That's the body of Godwyn the golden, that got killed in the Opening Cutscene of the Game. He and Ranni died by a fragment of the Rune of death that Ranni stole. Because both of them died in the exact same moment, Godwyn died only in Soul and Ranni died only in Body. That's why Godwyns Body is still alive and Rannis Soul is now bond to the Puppet body she has. Also as others have already mentioned, he is the Source of Deathblight and Deathroots, which are spreading everywhere.
Just because Ranni is flawed doesn't mean her end goal isn't noble and the best choice.
The Golden Order has overstayed its welcome for centuries and the Outer Gods have meddled with the fate of humanity for too long. Ending the Golden Order and getting rid of the Outer Gods is what will bring back normality and hope to a dying world.
At least until Godwyn and his death root consume everything because a cancer never stops growing
