Balberith

Balberith is a demonic entity from the infernal realms of Clive Barker's Hellraiser mythology, inhabiting the same nightmarish hierarchy as Pinhead and the Cenobites, serving as one of the dark figures that populate Hell's twisted order.

Emerging from the darkest corners of Clive Barker's infernal mythology, Balberith made their debut in Clive Barker's Hellraiser #7 in 1991, brought to terrifying life by the creative pairing of Nicholas Vince and John Bolton. A creature of the Copper/Modern Age, this figure haunts a trio of Marvel's most unsettling Barker-licensed titles — Hellraiser, Pinhead, and the lore-rich Book of the Damned companion — sharing those hellish pages with the likes of Pinhead and Elliott Spencer. With 13 catalogued appearances across a run that burned bright from 1991 to 1994, Balberith is exactly the kind of deep-cut denizen that rewards fans who venture beyond the obvious into the rich, strange margins of Barker's comic book universe.
