Go with the aura, but remove Grim Servant o' Death.

He's a renegade automaton - maybe he likes flowers.  With Grim Servant of
Death, he would never be eligible for the job of Town Defender.

Maybe it's cliche, but I like the story of the Frankenstein befriending a
town/tribe/group of child survivors and becoming their protector for a
couple of years.

Let the automaton know true happiness and acceptance.

Then yank it from him.

Angst - it's not for goths any more.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Picard: 
Dammit, that's not for us to answer! It's his fundamental right as a
sentient being to determine the time and manner by which he travels towards
his goals!
