I really don't see what there is to "discuss". There are so many "arguments" here which are really "I personally think it would be cool if...." IDGAF what your little make believe session with yourself generates. Lets stick to what to what is official.

Now I have not played the first two TES games at all, so I will go with what people who have played them state. The first two player characters are dead. End of story, no BS "what if the magical reincarnation fairy...." They were also seperate people as the official lore gives seperate brithdates. That does not mean they could not have some shared heritage of some sort, but they are not the same person, or a later character.

Now for TES: Morrowind, which I have played for a several hundred hours. The Nerevarine is likely still alive. As people have pointed out multiple times, he was biologically immortal, and it can be assumed quite powerful having killed Dagoth Ur and Almalexia, so is unlikely to have died in combat. Oblivion, which I did not play much of because it felt like a crippled Morrowind, has rumors that the Nerevarine departed for Akavir. Without rumors to the contrary, or rumors of his return it is quite likely he is still alive and well in Akavir. Also keep in mind he is strongly aligned with Azura, and may be considered to be her chief representative in TES. Which in turn may mean he will make a reappearance as such in later TES games.

Moving on to Oblivion. As stated, I could not get into it because I hated the "we took 30%+ of your capabilities away from what you could do in Morrowind" approach. I.E. Morrowind was a PC game ported to console, and Oblivion felt like a console game ported to PC. Anyways, the HoK becomes Sheogorath. Period. There is no "I don't think that happened" or "Not in my personal daydream". In Shivering Islands, when you finish the main quest line you are addressed by multiple characters as "Lord Sheogorath". Also, in Skyrim, as the Dragonborn, you meet Sheogorath and there are all kinds of references to the fact that he is the HoK. Not good enough? The voice actor for Sheogorath stated the HoK became Sheogorath in a Q&A session.

As for the Dragonborn, he is alive and well last time I looked, but maybe I should go check again....
