On the topic of what the Golems are, they're born from mutated seeds that have been "planted" into a cybernetically modified fresh human corpse. The body is recent so that the brain isn't completely destroyed, allowing the seed to use it as a means of gaining self-awareness and consciousness. The roots act as an pseudo nervous system and they react quickly to pain, responding by healing and regenerating very quickly.

Due to Wiseman losing control, Mathias made it a point to SEVERLY handicap the seed without sacrificing what makes it unique. That way the Golems could mature but not be overwhelmed.
