He is what you'd call a Biological Robot. He's alive but only interacts when controlled by his handlers via an earpiece and an installed Atrial
Defibrillator.
That was the other possibility I was thinking about, but you are contradicting yourself here. Someone that's alive, is not a robot.
Biological robot is biological, but not alive. The soul is what makes someone alive, a robot doesn't (usually) have a soul. (Of course there are
(bodily) electricity-based beings, too, although we're (bodily) water-based beings - in other words, a soul is just energy, and can easily incarnate
into all sorts of bodies as long as the body supports the soul-astralbody-ethericbody-chakra-meridian-silvercord-system)
So, if we're talking about a robot, you shouldn't use a word like 'alive', because it's not really a 'biological robot' if there's a soul incarnated
into the body, now, is it? And without a soul, what is alive? Just because something is biological, doesn't mean it's alive. Life = energy, human life
= sentient energy.
Biological robots exist, but then, clones exist, too - and I am not 100% sure as to what the real difference is between a clone and a biological
robot, except that the robot doesn't need to have a resemblance, or any need to be based on someone actual individual's DNA.
A clone could technically have a soul, as it's a perfectly operatable human body, but a robot usually has some kind of programming that replaces the
need to have a soul incarnated, and robot doesn't have to support a soul-astralbody-ethericbody-chakra-meridian-silvercord-system.
Then there's of course the 'electricity-based bodies' that can be incarnated into, that would -look- and seem like robots, perhaps made of metals and
plastics superficially speaking, but which have actual souls incarnated in them.
These things get confusing the more you think about them... but there's definitely something 'non-human' about the particular humanoid we're talking
about.
For all intents and purposes, if anyone remembers the old 'Carter clone' threads about running that marathon and all, all this really reminds me of
similar sort of 'malfunctioning clone'.
At least we can all probably agree that the entity in question gives off a perfect impression of 'malfunctioning SOMETHING', can't we?
