The Septim line actually had quite a few different races in it: mostly Imperials, but also a few Bretons, some Nords, a Redguard here and there, even a dark elf (Katariah) at one point. In the end, it can be said that Martin Septim is "mostly" Imperial. Redguard? Care to name an example? Not saying that's wrong, I just don't know an example.

But yeah, the Septim line is multi-ethnic. Pelagius III's mother was an Altmer, Cephorus II was a Nord, the book 'The Fall of The Usurper' hints a number of emperors were Bretons.
