I doubt I will be that good in competitive mmo like that. I hadn't looked at timeline that closely, but it seems that the events of the Elder Scrolls Online is the point when the destiny of Talos was decided, to be the one who claims the Dragon Throne as Tiber Septim and unifies Tamriel under one rule. Indeed, TES: Online does take place in the time just before General Talos ( or Tiber Septim, check the lore at http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Tiber_Septim ) ascended to the throne and founded the Third Empire Empire, bringing and end to the Second Era.

As for the avalability for one of the many names of the famed hero Emperor (or other characters/gods of fame for that matter), the developers just might deside to prevent players from choosing them at character creation; It has happened before in other MMO games.
