Past identity

Elliot Spenzer, born in Oblivion, Londres, Inglaterra, During World War I, Elliott Spencer served as a Captain in the British Expeditionary Force. He was a charismatic and eloquent man, who could feel great empathy and compassion for those around him, however after participating in one of the Battles of Flanders, he loses his faith in humanity after witnessing the inhumanity enacted upon one another. He also loses his faith in God, whom he believed failed mankind. Captain Spencer did not believe he had the right to live after watching many of his comrades perish in such horrific circumstances. Suffering from the severe effects of post traumatic stress disorder, the disillusioned and jaded Spencer wandered the Earth indulging in a hedonistic lifestyle, turning to the baser methods of gratification for satisfaction and pleasure, until finding the Lament Configuration in British India and finally understanding the true pleasures of pain and suffering.

Actual Identity

Pinhead's role has varied with each Hellraiser installment. In the script for the original film, Barker describes Pinhead and the other cenobites as "demons" in his notes; the character himself, however, upon capturing Kirsty Cotton, identifies himself as neither explicitly angelic or demonic, stating that he and his fellow entourage are "Explorers in the further regions of experience. Demons to some. Angels to others." The second film expounds on the idea of the Cenobites as demons by depicting them as denizens of a realm called Hell, a maze-like dimension ruled over by an entity known as Leviathan, where they subject their quarry to emotional and psychological torture. The third film radically altered the original concept, making Pinhead into a purely evil demon of chaos, explained by Pinhead losing the human, 'orderly', part of himself during the previous film. In the fourth film he is presented as a megalomaniac bent on world domination, and by the fifth he acts as a judge, punishing those who open the box for their sins by making them face their personal demons. In this film, he goes by the title of "Engineer", a name derived from the lead cenobite in Clive Barker's original novella. The seventh film reverts closer to the original film, with the Cenobites responsible for pleasure and pain, but the characters seem more demonic as in later installments.

Appearance

Pinhead's build is lean and thin, his musculature is that of an average soldier. While not massive, the cenobite lord is particularly tall, easily towering over his fellow adherents, as well most of the cenobite's victims. As a Cenobite, the being which would eventually become Pinhead had undergone drastic cosmetic surgery which had stripped him of any remains of his previous mammal self. He is completely hairless, having a fully shaved head. His skin has been bleached nearly entirely white, a product of either the blue blood circulating through his veins (within the movies), or due to the white ash doused over him (within the novella). Several scars can be noticed on his chest. His namesake is derived from the complex scarification and piercing of his entire head: a heavily detailed grid which had been either sliced over his head, according to the films, or tattooed, if we look at The Hellbound Heart. At every intersection of horizontal and vertical lines there has been rammed a jeweled pin. Within The Hellbound Heart, Pinhead's tongue has been similarly decorated.

Personality

Cold, calculating, relentless and unforgiving are the words which best describe the Cenobite Lord's behavior. As described by Clive Barker, Pinhead had been envisioned as being an insane intellectual well aware that all his actions are perverse and vile, yet goes out of his way to accomplish his deeds without ever second-guessing them. During the first movie of the franchise, when Pinhead confronts Kristy Cotton for the very first time he kindly asks her stop crying, claiming that she was wasting her emotions at the wrong moment. As the Cenobite high priest, Pinhead has been shown to be strictly loyal to the creed and lifestyle of the Order of the Gash. While in the first film he was largely neutral, Pinhead, as the series progressed, became a more standard horror villain and murdered more frequently.

Purpose

Condemning any living being that purposely opens the box to an eternal life of torture and suffering, Transforming certain humans or animals into cenobites.

Abilities

Immortality: Pinhead is shown to be biologically immortal, he is ageless and his body never decays. It's also heavily implied that he can't outright die from physical attacks, such as getting blown up, since he can easily reform or revive himself back in Hell. Only another supernatural being of his caliber or above such as the doctor has the ability to truly kill him, as shown in the second Hellraiser film where he reverted back to his human form. Pain Immunity: As a master of pain and pleasure, pinhead has subjected himself to an uncountable number of different tortures, both willingly and unwillingly. Because of the iron pins that has been nailed deep into his head, pinhead is assumed to be in a perpetual state of pain, a pain that he has since his transformation from human to cenobite gotten used to and seems to derive pleasure from it. This has allowed his body to be unnaturally resilient against physical attacks. Superhuman Durability: Pinhead is shown to be highly resistant to physical attacks, he is able to resist gunshots from the most powerful assault rifles and even futuristic energy weapons.Alysídakinesis: Pinhead's most famous signature move is his ability to mentally summon barbed iron hooks and chains out of thin air with the purpose of mutilating and/or restraining victims, often brutally pulling said victims in several directions to tear their whole body apart. These hooks and chains are subject to his total mental control and he may direct them at will, there also seems to be no limit to the amount he can summon forth. Pinhead is an unmatched master of this ability and is arguably his most powerful method of attack. Teleportation: In both hell and the physical world pinhead is capable of teleportation, appearing out of thin air at any location as he so desires. There is no known limit to this power or to how often he can teleport, but it's safe to assume that he can't teleport over infinite distances or outside of the Lament Configuration, unless he has been purposely summoned into the physical realm. This is also an ability that seems to be shared among all cenobites, at least the powerful ones. Conjuration: As shown in the third hellraiser movie (Hell on Earth) Pinhead as well as lesser cenobites is capable of creating explosions out of thin air, powerful enough to destroy cars.

Summoning

He along with other lesser cenobites can be summoned through solving the puzzle of the Lament Configuration box.
