Chatterer

The Chatterer, or Chatterer Cenobite, is a fictional demon featured in the Hellraiser film series by New Line Cinema. There have been two different versions of this character, both of whom were played by actor Nicholas Vince. The first Chatterer appeared in the original 1987 film Hellraiser. The second appeared in the first sequel, Hellbound: Hellraiser II.

Overview
Little is known about the Chatterer save that he is one of the demonic beings known as a Cenobite. He was once a mortal human male who, through reasons unknown, was consigned to Hell, and transmogrified into the Chatterer by the Engineer. The Chatterer is tall, lean and bald and wears black leather attire. He has pronounced teeth, which are always clacking together, hence his nickname. The Chatterer is the only one amongst the original Cenobite who does not speak.
