Past Life
Elliott Spenser
He wasn't always Pinhead. In fact, he was once human. He was born Elliott Spencer around the early 1900's and was in a time of war where those that didn't die drank themselves to death. He was an explorer of forbidden pleasures. He opened the box and that was his final act of exploration and discovery.
Becoming Pinhead
Hell took him, placed nails in his head, and gave him no memory of his former life. He was now evil. He started off with Female, Butterball, and Chatterer. His job was to take whoever solved the box

He took Frank Cotton, and when Frank escaped, Pinhead couldn't resist Kirsty's deal and went along with it. He tried to get Kirsty as well, but that plan failed. Soon after, Pinhead and Kirsty met again and he helps her escape from Dr. Channard. After betraying Hell, Pinhead was defeated when Channard turned him into a human and killed him.As punishment for their betrayal, he and his cenobites were placed into a statue.
The statue was bought by a night club owner named J.P. Monroe. The statue came back to life after Monroe reached his hand into the broken part of the statue, when a rat living inside bit his hand.

In total silence, he closely watch and studied Monroe and read his thoughts and emotions. Soon after, Monroe invited a young woman to his den where they had intercourse, unknowing that Pinhead was watching the whole time. After Monroe was completely satisfied, the young woman observed his room and his paintings. The woman thinking that they had a relationship, angered Monroe and yelled at her to get out. Angry and reckless the woman stormed across his room to give him a piece of her mind but got to close to the statue, and Pinhead attacked her, consuming the woman's body.
He managed to bribe Monroe into giving him two bodies that will help him get out of the statue, and once he got out, he started killing people and creating his army of pseudo-cenobites.
