Appearance[]

Personality[]
History[]
In life, Orno was a man of science who was tempted by the Lament Configuration and sought the mathematical gateway to Hell. Upon his arrival, Orno was transformed into a Cenobite, and charged with creating new gateways, being provided "Raw Material" by Leviathan in the form of the denizens of Hell in order to do so.
By exposing his own brain to create a new Puzzle Box in the model of the human mazes of the mind, Orno imbues the Raw Material with his essence and sends it to Earth to reproduce with a human. Encountering a prostitute, the Raw Material impregnates her and committing suicide by running in front of oncoming traffic shortly thereafter, having fulfilled its purpose by delivering Orno's genetic material. The prostitute then gives birth 9 months later, to young Ian Miller, and dies in childbirth. Sixteen years later, on the day of Ian's 16th birthday, Orno sends his son his corresponding Puzzle Box, with Ian becoming its Guardian.
