The only figure Barker pays much lip service to is the leader of the group, who've come to take Larry to their realm. Barker is surprisingly vague in describing the Cenobites in great detail. In in the original text, the Cenobites are unnamed and are described as asexual beings who have been marred and modified so horribly, they bear little resemblance to the human form. Of course, Frank gets more than what he bargained for and is shown a world of terror, humiliation and torture. Frank utilizes a puzzle box known as the Lemarchand Configuration, to open a portal to an extra-dimensional realm where the Cenobites reside in the hopes to experience the greatest sensual stimulant possible. The book tells the story of a hedonistic creep by the name of Frank Cotton, who is constantly looking for the next level of sensual exploration, no matter how depraved. The Cenobites first appeared in Clive Barker's 1986 novella The Hellbound Heart.
