    I thought it was more alluding to the secret that the Mentallic leader pulled out of his memories. We hear that he’s ashamed of something and not as perfect a man as everyone thinks he is and only find out what happened as his “dying” thought.

    Plays well with Salvor theorizing that he was brought back to life to have some flesh in the game and him debating killing himself with the scientist during the stampede but deciding not to. He had a reason to live (and kill) before, so why not now?

      And Tellem knows all this now, which she would not have done had he gone there as a hologram.

      Which suggests that whoever gave him a body knew this and did so exactly because it was the only way to win over the Mentalics.
