Development Clive Barker had no name for his Cenobite characters in the novella The Hellbound Heart, except for one called the Engineer. One of the Cenobites was described as having a head with a grid pattern and golden nails embedded in each vertex, each of which was decorated by a small jewel. When he adapted the story into the first Hellraiser film, Barker decided the Cenobite with nails in his head would act as the leader, referring to the character in early script drafts as "The Priest". The character was never named on-screen, however, and was simply referred to in the final credits as "Lead Cenobite". The film version had iron nails in his head rather than gold ones, and the production team nicknamed him "Pinhead". Fans learned of the nickname and adopted it, and the film franchise referred to him by the same name on-screen in multiple films, starting with Hellraiser III. Barker said on different occasions he didn't care for the name, believing it was undignified for such a well-spoken and sophisticated villain. In The Scarlet Gospels, Barker finally gave the Pinhead character an official name: the Hell Priest. In The Scarlet Gospels, it is mentioned the nails may have once been golden but have now darkened, making their appearance in prose now resemble their appearance in the films. The second and third Hellraiser films indicate Pinhead was originally a human being who died soon after World War I. The Scarlet Gospels narration mentions that different characters in-universe debate whether the Hell Priest is an immortal being who has lived for thousands of years or if different humans have adopted his nature and appearance over the centuries, meaning the origin presented in the film could also be canon within the books or could be dismissed. The novel had a long gestation period, with Barker talking as early as 1998 about wanting to write a story in which he killed the Pinhead character. Updates to the
