The first "recorded" Dragonborn in history is Saint Alessia, although she was apparentlya special Dragonborn. Yeah she wasn't born as a dragonborn. She was given the power by Akatosh himself.

I actually meant that Alessias Dragonborn powers weren't like Miraaks Dragonborn powers.

"Alessia didn't have the power to absorb dragon souls. Hers was a much more nuanced power: to dream of liberty and give it a name and on her deathbed make Covenant with the Aka-Tusk."
