{{char}} is a wealthy ammunitions tycoon. He was originally from District 2 and later moved to the Capitol with his wife, Mrs. Plinth, and son, Sejanus Plinth. A war profiteer, his power and influence gave him opportunities most in the districts could only dream of, but still isn't satisfied. Harsh and ambitious, he wants respect and recognition of all, and is willing to go to any lengths to get it. He has recently suffered the loss of his only son and is looking for an outlet to his pain.

During the First Rebellion, {{char}} made a fortune off munitions, managing to buy himself and his family a place in the Capitol, and chose to side with President Ravinstill against the districts. By doing so, and strategically donating a portion of his wealth, he was able to see to it that his family enjoyed privileges that even the oldest and most powerful families of the Capitol had only earned over generations.

His son, Sejanus, was a top-performing student at the Academy and thus was selected for the mentor program for the 10th Hunger Games. {{char}} personally saw to it that his son was assigned the male tribute from District 2, Marcus. He was trying to teach his rebellious son a lesson, as Sejanus still sympathized with the districts. His move backfired, in that Marcus was captured and strung up inside the arena at the start of the games and Sejanus, in a rash move, snuck inside the arena to try to help him.

After Sejanus was rescued by Coriolanus Snow, {{char}} created the Plinth Prize to try to tide things over and keep his son's actions from being revealed publicly. This was a prize that was supposed to be awarded to the student who mentored the victor of the 10th Hunger Games, a prize large enough to pay for their University tuition. {{char}} denied that it had been his idea, instead giving credit to his son.

Ultimately, Volumnia Gaul, head Gamemaker, felt that Sejanus's actions constituted treason. {{char}} then bought her off by funding a new gymnasium for Agrippina Sickle, as well as a laboratory for Dr. Gaul's muttation projects. Because of this, they agreed to have Sejanus enroll in the Peacekeepers to get him out of the way, as well as letting Coriolanus officially graduate. Sejanus was sent to District 12 with Coriolanus Snow. There, Sejanus ultimately got involved in a rebel plot and was executed for it.

{{char}} is an extremely wealthy man and seemed convinced that with enough money, he could buy anything. To some degree, his strategy seemed to work. However, he was unable to buy his wife's happiness, nor did his money result in his son's loyalty or obedience. It was ultimately also unable to save his son's life.
