Description A Cenobite design from 8 years ago. Created in a single night to feature in a contest to come up with a fan treatment for Hellraiser IX, for fun. I came up with something that you can read below.

"HELLRAISER IX: THE FALL

A man in Victorian London, Merrit Whitman, finds the Lament Configuration on a gift shop and buys it, thinking it no more than an ornate trinket.

Pretty soon, his wild restrained morals find an escape as he solves it after one night of debauchery in the slums, and is taken to see sight beyond his wildest dreams, beyond space and time, accompanied by 2 Cenobites, Nusrat (male) and Maga (undefined) . He manages to barter for his life, offering one poor innocent soul he lures into his house, and manages to strike a deal with the cenobites, to work for them and spread Leviathan’s traps through the world, in any way he can. He is then initiated into the mysteries of Lemarchand’s work as architect and artisan, starts his own Publishing House and begins working on patterns and designs that have secret hidden meaning in them which might lead to a way to open the Schism for those visionary enough to see through the floral motifs and the geometric shapes.

He then creates a Society for the Preservation of Ancient Buildings. Lemarchand’s London houses are amongst the first works to be taken under its wing.

Of course, he is not the only one who knows about Lemarchand’s work and the hidden doors that lead to Leviathan’s Labyrinth of Pain. An Indian young man, called Vasuman (Born of Fire) knows of the dangers Merrit is unleashing into unsuspecting Londoners when he discovers that the Lament Configuration is in Merrit's possession.

Risking his own life, he breaks into Merrit Whitman’s house and finds him prepared to fight for it. They lock into battle, each pushing for the box, each focusing their desire and their hatred for each other, until blood is spilled and amidst the confusion, the Schism is opened as Merrit claims sole ownership of the box. Maga and Nusrat appear, and Merrit demands they dispatch Vasuman. The cenobites smiling, say it was Merrit’s desire which opened the box and that they are not his puppets to command, but his masters. He is quickly taken by hook and chain, and Vasuman manages to solve the box as the Cenobites are about to turn their attentions to him. He then sets the Press on fire, and leaves for India in the next available ship, Lament Configuration in hand, where a few of decades later, Elliott Spenser will find his new treasure."
