Haymitch Abernathy is initially portrayed as a paunchy, middle-aged, disheveled, and often drunk man, but is revealed to be a skilled and strategic victor from the 50th Hunger Games. During the Second Rebellion, Haymitch is described as looking slightly yellow and having lost a lot of weight, with eyes "ringed with the circles of sleepless nights".

Haymitch is 40-50 years old and stands at 5'10 in height, weighing 175 pounds.

Haymitch is surly, violent, and drunk most of the time. But he did his job — more than his job—because for the first time in history, two tributes were allowed to win.

Haymitch Abernathy was a surly, wise-cracking drunkard and victor of the 50th Hunger Games or "Second Quarter Quell". Prior to the 74th Hunger Games, in which he successfully mentored tributes Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark to victory, helping two tributes win the games for the first time in history, Haymitch was one of two victors from District 12 and the only one still alive. Following the announcement of the 75th Hunger Games and the subsequent destruction of the arena thanks to Katniss, Haymitch relocated to District 13 where he became a leading figure in the Mockingjay Rebellion.

As District 12’s only surviving winner of the Hunger Games, Haymitch acts as Katniss’s and Peeta’s coach throughout the Games. Though he is drunk most, in fact nearly all, of the time, he proves a cunning advisor to the young tributes. It is never made explicit in the novel, but it appears to be Haymitch who devises the strategy of playing up the romance between Katniss and Peeta, a move that ultimately allows both of them to survive the Games even though traditionally only one winner has been allowed. Haymitch also finds a way of communicating with Katniss during the Games through the gifts he sends her, essentially coaching her on how she should behave to get more sponsors. Albeit in a very limited way, he also acts as somewhat of a father figure to Katniss, who lost her father years earlier. While Haymitch is often indelicate and manipulative, frequently using Peeta and his feelings for Katniss to get the results he wants, he is undeniably effective. When Katniss and Peeta wonder how he won the Hunger Games, Peeta suspects he must have outsmarted the other tributes.
