A/N: Thanks to krikanalo and Klicker'andKash for reviewing the last chapter! :)

I should probably mention that this story is being written from a general Capitol perspective, from a person like Caesar Flickerman, although it isn't actually him, if that makes sense. I just thought I'd clear that up.

In seventy-four years of Hunger Games, very few brother-and-sister pairings have competed in the Games, and Gloss is the only victor alive able to say that his sister also won the Hunger Games herself. Having won the 64th Annual Hunger Games aged sixteen a year after his sister took the crown, Gloss established a very different persona to his sister when in the arena, mastering the arts of stealth to emerge victorious.

A well-trained Career Tribute of District 1, Gloss had it all going for him from the start. Natural good looks - probably a genetic trait shared with his twin sister - made Gloss a favourite among the Capitol audience from the beginning, winning over the fans to gain a massive amount of sponsor support prior to the Games. Elevated even higher by his ties to his now-famous sister Cashmere, Gloss was a clear favourite for the crown before he even stepped into the arena.

In the arena, Gloss was known for a ruthless streak that outlasted his time with the Career Pack. His silent takedowns are still considered to be among the finest examples ever witnessed. The move which he used to win the 64th Hunger Games - that is, hiding inside the cornucopia prior to a feast - has been emulated by many tributes in several Hunger Games since his victory, although admittedly this has been done to various degrees of success.

In the eleven years since his victory in the Games, Gloss has often returned to the Capitol alongside his sister, often to mentor for the Games. In seven years mentoring, Gloss has produced two victors and all seven tributes making it into the final eight, an as impressive record as a mentor as anyone in the business. Whatever it is that Gloss manages to drill into his tributes, it seems to work. He's got a knack of getting the best out of them.

This year, the tables are turned on Gloss as the mentor becomes the tribute, with one of his victors, Johan Hurst, taking his place as a mentor. It'll be interesting to see how that dynamic pans out throughout the Games, as so many tributes who would expect decent sponsor support will battling against each other. In their individual years, nearly all of the tributes in this year's Games dominated the sponsor support, but who will emerge atop the supply pile this year? Only time will tell, but Gloss has definitely amassed more than his fair share of admirers in the last decade.

No family has ever boasted more than two Hunger Games victors. Will the Adlingtons be the first to take their total to three during the Third Quarter Quell? I wouldn't bet against it, that's for sure. Watch this space, people - Gloss is a real contender in these Games.
