Now I'm a bit late to the party but I'll give my input anyway.

First of all, their not meant to be the same person, simple as that. This theory is just a way to brute force it to work. So anyway. It's a common theory, Arena and Daggerfall they're the same guy, so let's go with that. The end of Daggerfall, they disappear, for 40 years, remember that.

So 40 years on. They turn up and they go through the whole Nerevarine business. Now after that, they go off and do whatever. 6 years later they turn up In the imperial prison for whatever reason you like. Now, remember. Over 40 years on and the Emperor Isn't going to recognize them and doesn't ask their name. (If you think they would recognize them after 40 bloody years, then just say the warp in the west lost their name and face to history or something.) Now, this is where you need to stretch a bit. After the events of oblivion, Akatosh gifts you with a soul of a dragon. Making you a Dovahkiin (best I could come up with, sorry.) As for the Sheogorath issue. He's the prince of madness, you could come up with countless ways of getting around it. It was all a dream, It was a different hero, whatever takes your fancy.

Now 200 years. Completely possible for an elf or simply use the excuse that they're the Nerevarine thus immortal.

They defeat Alduin and save the world for the fifth bloody time and everyone goes home for a cuppa. And that is all I've got for someone who doesn't know much about the lore and is sleep deprived.

Take it or leave it.
