This half-man, half-gorilla thug was indeed weaker than he was. Jake could on paper thrash him with one arm, but that was notwithstanding his Spirit Body lvl.
The Soul and Spirit Body as defined by the Oracle System did not exist in ordinary creatures nor in those from worlds with low Aether density. For these living beings, consciousness and spirituality were not dissociable from their neural network.
When they died, their residual brain electrical activity was what was called Proto-Soul, but this energy was insignificant and would dissipate very quickly into the environment. For the Oracle, the notion of an eternal soul or life after death simply did not exist in lower worlds.
