Yeah, but he isn't totally there. He's transparent and can most likely only appear for a short time. The CoC always took the Sigil Stones from these pocket realms which, I think, made them unstable and ported anything which isn't daedric back to Nirn. I didn't read the novels, so I don't know how Attrebus and Sul did that.

I don't think Clavicus would say something like that as an insult to the Dragonborn. He doesn't have a reason to. Sure, he could just be insulting the LDB for the lulz, but he says that he's in that moment as powerful as the LDB, a (special) mortal. This would insult him rather than the LDB.
