Flagellum

Origin

Flagellum was not a virgin by choice. Sure, she had resolved to keep herself chaste for marriage, expecting the right guy to come along at some point. The right guy never came though. Constant rejection and her own building lust drove her to increasingly desperate fantasies of masturbation that demanded far more than simple battery-operated devices. Things like the Tantric Belt of Maithuna and the Yoni Clamp were good starts, but it was the Obsidian Rhombus Phallus that brought Flagellum to her first and last orgasm. It lived on rats and sewage, it killed her dog in a self-gratifying act of perversion, and after a full week of twisting her body into the proper position, the Phallus killed the fully sated Flagellum.

In death she became a Cenobite and now stands guard for her master Leviathan, dreaming of its beautiful structures of order, awakening only at the first signs of chaos, whereupon it falls unto her to rally the forces necessary to reinstate order and allow her to return to her lonely dreams once again.

Powers & Abilities

Like all Cenobites, Flagellum possesses great strength, a heightened resistance to damage, proficiency in the dark arts, and is virtually immortal. Flagellum has a particularly high pain tolerance due to the constant self-flagellation/mutilation her rituals require. She’s able to levitate under her own power, and can divine the future through anthropomancy – the art of divination through the casting and reading of entrails. She also has a form of mental link with Leviathan, allowing her to hear its commands and relay them to others.

Other Media

Flagellum has not yet appeared outside of the comic medium in any of the Hellraiser films.
