Another of Apocalypse's Horsemen from the comics appears in the film in the shape of bald weirdo Caliban, who likes to refer to himself in the third person.

Him being a blackmarket fixer of sorts actually fits with his powers in the comics. He's a sympathetic mutant (in that he channels other people's emotions and uses them against them) and can sense and track other mutants. Hence why he "knows" mutants - his mutation mirroring the underground network of the black market.
