What made him emperor was the same that made all the others, the lighting of the Dragon Fires. This ritual made them emperors Dragonborn. Jury is still out on whether or not they could thu'um and absorb souls. The most likely answer is no, as they are not Ysmir. That is so wrong i got brain cancer:

1. Uriel and tiber are not direct related but he had dragon blood as he could wear the amulet of kings

2. The lighting of the dragonfires dont make you emperor neither dragon born

3. Ysmir is nord hero
