How Coriolanus Snow became the oppressive leader of Panem
Set 64 years before Katniss Everdeen enters The Hunger Games, Coriolanus Snow was an 18 year old student at the Academy in Panem whose family reputation rested on his shoulders. When he gets assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird, a tribute from District 12 who sings during the reaping ceremony of the 10th annual Hunger Games, Coriolanus spots an opportunity to turn the odds in their favour and rise to power.
