Or it's just another Wraith Construct, albeit one powered by the raw psychic energy of an entire Craftworld being funnelled into it, rather than a handful of soul stones. Translating Eldar into High Gothic is never without it's quirks; someone saying that the Avatar Statue "is" Khaine could be almost any kind of mistranslation or metaphor, or some obscure xenos parable that humanity isn't fully aware of.

Or like the Emperor.
Debatable. Is the Emperor 100%, completely and totally dead and the Golden Throne is doing all the work? Is his physical body still hanging in there, a few cells left to anchor his consciousness there? Is his body dead but his soul still intact, as much imprisoned by the Throne as sustained by it? Or something else? Each has different implications, and we'll likely never know which it is.

Except the C'Tan isnt sleeping.. they seems to be pretty restless in general.
The actual C'Tan ate stars and wiped out civilisations wholesale; they are absolutely dormant and all we're seeing now are tiny pieces of them broken off, like a daemon being a tiny part of the God.

If the "adult" C'Tan were awaken, without the Old Ones to oppose them, it'd be as big and destructive as a new Hive Fleet awakening in any segmentum you cared to choose.

Or like a Titan!
Not really. Being wired into a Titan isn't instantly fatal, and Moderati are definitely capable of rational, non-war related conversation. Some of them, in smaller titans, can even be unplugged, and when they do die in their machine they leave a body behind. Whatever the Avatar does to the Young King is strictly mystical, rather than technological; even the Eldar admit that they don't know what actually happens in the throne room when it all goes down.
