## Biography

### Early life

Evyn lived in District 12 prior to the 68th Hunger Games. He had two twin elder siblings, making him the youngest in the family, who would be later introduced as Alice Sinclair and Aric Sinclair in Part 3 of Tribute. Evyn worked in an apothecary which was near where he lived, which made him have a knowledge of remedies and tending to small wounds. It is implied that he and his family lived in the Seam and that the apothecary Evyn worked in belonged to Mrs. Everdeen, although it is unconfirmed. When Evyn was 12 years old, he signed up for a tesserae just like his siblings. At the age of 17, his name was entered thirty times into the reaping bowl.

### Reaping

Evyn was chosen during the reaping at the age of 17 for the 68th Hunger Games along with Viviane, District 12’s female tribute.

### Training and Interview

Evyn, along with his district partner Viviane, dressed up as a coal miner to represent their district’s industry, which was coal mining, during the tribute parade. During the lunch breaks in training, Evyn decided to sit and introduce himself to Mavis and Harlan, which gained suspicion from Mavis though Harlan welcomed him with open arms. Evyn described how his district partner, Viviane, was quiet, even though he couldn’t blame her. For the rest of the training days, Evyn tagged with Mavis and Harlan, leading up to the private sessions with the Gamemakers. It is not known what Evyn showed as his skill, although he received a seven. During his interview with Caesar Flickerman, Evyn was dressed in a charcoal gray suit that complimented Viviane’s dress. Caesar talks with him about his odds against the others, and he responds of how there are tough competitors and also pretty ones, indirectly mentioning Mavis by that statement. After the interviews, Evyn catches Mavis in the elevator and joins her in a small conversation, wishing her luck in case they don’t see each other the next day.

### The Games

In the arena, Evyn and Viviane managed to move around quickly and stayed away from the others for the first couple of days. Evyn manages to secure a knife and a sleeping bag from the Cornucopia in the beginning of the Games. They are able to hide in a cave similar to the one Mavis hid in and use it as a hideout.

One day, Evyn goes out to find food when he stumbles upon Mavis’s unconscious body. Unsure if she’s dead or still alive, he checks her pulse and to his relief is still alive. Evyn makes the decision to carry Mavis back to their hideout, not wanting to leave her like that. When he and Viviane are out scavenging for food again, Mavis wakes up from her state. When they return, Mavis, unaware that it is Evyn, throws a dagger on him, causing him to fall to the floor. Mavis apologizes to him and Evyn says it’s alright, glad that Mavis is awake again. Later in the evening, Evyn, Viviane, and Mavis agree on a three-way alliance.

In the morning, all three set out to find water. Trudging through the woods after a while, Evyn spots a small pond. Mavis suggests there’s somewhere they can camp out in, Evyn agreeing, saying that she and Viviane could look while Evyn gathers water. Viviane, unsure about this, questions if she and him could look around. Evyn says again that she and Mavis can go while he gathers water. Once they leave, Evyn is approached by the boy from District 1. The two of them get into a brawl, the boy shoving a knife into Evyn’s shoulder and Evyn retaliating by killing him in the end. Mavis and Viviane come running back to see Evyn and the boy from District 1, who is lying dead on the floor.

In the evening, all three are able to find a place to stay and Mavis attempts to tend at Evyn’s shoulder wound, not too serious to be dealt with. She then leaves him to fall asleep, though he secretly doesn’t to make sure Mavis and Viviane are able to reconcile, which they somewhat do.

Evyn and Mavis wake to a noise in the morning when Mavis realizes that Viviane is no longer with them. She gets up to locate the sound, leaving Evyn. He shoves everything underneath a bush so no one is able to steal their items and follows Mavis to the site, knife in hand. Evyn finds Mavis at a gunpoint-like situation with the female from District 4, who’s trident is on Mavis’s neck. The District 4 girl, who’s name is later to be revealed as Uta by Evyn himself, taunts the two of them until a cannon is sounded, which notes Viviane’s death. Mavis is able to kick Uta off of her, though she takes a cut to the collarbone. Uta then charges at Evyn, and before reaching him, Mavis throws a dagger at Uta, causing her to collapse on Evyn to the ground. Evyn and Mavis stare at Viviane’s body before Evyn begins to gather Mavis’s knife from Uta. He hands her the dagger and Mavis reluctantly takes it. Before they leave, Evyn does the three-finger salute towards Viviane’s body.

Evyn and Mavis retreat back to their spot, packing their things away to go to the lake where Mavis cleans off her dagger. Evyn searches for berries as she does this, only gathering up poisonous ones stated by Mavis. After a few moments of convincing, Evyn tends to Mavis’s cuts while the two of them talk about their jobs they had before the Games. Evyn suggests Mavis teach him how to climb, which is what they spend the rest of the day doing. At nightfall, they secure a tree, strapping themselves onto the branch together so they don’t fall using Mavis’s climbing rope. They eat the thin slices of bread from Mavis’s pack.

A sponsorship appears in the morning, sparking joy between the two. It’s contained with four loaves of bread, two of them from District 8 and the other two from District 12. Evyn explains the different types of bread from each district to Mavis, in response to her questioning him how he knew their district breads. They spend most of the day searching for food and water, only finding groosling in the end.
