Elliot Spencer or "The Cenobite", also known as "Pinhead", is one of 28 Killers 
currently featured in Dead by Daylight 
.
He was introduced as the Killer of CHAPTER 21: Hellraiser™, a Chapter DLC released on 7 September 2021.
He originates from the 1987 Horror Movie franchise, Hellraiser.
Overview
The Cenobite is a summoning Killer, able to possess Chain Projectiles and use the Lament Configuration to torture every Survivor at once.
His personal Perks, Deadlock 
, Hex: Plaything 
, and Scourge Hook: Gift of Pain 
, allow him to slow Generator Progression and continue to torment Survivors who have experienced his sweet suffering.
Difficulty Rating: Very Hard
(These Killers require a high amount of practice and understanding, inexperienced Players are likely to find little success when using them)
Lore
A demon to some, an angel to others. Pinhead is an explorer in the further regions of experience, indulging in the limitless thrill of pleasure and pain. When the puzzle box known as the Lament Configuration — a key to another dimension — was found in The Entity's Realm, it was only a matter of time before it fell into curious hands. Once opened, he arrived. What came next was sweet suffering that spilled over the Realm.

Unique Perks
The Cenobite comes with 3 Perks 
that are unique to him:
|
Deadlock | |
|---|---|---|
|
|
Hex: Plaything | A Hex that toys with a victim's suffering.
If there is at least one Dull Totem
The Hex effects persist as long as the related Hex Totem |
|
|
Scourge Hook: Gift of Pain | You are the bringer of sweet pain.
At the start of the Trial, 4 random Hooks are changed into Scourge Hooks:
Each time a Survivor is unhooked from a Scourge Hook, the following effects apply:
|
Teachable Perks
Progressing through The Cenobite's Bloodweb 
will spawn their Teachable Variant at specific Levels:
Obtaining the Teachable Perks will unlock them to spawn in the Bloodwebs of all other Killers.
Weapon: Hook & Chain
The Hook & Chain are the Primary Weapon of The Cenobite.
He wields them with thrill.
Power: Summons of Pain
|
An extradimensional gateway that leads to pleasure and pain so great it will tear your soul apart. | 
|
SUMMONS OF PAIN: 
Press the Power button to create a gateway and release the button to open it.
Once opened, tap the Ability button to summon forth a possessed Chain under your control.
Possessed Chain: 
Directing a Possessed Chain into a Survivor will bind them with an uncontrolled Chain.
Chains:
A Survivor bound with a regular Chain is unable to sprint, suffers from the Incapacitated 
Status Effect, and cannot leave through the Exit Gate 
.
If the Chain is not broken, a second and eventually a third Chain will appear and bind them as well, each applying a stack-able Movement Speed penalty to the Survivor.
Breaking Chains: 
Bound Survivors can perform the Break Free action to break free from the Chains.
Each Chain needs to be broken separately.
If the bound Survivor brings any environmental object between them and a Chain's Gateway, the Chain will break immediately.
However, this action causes a replacement Chain to spawn and attempt to rebind the Survivor.
If other Survivors, or The Cenobite himself, walk through a Chain, the Chain will also break immediately, without spawning a replacement Chain.
Lament Configuration: 
Upon starting the Trial, the Lament Configuration spawns in a random location in the Trial Grounds, and does so after each time it has been interacted with.
Survivors can see the Aura 
of the Lament Configuration, which is white when idle and yellow during an on-going Chain Hunt.
Any Survivor can pick-up the Lament Configuration and carry it with them, but not without experiencing some suffering.
- The Survivor suffers permanently from the Oblivious
Status Effect. - The Survivor is intermittently attacked with Chains summoned by the Lament Configuration.
The Lament Configuration cannot be dropped, it must be solved to remove it from their possession.
Solving the Lament Configuration will indicate the Survivor's location to the The Cenobite through Killer Instinct.
Teleport: 
While the Lament Configuration is being solved, The Cenobite can choose to teleport to that Survivor's location.
This causes the Lament Configuration to open and bind the Survivor with three small Chains while The Cenobite completes the teleportation.
Chain Hunt:
If left to its own devices, the Lament Configuration eventually initiates a Chain Hunt.
During a Chain Hunt, the Lament Configuration continuously summons Chains that pursue and attempt to bind every Survivor, until any Survivor picks up the Lament Configuration, which ends the Chain Hunt.
The Cenobite can pick up the Lament Configuration himself, which will immediately start a Chain Hunt.
Additionally, all Survivors are instantly bound by Chains, causing them to scream and reveal their respective locations.
Power Audio

|---|---|---|
| Lament Configuration Spawn Cue | Plays whenever the Lament Configuration respawns. Also plays on the first spawn. | |
| Lament Configuration Escape | Plays after a Survivor escapes with the Lament Configuration. This prevents the box from respawning for the remainder of the Endgame Collapse  .
