The first four games take place one after the other, all under the rule of Uriel Septime VII. That paired with the fact that, in Oblivion, he says he moved to Cyrodiil to Morrowind, means that The Maiq's in Oblivion and Morrowind are certainly the same person. And, as stated above, the Maiq in Skyrim is the decendant of the original.
