I would say that the Hero of Kvatch is almost confirmed to be Sheogorath. Jyggalag aka the original Sheogorath, returned to the realms of Oblivion to regain his strength and become his own distinguished being again. The player COC then mantled the Madgod and became Sheogorath. But he definitely is. Bethesda would not include all the hints/related events to the Hero of Kvatch if they weren’t the same being because it’s not necessary to the storyline. Now I kind of like to believe that when we meet our previous character in Skyrim, he appears to people with the persona of the original Sheogorath because that’s what people have come to expect. Maybe he did keep his sanity and it’s an act for the mortals of Nirn. Either that or (what I believe really happened) is he really did fuse into becoming mad because by mantling Sheogorath he in turn became Sheogorath save for his past and own personal beliefs/memories that he was able to retain. Taking on that kind of power, becoming a god, must change the person into that whom they chose to mantle. And when people say that a mortal cannot become a daedra/daedric prince, just remember that when the other 15 Daedric Princes turned Jyggalag into Sheogorath, they created inadvertently another being, equal in power to the original being they turned who was the most powerful of the daedric princes and when Jyggalag separated with Sheogorath as we mantled him, two wholly separate but equally powerful beings were created and since Sheogorath was a daedra, so to became the COC.
