Lorkhan is padomaic. However, he's neither a Daedra, nor an Aedra and definetly not a Magna Ge, as he doesn't fit any of their definitions.

An Aedra is an Et'Ada which decided to help Lorkhan/got tricked by Lorkhan into creating Mundus and Nirn and sacrificed itself for it. Lorkhan obviously didn't help himself creating Nirn.

A Daedra is an Et'Ada which did not help Lorkhan/got tricked by Lorkhan, and instead decided to enter Oblivion and create realms of existance out of themselves. Lorkhan obviously didn't do that either.

A Magna Ge is an Et'Ada which originally decided to help Lorkhan, but fled into Aetherius shortly before Nirn and Mundus were completed. Lorkhan didn't escape it.
