(Nobody else seemed to mention this) They never actually state his race, but I always assumed he was a Breton who moved to Skyrim and assumed a Nord name when he joined the military. However, you're right, he may have been the last surviving Atmoran for all we know. His title as "Talos of Atmora" has little to do with it. Bretons have called Almora home for quite some time.
