Talos is very different. All three of the mortals that became Talos were Shezarrine. Shezarrines are shards of Lorkhan. Talos mantled Lorkhan. So basically a god became mortal and returned to heaven.

What the CoC did in becoming Sheogorath is a very different thing. School up and read my links from before. The CoC did become Sheogorath, but it's more like he is keeping the seat warm. He's the King of Sovereign Isles and eventually Jyggylag will return and a new King will take over.
