 * "He claims he was a mighty king, of what?"


 * Serana confirmed within her first dialogue that their existence pre-dated even the Imperial Legion. Within that time and even further back, there is absolutely no telling where they originated from, or how big of a name he was as a king. All we do know is that Harkon was housed within the same castle at the time of Serana being hidden away. Whether or not that castle is Harkon's only? Who knows? Whether books were made about his reign? Who knows? As I said, he might not have even originated from Cyrodill or Skyrim, so books over him might be rarer or even unheard of outside of the Imperial Library/College of Winterhold, etc.


 * "He also said he "sacraficed thousands in order to get turned by Molag Bal" ."


 * I once again refer you to the fact that Serana has confirmed their existence pre-dating the Imperial Legion, meaning that their existence has been quite long and extensive. As for how he sacrificed thousands of victims, you have to remember that there are numerous races amongst Nirn, meaning that there's never a shortage of people running around. Yeah, such a large number of people disappearing would more than likely be noticed. But as a king, it's entirely possible that he led a campaign against a certain race, allowing him all of the sacrifices that he needed in the form of war prisoners. But, again, we don't know, as him becoming a son of ColdHarbour was a long long long long long time before the events of TES: Skyrim.
