He has 40% resistance to fire, frost, and shock, so I bet they wanted to complete the cycle by making him resist poison, too. Nothing lore-related.

I really, really doubt that. Bethesda would have given him a Poison Resistance ring or amulet if they simply wanted him to have resistance against poison.
