Prepare for a very long response.

I want to clear up something before I get started with my theories. The year gap between Morrowind and Oblivion is only 6 years (4 if you include the DLC). Some people were saying it was 40 years and others were saying it was 20. (I spent all night reading this entire thread cause I couldn't sleep.)

I'll start with the Nerevarine. He is not connected to any of the other heroes because he is the incarnation of Indoril Nerevar.

Next the Dragonborn. It's impossible for the Hero of Kvatch to be Dragonborn because he is unable to put on the Amulet of Kings (which can only be worn by Dragonborn or those with Dragonblood.) It's possible that the Eternal Champion or the Hero of Daggerfall could be Dragonborn, but I'll get to them in a moment.

The Hero of Kvatch didn't necessarily become Sheo. As much as I would love for that to be canon, it's entirely possible that the whole thing was just a hallucination caused by Sheo or possible a separate hero become Sheo who wasn't the Hero of Kvatch. The DLC descrition even says you can play as your current hero or start a new character (something like that)

On to Arena and Daggerfall. I strongly believe that these two are the same guy. At the end of Daggerfall, the Hero dies. So unless he either was reincarnated later on or one of the alternate timelines follow.

Now here is where my theories start to get a bit on the crazy side, mind you I was up all night thinking about these. Throughout this whole thread people talk as though time is linear and that time affects the heroes just like everyone else. What if it isn't? What if the heroes are champions of Akatosh or something else, not bound by time? Let me explain:

The Hero of Kvatch starts off in a prison cell that no one should be in. No one knows why the heck he is even there. It's possible that he just appeared in that cell right before the Emperor and the Blades walk up to the cell. The Hero finishes his business in Cyrodill, either becoming Sheo or not, and then is ripped out of time and thrown into a different prison cell. It's possible that he is then thrown into the first game about 34 years earlier. He then goes through the events of Arena and Daggerfall and dies at the end of Daggerfall. Now the Hero of Kvatch started out in the prison cell as though he had just been placed their by th Gods (I think the Emperor actually says this) which could mean he has  been sent from another time (possibly TES 6 or later). The Dragonborn and Nerevarine are ruled out of this because of the nature of their characters. It could also be possible that the Hero first went to the Shivering Isles and become Sheo and then later was ripped out of time and placed back into the cell to start the main quest.

My other theory is that Sheo is just pulling the strings with every single hero.

I also heard someone say they think Sithis might be pulling the strings, but wouldn't Sithis want Dagon to win? He wants Mundus to become a part of Oblivion like it should be after all.

Okay I'm done, feel free to tear my theories to pieces.
