Please. If Martin had a kid he knew about he would definitely tell the Hero of Kvatch before sacrificing himself. I mean, he's saying things like, "Come, my friend," or, "You've been a good friend to me," etc. He obviously trusts HOK a lot. They went through a lot together. HOK probably was his only real friend minus Jauffre and Baurus, but they don't really count.

If you think he's too young to be a dad, he's around 30 to 45. (He DOES have wrinkles, and his half brothers are in their 50's)

I'm pretty sure I remember one of the Greybeards, (Argnier or Artheritus or something) saying that many of the Dragonborns were of Dragonblood ie the Septims, though being born out of a normal family but as a dragonborn, though veryveryvery rare, was propable.

Also, look at the Skyrim trailer or the wallpaper image again. Notice the Dragonborn's features.... Anyone notice the dark blue eyes? Straight brown hair perhaps? Coincidence? Probably. Nords classically have blond hair and blue eyes, so you would think he would be portrayed as such....

The dragonborn canonically is a Nord, just like the Nereverine is canonically a male Dunmer, but we're talking about six generations since Martin's supposed death. He doesn't have to be pure Nord and Imperials and nords are really the most similar out of all the races. It's not like Martin was a Redguard whose great great etc grandkid would still look slightly coloured.

Finally my last point. My Hero of Kvatch is slender dark elf with a dark past. ( She WAS in prison after all) She only helped Uriel's son because she had never been treated as anything more then 'thieving dark elf trash' except for Uriel. Eventually she became very close with Martin, and they might've liked each other, but they weren't sure if they were being friend zoned and/or if they just loved each other in a friend kind of way. Now I would like to say that one thing lead to another and they started baking a bun after she came back from Paradice and they realised they loved each other and blablablurhg etc, but to be honest, I can't see Martin doing that. He's kind of an insecure troubled honourable nerd. He act's like someone who hasn't.... and I think he's too, well, you know, Martiny to take matters into his own hand's. I can imagine him going, "uh... well...." and my dunmer looking at him expectantly, with a mudcrab and some slaughterfish and skeevers in grass skirts in the backround singing, "Kiss de Girl!" The best I can see happening is a few moments here and there, and Martin kissing a confused hero before smashing his amulet. I can imagine them getting together if he survived but before that... he's just not that kind of guy. My HERO is, being a bit of a rough diamond, but artin? No. He's too honourable. He's like Jack from "Miss Fishers Murder Misteries." This isn't just what I think he should be like, it's the genuine impression I get from his dialogue, the way he speaks, his backround, just everything about him.

And those are my thoughts on the subject. Not pushing a particular point in, or sauing it should be this way or that way. Just me thinking logically.
