Triangular-headed Butcher was a character in the game " Murder by Dawn." He was a benchmark in the Silent Hill series, and the Butcher in Resident Evil didn't have much of a presence. Butcher's strong point was that he was handsome and domineering. He looked like the triangular head of Silent Hill, and his damage output was extremely high, especially when his HP was low. However, he lacked the ability to recover and could not use his shield. He was easily restrained and afraid of being controlled. However, in the battle between the monthly boss and the guild boss, Butcher's damage output was still very high, and there was no need to worry about survival and control issues. All in all, Butcher was a hero with both advantages and disadvantages. However, in a suitable battle environment, he could display great strength.
It depends on which comic series you're referring to. Some might depict Butcher with cancer, while others might not. You'll need to look closely at the details of each comic.
