Personally I don’t think there is enough evidence to say the CoC mantled Whotestrake. Throughout the Knights of the Nine DLC, you are majorly tasked with collecting all the pieces of the divine crusaders outfit, something Pelinal himself didn’t do. So undertaking specific tasks that subject being mantled once undertook is already in dispute, in addition to numerous quotes from the time of Whitestrake and the Knights if the Nine themselves claiming Pelinal will come again. Leaning more towards the CoC being a reincarnation of Pelinal, but confusingly enough not in the same way the player character in Morrwind is a reincarnation of Indoril Never. Think of it more of a “doing things that Pelinal would do” rather than “doing things that Pelinal did”.
