Let me just say you do NOT want to see what's underneath his armor. it's not pretty.

Basically, his aura has prevented is body from decaying over the centuries, so it effectively mumified as all of the moisture slowly evaporated, while regular movement prevented the joints from locking up as would normally occur during mummification. his muscles and tendons stopped working a pretty long time ago, so his aura is required to push his body around. technically speaking, he actually moves the armor and not the body, the body is just inside armor to protect it from being destroyed, since if the body is destroyed his soul would lose its anchor and he would no longer be able to regenerate aura, causing him to fade away after awhile.
