Belisarius Komenus

Belisarius Komenus was the male District Two Tribute for the Twenty-Eighth Hunger Games.
== Pre-Games Life ==
Belisarius was born into fame and legacy after his far older brother Makarios won the Sixth Hunger Games. Makarios encouraged his little brother to volunteer for the Games and trained him in addition to the instruction Belisarius received in the Academy. Belisarius felt pressured to live up to his older brother and the pride his parents had in Makarios.
== Games Description ==
Arena: Tropical Archipelago
Belisarius had little interest in killing but found himself fighting with Chantal Ivingin of District One in the Bloodbath. When Calden Orygin of District Eight joined the fight Belisarius fatally speared him. Throughout the Games he told himself he hadn't meant to although he knew that wasn't entirely true. That night Belisarius volunteered to stand guard over the supplies. When his allies left to hunt he took provisions, a poncho and a sword and slipped away into the water.
One week into the Games the Gamemakers grew impatient with the slow pace of the killings and sent a tsunami to sink one of the islands, which Belisarius happened to be on. He climbed a tree to avoid the rising sea level. The rising water eventually knocked the tree over. Belisarius fell into the deep water and was disoriented in the tangle of branches. He was unable to find his way to the surface and drowned.
== Placing ==
9th
== Personality ==
Belisarius resented the expectations of his family. He loved his parents and his brother but did not want the path his family expected he would eagerly take. He was unsure of his desires for the future. He never got the chance to decide what he wanted but knew he did not want the life of a murderous Career. Despite his training he avoided conflict and refused to kill anyone other than the slightly-defensive killing of Calden. He experienced great inner conflict during the Games and was frustrated at his inability to express himself.
