I don't really get the feeling that he has killed before this film's events.
Channard killed Tiffany's mom so that he could have Tiffany committed and use her for solving the puzzle box. There's also a quick flashback scene of a young Channard crouching by what looks like a cat splayed out on the ground. The other Cenobites seem to be people who were relatively normal at one point but who had a dark facet to their personalities which made them candidates for becoming cenobites ( speculation based on their decision to "help" Kirsty ). They also forgot, whether through time or the process, who they were ( seems more like the latter as Pinhead isn't that old really ). The best evidence for Channard being evil is that he goes through all of the torture/etc without losing himself. All that becoming a Cenobite does for Channard is amplify his sadistic desires and gives him the tools to more effectively carry them out.
As for the OP, I definitely agree that Channard was an interesting character, I think they should've focused on him a bit more in this film before the 2nd half where they travel to the labyrinth.

I used to think it was an animal that Channard had killed, but I believe it's actually a woman, maybe a nurse, that he's dissecting.
