Me again guys, update on the Oblivion clone ordeal if anyone remembers it.
The circumstances surrounding my corrupted clone in Oblivion are simply puzzling me to no end.
Long story short, I had this big climactic battle with a permanent Corrupted Clone of my Oblivion character, who I dubbed "Nickies Black." Since he has 100% Resist or Reflect basically all forms of damage, the only way I thought I could kill him was by throwing him into the void at Arkved's Tower (ironically, the place where I first got the Skull of Corruption needed to create the clone). After a few attempts, I finally dropped him in. He died; he must've. I watched his health bar vanish, and combat music ended.
Fast forward about two weeks, during which I spent my Oblivion playtime running out of the map and such. Eventually I decide to fast travel back to the void (on an alt save as not to lose my progress running out of the map), to Arkved's Tower since that's where my last map marker still was. I figured, ah, what the hell, I'll go check out the Void zone again. I blaze through the dungeon and get to the zone in question.
I walked in and thought "Huh, I don't remember going into 3rd person." I press the right stick to switch cameras, but only then do I really go into 3rd person. I was staring straight at the clone, alive.
Here's a clip showing what I mean:

Hopefully from the way I was playing you can see that I was NOT expecting to see him again.
To make things weirder, I took a screenshot of that moment, and my character has this weird dumb smile on his face. Pic related.
Can someone who knows a lot about Oblivion help explain? I thought I knew a lot about this game but I'm dumbfounded. If the void couldn't permanently kill him, what could?
