what's stopping him from being an atmoran born in highrock, who lived his youth in skyrim? Talos is a Devine in my opinion, but the name Talos was not given to him because he was a god. He was General Talos, when he fought for Jarl of Falkreath who was fighting for Imperial crown. Also, there would be nothing wrong with him being Atmoran born in High Rock, if they didn't specificly say that he was really born in Atmora and came to Tamriel when he was young. So like that we have one source saying that he was born in Atmora and another that he was born in High Rock. Do we belive an Atmoran theory because it sounds more epic? Or do we believe in the second theory? From the statue in Oblivion, it could be concluded that he is a Breton. But how well did they make statues in Oblivion? I mean did all of them look like the race they were supposed to be? In Skyrim, as oposite to Oblivion, they got a handful of Statues, and most of them of Devines: Mara, Dibella and Talos. There are two statues of men; Talos (I belive he can be also counted as such) and Yisgramor. I cannot remember more, unless you count statues of Deadric Princes; Meridia, Azura, Nucturnal, Malacath and Mehrun Dagon. In anycase, Talos in Skyrim looks  definetly like a Nord. I personally cannot say if there is any similarities to Yisgramor from those two statues, so I cannot say if he looks anything like an Atmoran in Skyrim. One good thing about Skyrim, is that details are better there, then in Oblivion. However, it doesn't mean that Oblivion clues are not right, it just mean even more contraverses.
