Spruce is a rebel in District 12 and Lil’s brother. He, Billy Taupe, and Sejanus conspire to run away with Lil and weapons, but things don’t go according to plan: in an altercation, Spruce kills Billy Taupe while Coriolanus kills Mayfair Lipp. Spruce dies under uncertain circumstances after being brought to the Peacekeepers’ hospital with injuries.
