    He directly felt Nidhogg's rage and grief at Ratatoskr's death, and so he himself grieves for Ratatoskr at a personal intensity, and it is at least implied if not stated that he "thinks like a dragon" to some degree now - not because Nidhogg made him do it but because it was a natural outcome of being so deeply exposed to Nidhogg's soul.

    I don't have references for in-game quotes, but the side story From Azure Ashes covers the core of it.
    Right, and I'd put that in with "experiences" rather than any "aetheric influence". The man hosted the angry shade of a great dragon for the better part of three patches (however long that is), he remembers those feelings as if they were his, because they were, for a while. And when you feel as deep as Nidhogg did, feelings they don't go away that quickly, if ever. The feelings "lingering" is normal, as normal as being possessed can be.

    Basically he gained empathy for the plight of the dragons after being Nidhogged up for a while, rather than being mind controlled. His personality is intact.

    Traumatic memory induced brainwashing then.
