I would treat the possession as a flaw that the player would have to overcome if they tried to act against it's goals. Depending on its value it could provide hours of fun for the narrator. The player will slowly have to figure out its goals. With lingering benefits and penalities related to outcomes, the character may have to start behaving in strange ways to accommodate the possession.
