Now did the rest of Septim dynasty have the Blood of a Dragon, well the Blades thought they did. So under the assumption that blood is inherited, yes all the Septim had the Blood of a Dragon in them.

Now did they have the Soul of a Dragon? To this I propose That in Skyrim when you first start out, the players character only has the Blood not the soul. In this theory, Those with the Blood of a Dragon only gain the Soul of a Dragon after first absorbing (killing your first Dragon) it.

Dragon Souls are immortal; so rather then when you devour the soul after it apparent Death, you are absorbing it's soul not destroying it. In earlier post a lot of people where saying the Dragonborn Destroys the Soul. So I wanted to clerify in this theory it's absorbing it not destroying it.

Next, is the Last Dragonborn related to the Septim dynasty? Possibly, yes Martin Septim was the last Septim but blood lines can out live the names associated with them. I'm sure over the centuries the Septims produced a number of bastards that not even they know about. Now it's also possible this is a new gift of Dragon's blood from Akatosh to a different family, but I don't see that as the only possibility. As for all the onther races the Dragonborn can be in Skyrim, out breeding from the Septim bastards could explain that or even why they were not reconized as Septims in the first place as a result of mix race relationships.

Now can the Dragonborn by Emperor? If they want to be, I see no reason why the Dragonborn can not take the throne after the next great war with the Thalmor

Just what I was thinking.
