He could have manipulated the universe around it so that it THOUGHT he was a Septim or so the Amulet didn't need to be worn by a Septim.

Just a thought.

It's hinted in the Commentaries that he became Dragonborn or was always Dragonborn.

And countless other writings of cult leaders have hinted that they were the Messiah or whatever they wanted. The commentaries aren't neccessarily the best evidence of fact. ... The Commentaries on the Mysterium Xarxes are a very reliable source for information. They may seem like mad writings, but Mankar made this comments on the Mysterium Xarxes, which is basicly like the Oghma Infinium. Also, he mentions several deep lore things such as CHIM, the Mnemoli, Lyg, etc. They can be believed.

He may be a well learned individual. Like the anon said, they are his commentaries so it is him implying he may be Dragonborn.

I'm not saying it's not possible. It's just hard to take a book as a fact when the author is the one making claims that are to be taken as fact. He also attributes planes of Oblivion to the wrong Princes, which casts doubt on his actual knowledge, considering how basic that is. I can't say that a text in a language no one understands says something and have that be taken as fact, even if I do mention things that wouldn't be commonly known, so why does a video game character get that leeway?

And I'm curirous, do we see him wear the Amulet outside of the realm he is in full control of? Because that is the biggest thing I see in the argument against him being Dragonborn in any capacity.

Again, it's possible, but there is so little evidence supporting it that can be firmly stood on.
