Tiberius Howell

Tiberius Howell is the Victor of the 97th Hunger Games from District 2. His Victory in the Games marked the second back-to-back Victory for one District since the Second Rebellion, as his mentor Titania Firestone had previously won the 96th Games.
Tiberius is spoken about frequently in Sapphire Tears: The 98th Hunger Games, as he was the most recent Victor at the time of the story. Tiberius also appears in the flesh in Hunger Games: Ultimate Crown, when all of the Victors meet to discuss the future of the Games.
==Ultimate Crown==
Tiberius is first introduced in Ultimate Crown at a meeting among all of the Victors. Despite previously being a Career tribute, Tiberius expresses his disgust of the Hunger Games and of Tantalus Snow, telling the other Victors that Snow was trying to lure them into a trap by suggesting the end of the Games at their personal sacrifice. As a result of his comment, Tiberius is seen by the other Victors as a leader for the 'No' block of Victors voting against entering the Arena. By following through with this vote, the 150th Games would consist of regular tributes and the Hunger Games would continue as usual; this viewpoint may actually indicate Tiberius' hopes to continue the Games as a mentor of Career tributes. Following up his comment, Tiberius voted no on the proposal, although it was eventually passed with a majority.
==Sapphire Tears==
Tiberius has a larger role in Sapphire Tears, although he is not actually encountered in the story. The story begins with Tiberius' Victory Tour; Karla Hayes recounts pretending to be the sister of one of the District 8 orphans reaped into the 97th Games when Tiberius visits the District. In District 11, it is revealed that Tiberius is popular with female audiences, as represented by Eddie James' younger sister Allie. However, Ma James reveals that Tiberius is very unpopular in District 11, as he killed their female tribute in a particularly gruesome fashion.
In District 2, it is revealed that the tributes in the 98th Games (Safira Holland and Judah Avellino) are under extra pressure to succeed, as they are following a two-year winning streak set by Tiberius and Titania.
