Achilleus Shaw

Achilleus Shaw (17 July 18 AS  – 18 June 2  PS ) was the male tribute from District 2 in the 2nd Hunger Games. Originally from Kloksios, he was 18-years-old and was studying to become a stonemason prior to being reaped for the games.

Despite initially being considered a fearsome competitor, Shaw was the eleventh and final tribute to die in the initial bloodbath. Immediately after the games began, Shaw found himself frozen on his starting platform due to his immense fear of water. In a state of shock, he was unable to move or get off from his platform, leading to Helga Lieberwach of District 10 to notice his struggle and promptly kill him with an arrow to the throat while making her way out from the cornucopia.

Early life
Shaw was born in Kloksios, District 2 to parents Odysseus and Afrodita Shaw. His father is a stonemason, while his mother is a weaponry manufacturer. Shaw has a younger sister: Persephone.

After the announcement of the Hunger Games, Shaw began training for the games, like many children in District 2 do, with the plan of eventually volunteering for the games.

Reaping
The 2nd Hunger Games were the last edition of the games that Shaw would have been eligible for, so he planned to volunteer regardless of whether he was reaped. When Shaw was not selected in the reaping, he was the first to volunteer and was accepted as a volunteer. The escort for District 2 was Giorgio Clemente, while the female tribute was Artemisa Thierry.

Opening ceremony
In the opening ceremony, Shaw was styled by the District 2 head stylist Ellinore Marie. As one of District 2's industries is masonry, Marie designed a stoneman costume for her tributes. They placed 8th out of 12.

Training
In training, Shaw demonstrated advanced ability with a spear and immense strength, in addition to basic survival skills. This earned him a training score of 9. Shaw was the highest-ranked tribute, along with Alix Treilblitzer of District 4.
