Backstory

By his teenage years, feeling awkward, Kroenen's masochism developed into an extreme form of body dysmorphic disorder (surgical addiction). In his obsession with physical purity and perfection, Kroenen conducted brutal experiments on his own body, including surgically removing his own eyelids, lips. and his nails, both from his toes and fingers. He also designed a tight-fitting gas mask to filter out germs, which he wore almost permanently. Kroenen was quite adept with mechanical devices, believing that fusing mechanical constructs with living bodies would help create perfection. One of his early inventions was a clockwork nightingale that sang a Mozart aria perfectly. In 1930, Kroenen met the resurrected Rasputin for the first time and quickly became his most loyal disciple. He subsequently joined the Nazi Party, and rose quickly through the ranks, joining the Schutzstaffel in 1933 and achieving the rank of Obersturmbannführer (Lieutenant Colonel). He also became Hitler's top assassin and was tasked with eliminating troublesome individuals both within the Nazi Party, and out. He was awarded the Iron Cross for services to the Third Reich, including a tour of duty as commandant of Auschwitz concentration camp, where he conducted horrific and grotesque experiments with his clockwork mechanical constructs on the living flesh of the prisoners in the pursuit of purity. When Kroenen became the head of the Thule Society, a group of German aristocrats obsessed with the occult, He used their resources and knowledge to spearhead Project Ragna Rok as its chief engineer, designing and constructing both the substitute "right hand of doom" gauntlet wielded by Rasputin and the portal generator that would conjure the Scarlet Beast, Hellboy, in October 1944. When Allied Forces stormed the island off the coast of Scotland where Project Ragna Rok took place, Kroenen killed several American soldiers attacking the base before a grenade was thrown under the portal device by a young Professor Trevor Bruttenholm. Kroenen tried to retrieve the grenade, but the explosion tore off his left hand and threw him backwards into a stone column, where he was impaled through the chest by a length of rebar. Kroenen reappeared in 2004. Thanks to the inexplicable powers of science and black magic, Kroenen "repaired" himself with a prosthetic mechanical hand, a steel rod replacing the broken part of his spine, and a clockwork heart operated by a wind-up key implanted in his chest. By cranking the key, he was able to increase his speed and reflexes. After long decades, the blood in his veins dried up completely, leaving only dust, and rendering him virtually invulnerable to gunshot wounds. He could also turn the key to "switch off" his body. Managing to infiltrate B.P.R.D. headquarters, he personally killed the now elderly Professor Bruttenholm. The BPRD tracked Rasputin to his mausoleum beneath Moscow. Hellboy seemingly avenged Bruttenholm's death by throwing Kroenen into a spike pit
