I have a character who dies/is betrayed and killed in battle by someone he thought was a close ally. However, due to other forces he ends up dying but coming back as something called a siigradur (silver one). His only memory is the last few minutes of the betrayal, he wakes to find battle field raiders picking over his corpse for coin and so on and they immediately try to kill him. Silvers are not too dissimilar to vampires, they are difficult to kill, they usually are classifiable as "dead" their soul or personality remains but they have a sharp increase of predatory urges and skills to match and in this case a lot of that aggression would be human directed since his only memory is of his murder.
This character is alone for a long time left with faint memories he cannot reach echoes of a former life that he can't access and finding himself suddenly in a form that is incredibly aggressive and instinctive.
Question is how to show his internal struggles with this. There are instances where for example he encounters someone he knew and knows not to harm her. Sort of a he knows her but does not remember her and also doesn't want to be seen as what he became.
