cenobite

A new or recent member of a Greek monastic religious order; a caloyer.

Lamprecht knew very well how the war was going and was perfunctory in his rounding up of Jews and cenobites.

A monk who lives in a religious community, rather than in solitude.

To deprive a gregarious creature of companionship is to maim it, to outrage its nature. The prisoner and the cenobite are aware that the herd exists beyond their exile; they are an aspect of it. But when the herd no longer exists, there is, for the herd creature, no longer entity. He is a part of no whole, a freak without a place.

A torturous demon creature made famous by the Hellraiser series.
