User blog comment:Jack Pistol/The First Dragonborn?/@comment-1206476-20130109022844

well if bethesda said he is the first dragonborn then he is probably people have forgotten about him since he lived in merethic era back when the dragons ruled over man kind he probably found out that he's dragonborn has the abilities to absorb the souls of the dragons to gain strength and betrayed them the only thing that confused me is that frea said that the dragons burned his temple to the ground and killed him but apparently according to the book called guardian and the traitor miraak and vahlok fought for days and eventually the tide went with vahlok while he was about to deliver the killing blow to miraak herma mora snatched him and well...probably that's the reason why he's in apocrypha see the way they describe the history is not clear probably because of the very old history and it was barely recorded in books.
