Cenobites were once human, having transformed to their current state in their pursuit of gratification. The Hellbound Heart says the Cenobites are also known as "The Order of the Gash". Cenobite in the Hellraiser franchise represents a member of a masochistic religious community, priest of Leviathan. In The Scarlet Gospels, he was given the official name of "The Hell Priest" by Barker.Įtymologically the definition of the term " cenobite" represents the member of a religious order, who lives in a monastic community. The most popular of the Cenobites was nameless in the original novella but was then nicknamed " Pinhead" by the production crew and fans of the first Hellraiser movie. The Cenobites appear in prose stories authorized but not written by Clive Barker, such as the anthology Hellbound Hearts edited by Paul Kane and Marie O'Regan, the novella Hellraiser: The Toll (plotted by Barker and written by Mark Alan Miller), and the novel Sherlock Holmes and the Servants of Hell written by Paul Kane. In the novel Weaveworld, they are mentioned in passing as "The Surgeons".
Introduced in Barker's 1986 novella The Hellbound Heart, they also appear in its sequel novel The Scarlet Gospels, the Hellraiser films, and in Hellraiser comic books published (intermittently) between 19. The Cenobites are fictional extra-dimensional, seemingly demonic beings who appear in the works of Clive Barker.
