A Dwarf from District 5, Cabe stood out among his District peers, as he was a rough and tumble bar brawler from a District traditionally focused on power and electricity. The brash but gregarious man was simple and found great joy in hand-to-hand combat, which he built much of his life around. Cabe made quite a show of his electric powers during his interview but did not, however, seem to fully understand his power. Apart from his interview, Cabe struggled to stand out among the Capitol citizenry, never gaining much viewer support.

## Character Bio

### Appearance

Cabe was a short but stout Dwarf with a scarred, weathered face. For most of his adult life, he had a red mohawk down the middle of his skull, with nothing but bare skin and tattoos adorning the sides. His long, wiry dark brunette beard was usually braided and held together by thick pieces of steel, which seemed to this Archivist barely able to contain it.

### Character History

#### Childhood

Even at a young age, Cabe was considered and treated differently than most in District 5. A place focused on the science and production of electricity was not accustomed to someone with such a brutish appearance and attitude. Cabe knew that he did not fit in but embraced his differences from his brethren and seemed comfortable forging his own path.

#### Adolescence

Not quite as young as many of the other Season 1 tributes, Cabe spent his young adulthood working at a pub. Eventually, he became involved in organized bar brawls and underground fighting rings. It is unknown whether this was for mere sport or financial need played a part. In either case, it was in these places that Cabe started to learn and practice his formidable combat skills.

## Preparing For The Games

### Interview

Cabe's interview with Caesar was an excellent showcase of his personality. It was here that the audience learned of his controversial view of the technologies that are prevalent in District 5. He also went into detail about his job at a tavern as well as his hobby of moonlighting as a semi-professional bar brawler. The trademark moment of Cabe's interview occurred when Caesar slipped Cabe a small flask. After taking the flask from Caesar, Cabe drank a large swig and subsequently let out an incredibly large belch that both shocked and thrilled the audience.

### Time in the Training Grounds

The Training Grounds were not a social place for Cabe. For the most part, he caused little commotion and trained silently for the upcoming Evaluations. Perhaps overdoing his training before the Evaluation, Cabe struggled to impress, only scoring a 4.2 (second lowest among tributes).

## During The Games

### Bloodbath

Despite his Dwarven heritage, Cabe started the bloodbath unbalanced. He moved from one piece of equipment to the next, managing to control an Entertainer's Kit and a breastplate before moving to secure a rapier. It was this act that would force him into conflict with Ettezroc, who struck him with Parashu. A firebolt from Thyra was followed by another from Amara, laying out the brawler.

### Death

As Cabe drew his last breaths, Ifan struck the final blow and ended the Dwarf's time in the arena.

## Trivia

Friends of Cabe described him as 'an unlucky gambler'.

Both District 5 tributes, Cabe and Rhyno, fell during the Bloodbath.

Cabe's Holy Symbol, a mundane silver mug which he was not permitted to bring into the Arena, has been catalogued by the Archive.
