Silken Alois

Silken Alois, AKA Farlon Lionhardt, was the male District Five Tribute for the Twenty-Eighth Hunger Games.
== Pre-Games Life ==
"Farlon Lionhardt" was born Silken Alois in District One. At a young age he was recruited into a top-secret paramilitary organization started by President Luperca Galba to train One and Two citizens to act as spies and quell rebellion in other Districts. Silken was assigned to District Five and remained there until the program was disbanded when he was fourteen after an information leak.
== Games Description ==
In the Games Building Silken reunited with his former coworker and close friend Kazuo Braun, who had been assigned to District One and had for years thought Silken was dead. The two of them immediately broke away from the Career path and formed their own alliance.
Silken and Kazuo raided the Cornucopia and left the Bloodbath with an abundance of supplies. They constructed a camouflaged shelter and talked long into the night, catching up on years of separation.
Over the next few days Silken began showing signs of mental degradation. Reuniting with Kazuo brought up old memories exacerbated by the stresses of the Arena. He began to fracture into two personalities, splitting himself into gentlehearted Farlan and dauntless Silken. He attempted to secure his future with the Capitol Silken began to deny Kazuo's reminisces about his old identity and insisted that he had only ever been Farlan. This psychological turmoil forced a psychotic break and Silken began speaking to himself in his mind as both Farlan and Silken. Kazuo pleaded with him to act normal and not draw Capitol suspicion but Silken was unable to understand his concerns. Eventually Kazuo was forced to abandon him to avoid Gamemaker reprisals. The next day Arielle Ermin of District Four attacked Silken as he wandered talking to himself. When Arielle scored a shallow cut on Silken's arm the Gamemakers took the excuse to detonate his tracker. The explosion triggered a massive internal hemorrhage that killed Silken as Arielle looked on in confusion.
== Personality ==
Silken was a dutiful and mature young man who was devoted to his duty and determined to see his mission through. It was only with fellow spy Kazuo that he was able to relax and be himself. With his friend Silken he enjoyed boyish games and the immature capers anyone else his age would have gotten into. Silken was of average mental resilience but the intense pressures of his training, the dissonance of his double life, and the rigors of the Arena caused a mental breakdown that ultimately caused the Gamemakers to terminate him in order to prevent the leakage of any classified information.
