** While most villain origin stories show the main character being sympathetic and a good person before their StartofDarkness, usually brought on by a tragic event, this is not the case with Coriolanus Snow in the prequel. From the start, he is shown to be an ambitious, manipulative and opportunistic young man, angry and resentful of how his family has fallen on hard times. He is also sympathetic to the fascist government running the Capitol, in contrast to Katniss Everdeen, the protagonist in the original trilogy. While he develops into the villain as we see him in the original trilogy, he was never a truly good person.

* PunchClockVillain: As the series goes on, it becomes apparent that a good portion of the lower and middle ranks are either this or outright ObliviouslyEvil. Caesar Flickerman for example clearly knows the score regarding the growing unrest but Katniss takes a gentler hand describing him since he does his best to "help tributes out" in appealing to sponsors. Many of the enlisted Peacekeepers are described as impoverished Capitol citizens who are stuck in a menial, marriage-less job for two decades with little chance for career advancement or even prospects finding a different job once their enlistment is up. [[spoiler: It is later revealed by Plutarch that many are actually drawn from District 2, and the prequel suggests that during/shortly after the Dark Days many were recruited from those seeking to escape poverty in other districts]]. Their higherups have little qualms [[ColdEquation putting them in dangerous situations]] to be sacrificed, sometimes by the Capitol's own weapons, and [[TokenGoodCop a few Peacekeepers are even described as benevolent]].

One of his primary methods of keeping people in line is threatening their loved ones if they defy him, something he has done without hesitation to multiple characters in the past. Katniss is but the latest victim of this tactic, and when she ends up [[spoiler: taking on the role of the Mockingjay]] he goes out of his way to personally torment her using the captive [[spoiler: Peeta]]. Unfortunately for him, Katniss is a bit slow on the uptake (or perhaps in severe denial about it) [[spoiler: requiring Peeta's explicit torture on television with Snow present, Prim and Finnick spelling things out, and several days underground reflecting to fully grasp his scheme, causing her to have a breakdown but only after she had rallied the rebels into making significant gains.]] That said, he has an even [[BrainwashedAndCrazy crueler surprise waiting for her]].

By the second movie, she's learned what role she's really playing and is horrified by it. It's indicated that having to send her victors in as tributes a second time really got to Effie and made things real for her, since she'd never been or had reason to be so attached to her tributes before and everybody in Panem though victors were safe.

The narration indicates that outside of a one night stand done on a dare, Snow never had any prior lovers (owing to his fear of being exposed as an ImpoverishedPatrician), and afterwards sought a woman he hated as a bride so to avoid ever falling in love again. Fans speculate that part of the reason Snow targets Katniss and Peeta (another pair of star-crossed lovers) as much as he does is due to sour grapes.
