Brutus got mentored by Magnus in which he knew as Magnus trained him back in District 2.
When the pair reached the Capitol he met his stylist team. Alexia, a girl with almost pink with everything, Flamsteed, a skinny man with dark blue hair, Palm, a girl with orange hair and pink nails. During the tribute parade Brutus and Agatha wore police officer outfits with fake guns and weapons. Brutus liked his outfit. Brutus and Agatha were met by the pair from 4, Muriel and Brooks. Brutus didn't get the time to meet with the pair from 1 as he was very tired.
Training[]
During training Brutus now met the pair from 1, Leon and Thalassa. Brutus usually worked on the weapon stations and showed off his spear skills infront of the gamemakers. Brutus did laugh at the other tributes when his fellow careers made fun of them.
During the last day of training Brutus really showed off his skills.. Brutus got a score of 10 which was very good. Agatha got a score of 9 which was also very good.

Brutus got up and beat the boy from 4. Then he threw him in the mutts killing him and crowning Brutus the victor.
Post Games[]

Julius later asked Brutus if he loved the Hunger Games, Brutus yelled yes. After the interview Brutus meets many other victors like Scorpii Inchcape, Seeder Howell, Jago Potshore, Thorburn Chlodowech, Haden locke, Eero Nitva and many others.
