I know the wiki lists his species as "shapeshifting humanoid weapon", but that does not answer my question. I know he's supposed to be artifically created, but is he meant to be a robot/ai similar to the liquid metal terminator, or is he meant to be alive like some kind of clone? Nothing seems to answer whether he is meant to be a living thing or some kind of robot or anything. Anyone else have any clue?
