The clones in the Coil storyline also serve a very different purpose from combat.I know that.
I'm not exactly saying "don't do it," but I am saying consider the why Allagans would create something like what you want your character to be.
I was thinking about an Allagan manikin creator who grew fond of one of his creations and gave it a face and a mind, making it sentient, and keeping it for himself.
Alternatively, you could take the 'subterfuge' angle. Android spies created specifically to guise as humans, have programmable personalities, and through a neuro-link connection, they'd be a semi-unwitting, or completely unwitting host for another person in the Allagan empire to spy on their rivals to the throne or advancement up the social/corporate/military ladder or some such. I could see a ruthless conquering nation like ancient Allag having a tad bit of infighting. Garlemald certainly had it's civil war for a time while it's leaders were clamoring for the throne. And they are, if anything a modern analog to the ancient Allagan empire.
