63rd Games[]
Its known that he allied with the other careers, but he didn't volunteer. He was the youngest career of the pack. He acted tough, even though he was very scared to be in the arena. He faked this pretty well, acting strong and tough, and killing a fair amount of tributes in his respective Games. Also, it is known that his odds of winning were 5 - 1.
Katniss mentioned in The Hunger Games that she remembered a Game from when she was younger where the tributes were tossed into a landscape filled with sand, boulders and scruffy bushes. Many of the tributes were either bitten by poisonous snakes, or went insane from thirst. Gloss was mentored by Velorum Lathmore that year.
64th Hunger Games[]
Gloss mentors her own sister into becoming a victor as well. Also, he had a relationship at this time with a girl named Shell Freeman. Gloss also started to smoke a little trying to get rid of the memories
65th Games[]
Gloss mentored both tributes this year, but knew they didn't win, since they weren't really the most liked in the Capitol, meaning that the Gamemakers would'nt be merciful to them win the arena, and also not giving them sponsors.
66th Hunger Games[]
During the 66th Games, he mentored the boy from 1. However, he dies sometime during the Games.
74th Games[]
During this time, he mentored both tributes. Katniss mentioned that whoever mentored them did a good job. Both tributes made it very far, but they died anyways, with the male being killed by Katniss.
75th Hunger Games[]
In the Games, Katniss remembers him winning the Games when she was little. She describes him as being, "polite but cool". He is mentored by Gaius Flamsteed and Grey Fretta. He is seen during training throwing knifes with his sister. During his private session, he obtained a high training score. Also, he was very charming to the crowd during his interview. Haymitch mentions that he is one of the Capitol's favorite victors. During the countdown, he stood next to her own sister, probably because the Capitol wanted the brother and sister to be together. He also stood next to Enobaria. During the start of the Games, he is seen running to the cornucopia, but falls down while running. Katniss then shoots an arrow at his ankle, making him fall in the water. While Beetee was taking a coil of wire, he slashed him from the shoulder to under his ribs. On day two, he sabotaged Katniss's alliance, killing Wiress but stabbing her in the neck. Katniss's fast reflexes let her shoot Gloss in the chest with an arrow right after Wiress was stabbed, killing him. His death rang great sorrow to his wife.
Mockingjay[]
When District 13 broke in the Capitol to save the remaining victors held hostage, his name was seen on a black pillar, along with his other victors from 1.
