It can be argued that all the heroes were shezzarine and also that none of them were. It'd be nice to have a definitive yes. Lorkhan? Sorry, I think you mean Shor. Don't listen to the lies of Altmer culture. Lorkhan & Shor are entirely separate deities. This much can be easily inferred from in-game events in TES5: Skyrim.

Shor's mien is invisible to the living. The dead walking the Hall of Valor in Sovngarde state this; thus confirming that Shor is still alive and active.

Kinda renders the whole "Shor = Lorkhan" fanon to be totally obsolete. It's possible that it's like the Alduin-Akatosh relationship, where worship has created two distinct deities from the same godhead. It's also entirely possible that Shor and Lorkhan are two names associated to the same being. One, the quote wasn't that he's invisible to the living, it's that his appearence is too bright for living mortals to view. Perhaps the gooey blobs of jelly lodged in your skull are simply inadequate for the job of interpreting a true divine form? Two, being invisible to the living doesn't mean he's living. Being visible has no impact on whether the subject in question is deceased or not. There's a problem with the Shor being alive and active thing as Nordic legends distinctly state that he's dead hence why Kyne is Shor's Widow.
