Name: Nicholas Morrison (Mandible)
Age: appears 19, likely older.
Gender: Male
Breed: Cenobite
Appearance: Standing relatively tall, his skin is pale, nearly white from lack of sun. His eyes are liquid black, possesssing neither iris nor white. Unlike most cenobites, he does have hair, though it is only along the center of his head and leads down his back in a long braid woven tightly with barbed wire.
-Height: 6'0"
-Weight: Unknown
-Eye color: Black
-Hair color: Black
-Clothes: Mandible's lower half is bound in a wild series of black bandages beneath a dark gray pair of leather-layered slacks. Lacking a shirt, he keeps his upper half covered in a studded multi-tailed black trench coat (Think "Vash the Stampede") that he also leaves unsnapped most of the time.
Weapons: Chains (see Powers)
Powers:
Personality: Unnaturally calm even in the most chaotic of situations, Nicholas Morrison bears the air of many cenobites; remaining aloof and possessing a strange manner of speech as though he originated on a higher plane of existence. Curiously, he also has a strange obsession with Rubix Cubes.
History:
After Lost Soul -feared dead by his wife- surfaced as Sinner, the one-time mercenary known as Necromantic found herself walking a fine line between good and evil. Her longing to stay at her husband's side was pitted against an iron-willed recognition that he was an irredeemable evil. Her operations sank into secrecy, supplying information to both humans and vampires with neither side knowing she was informing the other. Guilt at being pulled in both directions and the added stress of losing her only son, Hannibal, eventually led her to attempt suicide through a sudden horrific act of self mutilation that she prayed would be too violent for her healing factor to compensate.
However the act was cut short. Having stolen several sorcerous relics of a vampire occult mystic for the act; Stephanie Morisson was startled to see a fist-sized black and gold cube in the box of stolen goods. Studying it, she was puzzled when something inside it clicked, and gasped as a thick, blood-soaked chain erupted in a blast of choking smoke from the side of it, driving itself between her breasts and ripping out between her shoulder blades, pulverizing her upper spine. Literally paralyzed, she watched as figures began moving within the smoke around her.
Stephanie Morrison had awoken the Cenobites.
At that point; rather than attempting any kind of fighting or escaping; she gave herself to their way of life with the realization that a life in Hell was better than her now-forced existance on Earth. To say a willing servant was a surprise to the Daemonic Angels was an understatement. Initially, they seemed ecstatic that one could truly embrace pain as a from of pleasure and never distinquish between the two.
Sadly, that joy was short lived.
Neromantic, or "Fetish" as she became known among them, posessed two things that did not bode well with the lead Cenobite himself nor any of the others, especially the surgeons and engineers. Her healing factor was one obstacle, as her body would heal out and erase any of the quasi-ritualistic mutilations that marked the other Cenobites for what they were. However the pinhead's prime reason for disliking her was her still-human compassion for others. He reasoned that upon facing death or agony; the moment should be that which is embraced. His views violently clashed with her on several occasions -one of which involved her using some measure of forbidden Cenobite power to allow the Chatterer his sense of hearing- and reached a peak after Fetish herself stepped between the cenobites and their unwiling victims, saving the lives of two humans. At that point, as far as the Lead Cenobite was concerned, she was less than the most wretched soul in Hell, and for all he cared, she could join those damned.
Skinned with acid-stained blades, Necromantic's flayed naked and body was cast back into her own time and place in Earth to suffer the rest of her life without hope or an ally. The machinations of Leviathan made sure anyone connected with her believed her dead. Perhaps Stephanie might have stayed as she was then; a shivering wretch and lost cause. Yet her rationales and gifts saved her in the end, as she was lifted from her Hell-spawned pit of desolation by the leather-covered hand of Pinhead's lieutenant; The Chatterer. Under pretense of an army buildup on the Engineer's behalf, the macabre-jawed Cenobite was able to keep Necromantic hidden from the other Cenobites and over time, she came to respect the young man who had very nearly betrayed his own kind to save her.
A year later; Necromantic brough Nicholas Morrison into the world, and very nearly ruined her life again.
The birth and awakening of the newborn Cenobite triggered a cataclysm that rocked Hell's expanse, and instantly resulted in Pinhead furiously ordering the Engineer to mask off The Chatterer's entire face and stitch his second-in-command's arms to his side. Dispatching a pair of the twins; Pinhead used their seduction in the city's underworld and quickly located Necromantic. Bringing the near-dead Chatterer with him as an example, the Lead Cenobite made to slaughter Stephanie Morisson's hellspawned lover while the stitch and bound ones forcefully took the child from its mothers arms.
It was a mistake.
Whether it was his mother's cries, his father's muffled wheezes of pain, or a sensation of the Cenobites' intentions, Nicholas' reasons for sprouting a row of jaws along his tiny hands and shredding his captors' faces are unknown to this day. Throwing off The Female's guard and doubling the out-of-shape Pinhead over with a rapid succesion of kicks, Necromantic retrieved her son and moved quickly to save the Chatterer. For the second time in an hour; Nicholas grappled at his father's face, almost as though to tear the wire-bound skin covering, which his finger-jaws actually succeeded in, freeing his father's eyes and jaws and eventually allowing them to escape.
Years later, the son of the Chatterer has undertaken a somewhat bold task. Shouldering his reminders that he is a Cenobite of Hell, and by all rights a minion of evil; he undertakes a dangerous line between his personal morality and the mandate of Leviathan.

Weapons: Chains (see Powers)
Powers:
- Chains. Like most high-ranking hellspawned; Mandible has the ability to telekinetically summon/control hooked metal chains whose direction and speed are at his sole discretion. They typically burst from the shadows and corners; place where light does not shine.
- Mouthspawn. His own unique ability is the macabre power to cause his skin to rip open in nearly any spot he wishes; causing a fanged mouth to appear in that area. The jaws are capable of chewing through just about anything and can melt back to normal skin at Mandible's will.
- Curiously, if his body is destroyed he does not die, but rather re-manifests in the underworld where he remains until enough blood to sustain a human body is spilled in one single area.
- In addition, he seems to possess a total immunity to all kinds of fire, likely due to his engineering and experience of his predecessors.
