This could be wrong, though. You appear to be correct.

''In Oblivion, a character representing the ghost of a Tseasci made an appearance in Pale Pass. His physical appearance, however, did not match that of a Tsaesci at all, and his race in the CS was listed as "Imperial." It was speculated that they might not have literally "eaten" the men of Akivir, but rather consumed their culture, or else that they were not actually snake-like at all. The former proposal was supported by one developer, but Michael Kirkbride, the inventor of the Tsaesci, has repeatedly stated that the appearance of this character is due to technical limitations, and that they are literally, in his words, "Immortal. Vampire. Snakemen."[5] ''
