The full Tributes Banners has been unfurled over at TheHungerGamesExplorer.com, giving us a nice look at 11 of the former victors who will be entering the arena when Catching Fire hits theaters in November. Obviously this doesn't include all the tributes. Some quick math reveals that more than half the combatants are missing, but these 11 are the ones from the book that seriously impact the story. Let's briefly run down who they are and why they matter.
1 & 2: Katniss Everdeen & Peeta Mellark
District 12, Jennifer Lawrence & Josh Hutcherson
Katniss and Peeta are the first ever co-victors. Fans will remember they won together after Head Gamemaker Seneca Crane changed the rules to allow two victors if they were from the same district. After realizing the rule change was a misstep, Crane tried to rescind it, but we all know what happened after that.
3 & 4: Gloss & Cashmere
District 1, Alan Ritchson & Stephanie Leigh Schlund
The books don't say which year Gloss (left) and Cashmere (right) won, but it does say they won consecutive years, and that they're the only brother and sister duo who have both won the Games. When Katniss meets them prior to the Quarter Quell, she describes them as polite but cool, and Cashmere strikes her as arrogant.
5&6: Wiress & Beetee
District 3, Amanda Plummer & Jeffrey Wright
Wiress is a sort of savant who has a hard time communicating with her District 3 co-tribute, Beetee. District 3 specializes in electronics and technology, so she and Beetee have specialized knowledge that could help Katniss uncover the true nature of the Quarter Quell's arena.
7 & 8: Enobaria & Brutus
District 2, Meta Golding & Bruno Gunn
Enobaria and Brutus are both particularly frightening tributes. Enobaria is known for having ripped out a tribute's throat with her teeth when she won her Games. She subsequently embraced her savage reputation by having her teeth filed into fang-like points. Meanwhile Brutus showed signs of actually being eager to head back into the Games, and he's possibly the most capable killer entering the arena.
9: Johanna Mason
District 7, Jena Malone
The beautiful and deadly Johanna Mason won her first Games by pretending to be hungry and weak before killing her fellow tributes. Being from District 7, where the chief industry is lumber, she's particularly adept with an axe.
10 & 11: Finnick Odair & Mags
District 4, Sam Claflin & Lynn Cohen
Finnick Odair is well-loved in the Capitol for his physical beauty. He and Mags are from District 4, a coastal area that specializes in fishing. She mentored him when he won the 65th Games at the age of 14, which would make him 24 in Catching Fire. He won his games by using a net and trident to snare, and then spear, his fellow tributes.
