| I may be holding this to standards that include the words 'wicked sweet' and 'did you see the way he fucking cut off that guys head?' rather than methods of madness, intent, goals, ect. But regardless....
His name is Kroenen, seen last in HellBoy the movie (if you don't follow the comics).
Small compilation from said movie:

Quote:
Karl Ruprecht Kroenen was born in Munich, Germany in 1897. A musical prodigy with angelic features and blonde hair, young Kroenen toured the capitals of Europe singing opera until his voice deepened with the onset of puberty, thereby ending his career. From a very early age, he demonstrated symptoms of masochism, whipping himself with a fresh branch of oak each day, and finding pleasure in the pain.
As a teenager, he loathed his awkwardness and may have developed an extreme form of body dysmorphic disorder. He conducted a series of brutal experiments due to his surgical addiction, in which he surgically removed his own eyelids and lips. He later designed a tight-fitting gas mask to filter out germ and hide his disfigured face.

After Kroenen's disappearance, records were found of his experiments on fusing steel to bone. This is further evidence of Kroenen's philosophy that humanity’s future lay in the marriage of flesh and machine. In 1956, an unmarked grave in Romania was found. Dental records identified the remains as those of Kroenen. However, Kroenen reappeared in 2004.
Using a mixture of occult magic and clockwork, Kroenen created a prosthetic heart and left hand. By cranking the key-like mechanism where his heart should be, he effectively was able to wind up his wrists, allowing him to wield his tonfa swords with superhuman skill and precision. He could also turn the key to "switch off" his body (literally), remaining in a dormant state and appearing dead

He is pretty much a clock-work assassin with a tight-black leather trench-coat and a wicked cool mask. Also a nazi. He looks rad with a luger and INSANE with the tonfa swords. He may fall under the lackey category, but as far as bad-guys go; this one did it for me.
I want his clothes.
