Probably pelagius III is actually a breton since bretons are half man half mer, his father was an imperial, but although you have a point, or this could just be an error of bethesda :) Bretons are likely not typical half-elves. It is far more likely that they are experiemnts. Also, the only lore we have on it says that the child is always the mothe's race. I wouldn't call anything that went against this in error. It's far more likely the hand of the unreliable narrator.
