Festus is one of Coriolanus’s classmates, a good friend, and Coral’s mentor during the Hunger Games. Coriolanus describes Festus as upstanding and solid. Festus gives Coriolanus the idea to propose introducing betting to the Hunger Games when he comments that he cares more about dogs he bets on in dogfights than he does about the tributes. He regularly uses dogfighting analogies when he speaks during classes.
