Plutarch Heavensbee Character Analysis

Plutarch Heavensbee is a double agent who seemed to be working for the government headed by President Coriolanus Snow, but in actuality is loyal to the rebels. A former resident of the Capitol of Panem (and Head Gamemaker of the Hunger Games), Plutarch is used to a pampered, luxurious life, and he finds it difficult to adjust to the spartan lifestyle common in District 13. Although Plutarch proves himself highly useful to the rebel cause many times—stealing government information that allows a rebel team to infiltrate the Capitol, for instance—Katniss believes that Plutarch is expendable to the rebel cause, and warns him that President Alma Coin won’t hesitate to kill him if the need arises.
