Leader of the Cenobites, the Dark Prince of Pain, the Angel of Suffering — lovingly dubbed ‘Pinhead’ by his admirers…because he’s got pins…in his head…lots of them. Anyhoo, Pinhead is the guardian of the gateway to hell, which can only be opened when one solves the Lemarchand puzzle box, the lament configuration. He and his Cenobites are charged with awarding the “prize” to those “smart” or “lucky” enough to open the puzzle box — a prize that usually consists of being pierced by thousands of disembodied metal hooks and agonizingly being torn asunder over the course of infinite lifetimes. It doesn’t get any worse than that!
