The child taking race from the mother is the rule, and like any rule there are exceptions. Within TES those exceptions are almost always magical in nature. Thus, I would think it safe to say, that the racial appearance of Pelagius and son would be attributed to the Septin blood, and moreover something to do with Akatosh. It could just be that if the male genes are strong enough, under whatever pretense and reasoning that term means in Nirn, it can override the female half of the genetic code. Either route seems just as likely as the other, in my opinion. And on a slightly related note, great point to bring to the discussion, Draconi.
