-How much of Indigo's thoughts and personality remains with Aubergine?
Aubergine remains to have a fatherly personality even after death, or rather, in a different form. Especially he is still supportive to his child. There are little differences toward Indigo and Aubergine personality wise, other than Aubergine is more playful and enjoys to prank people than Indigo does.
-What did Maxwell do for Aubergine to reach the state he's in now?
Maxwell has an interest about "researching and experimenting souls", but there was a conflict between them. I was thinking Maxwell had to ask Indigo to "assist" her with an experiment she is working on but actually she is going to turn his back against him. A chance to get rid of Indigo by giving the most cruel experiments she has done.
-How does Aubergine react when he hears about the deal Iowa made?
Considering Maxwell was Aubergine... or Indigo's lab partner who don't get along since they have worked together, I am thinking he will be disappointed for dealing with someone who backstabbed and "experimented" him in the past.
-Is Aubergine aware of the condition he's in?
Possibly, he maybe aware that he became a ghost that produce poisonous substances and gas thanks to what Maxwell did to him. Most of his former self? Possibly not, besides looking for his child.
