Who is the man in the chair in the opening credits to Skyfall?

In the opening credits to Skyfall, about halfway through, after the Chinese dragon spits fire into the screen, images of a man sitting in a chair shaking his head from side to side violently shoot at the screen, ending with a closeup of his face, a tear rolling down his face (I think). Just so you can see it for yourselves, it occurs between 2:20 and 2:27 in the video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4gdhsVKTcs
My question is a pretty obvious one, who is this guy, and why is he crying? (I think he's crying)
Just out of interest, I would also like to know if anyone else has noticed this odd image in the opening credits too.

I remember seeing that image and interpreted it as Silva, in Hong Kong, where he was left by M and tortured. That's just my opinion though.

That's who I thought it was suppsoed to represent too. However we could both be totally wrong.

Agent Purple

I guess it's some guy being tortured.

Who it was, I dunno.

That whole opening sequence was disappointing. I would have preferred they use the sequence to show elements of Bond's childhood, which would have filled in a lot of blanks.
