Talos is the mortal's god, and he had become a god again if you believe he was a Shezzarine and thus an avatar of Lorkhan (god of mortal endeavor, or heroism in the epic sense). Despite this in the empire Talos is generally as equally respected with Akatosh (predictable if you subscribe to the idea Talos is Lorkhan under a different name, since Lorkahn in the act of Nirn's creation pulled a 180 on all the other Et'Ada).
