### Post Victory Games

Whilst outwardly, Ferric was not affected by the Hunger Games, whilst at home and away from the prying eyes of the capitol, Ferric had become paranoid and haunted by the games as a result. Most nights in the Victor's Village would be filled with horrific screaming and followed by wailing. During the games, Ferric decapitated a young boy aged around 14 from District 10 and whilst on his Victor Tour is attacked by the tribute's family.

Post Victory, Ferric had been repressing his memories in order to cope with the realisation of how many tributes had died by his hands. When the tribute's family attacks him, Ferric experiences his first anxiety induced attack as a result of his PTSD and mentally shuts down resulting in the temporary halt of his Victor Tour.

His wife Catalina supports him through this until she is approached by President Snow. Their discussion can be viewed here; Catalina Divinum. Afterwards, Catalina becomes cold towards Ferric and essentially bullies him into continuing his Victor Tour. When he finishes his Victor Tour, Catalina again bullies him but this time to give her a child. Catalina goes on to have two children; Olive and Saffron. There is 2 years apart from them. Olive is adored by Ferric and he soon distracts himself with his children as a result.

Catalina is again approached by President Snow who gives her further instructions regarding the children she bears. To summarise he threatens her to have more children as a beacon of hope for the other districts as well as so the Capitol have something to watch and adore. As a result, Catalina pressures Ferric to have more children with her. They have two more children; Paxton and Riggs with a year separating the pair.

Ferric confides in Catalina after Riggs' 2nd birthday that he doesn't want any further children and wants to enjoy the remaining years he has left. Catalina belittles him and reminds him that if he dies or attempts suicide his children will be bullied and grow up in poverty. Knowing his children would suffer further with their mother without him around, Ferric convinces himself to push past his depressive episodes for the sake of his children.

Whenever he is interviewed by the Capitol he speaks fondly of his children and will hardly mention his wife unless necessary. He resents Catalina for pressuring him to have children and ensures his children feel loved as he knows Catalina does not really care for them and cares more so for impressing President Snow.

### During the events of the 38th Hunger Games

When his youngest daughter is chosen, Ferric feels dread and helplessness. He knows there is nothing he can do to prevent his child going into the game and feels weak knowing this. He is also hurt when his son Saffron volunteers to go into the games with his sister. At first, Ferric thinks it is a sick joke and believes Saffron was going into the games to ultimately kill his younger sister.

This is due to Saffron's detached demeanour with his family and essentially being a 'black sheep' of the family. When Saffron confesses to him that Catalina pressured him to volunteer and had been secretly training him to be desensitised to killing, Ferric forgives his son and promises to mentor him and Daphne.

Before he leaves for the capitol with his two children, Ferric has a heated argument with Catalina which turns into a physical fight when she admits what she did to their eldest son. He confides in his eldest daughter, Olive, before his departure and explains the situation. Olive takes Paxton and Riggs with her to her girlfriend's house to stay during the duration of the 38th Hunger Games. Catalina has a mental breakdown during this time as a result.

Ferric mentors Saffron and Daphne as much as he can with the knowledge he kept. For Daphne he mentors her on how to get sponsors, as for Saffron he intensively trains him so that he is able to protect himself and his sister during the games. Throughout the games he stays in the capitol only watching his children and doing whatever he can to provide them with sponsors.

### The Victor and Riot of Divinum

Whilst the last few moments of the 38th Hunger Games play, Ferric is back at home with his remaining children. The Divinum's watch as Saffron is killed from one of his earlier traps with another tribute, whilst Daphne is thrown back due to the explosion. With no update on Daphne's condition and presumed dead, Ferric suffers a mental breakdown and shortly dies of a stress induced heart attack. Olive his daughter as a result of this leads a riot with her girlfriend which results in the death of the Divinum family with the exclusion of Daphne who remained in critical condition after the events prior to her victory.

When Daphne returns home she buries the remains of her family outside their family home before residing in said home.

Ferric Divinum is classified deceased as a result of disloyalty to the capitol and whilst his death is not broadcasted to the other district's, his portrait with the words 'MURDERER' are broadcasted as the Capitol propagates that he murdered his wife as a form of rebellion to the capitol. This is however not the case, and the death of his family was essentially forgotten about by the Capitol and many of the other districts.

It is said that Ferric had a brother, however along with his parents, it is assumed all remaining family Ferric has, with the exception of Daphne, are deceased either from natural causes or for antagonising President Snow in some way, shape, or form.
