I'm sorry, these points you're mkaing I feel are poor. Name something I've said that is baseless?

They're a very powerful Vampire clan. Serana even tells you (if the player is a Vampire when they meet) that you should know who Harkon is. So he must have some connection to the Vampires in Skyrim.

Click my username, go to blogs, and then the click the one with the title "Harkon's Backstory?"

The point was that just because the majority of people think something doesn't mean it's true.

It's based on lore that I said that. Each race in the Elder Scrolls is based off of a culture in real life. Nords = Vikings, Redguards = Arabs for example. Bretons are based off of French/Celtics, which is what the design of that castle is somewhat like, that and Imperial, NOT Nordic. Which is why they couldn't have had an insperation because it didn't exist. I don't think marble exists in Skyrim, why don't they ever use it if it does? My things are based off of logic and reason.

He's not. I really want you to read the blog to know why. Also, he had an image to keep as well as a huge ego. So it's not that unlikely he was greatly exaggerating or downright lying.

In game actions don't count. It has nothing to do with lore. The programmers probably didn't think it was necessary to program him doing all of this. All the missions you do in Castle Volkihar, Harkon probably has to deal with, that's what a leader does. Why would they even need a leader if not for that?
