Hellboy

I rented it recently. I give it a B+. One thing in the movie that grabbed me was a verbal description of the character Kroenen, who appears to be a kind of biker/zombie/ninja guy. He can apparently shut himself down, like an automaton. He does this to infiltrate the FBI's paranormal headquarters, where his body is examined. Professor Brettenholm speaks as he examines:

"Karl Ruprect Kroenen was born in Munich in 1897. Kroenen suffered from a masochistic compulsion commonly known as surgical addiction and extended his life through mechanical means, turning himself into a clockwork monster in the process. Both eyelids (have been) surgically removed, along with his upper and lower lip."

Does this sound like anyone we know?
