed to trap his opponents in his net and then slay them with his trident. During the 74th Hunger Games he served as the mentor alongside Mags for District 4, as revealed in Mockingjay when he becomes the expert on Peeta's memories of his two times in the arena. He participated in the 3rd Quarter Quell a year later, and became part of an alliance with Peeta Mellark, Katniss Everdeen, Wiress, Beetee, Johanna Mason and previous mentor Mags.[3]
