The thing is guys, the only reasonable counter-argument for the Hero of Kvatch not being the new Sheogorath is that Sheogorath could have very well have been watching the "Oblivion Crisis" the whole time. Even if he did he would not focus afterwards on the single aspect that is the Hero of Kvatch and follow him through the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild? It's not likely at all. It is then to be assumed that the DLC is canon to the story. If the player defeats Jyggalag then Jyggalag doesn't turn back into the Sheorgorath that we know in Oblivion again. Therefore the person that you are talking to in Skyrim is infact the Hero of Kvatch in Oblivion and has taken up the traits and personality of what Sheogorath is portrayed as. Don't try and completely disregard that fact purely based on being the god of "Madness"  because he does not return in Oblivion.
