Of coarse being the Prince of Madness, the Hero of Kvatch could retain his original personality within him becoming Sheogorath wouldn't that be maddening, Sheogorath in Skyrim mentions being there for the entire sordid affair of Oblivion within the mind of a madman this would retain his helpful nature originally being a hero, as well insanity can be treated but not cured.

If I'm wrong you can correct me or you can write your own thoughts but this is only my personal opinion the only ones who would know what happened to the Hero of Kvatch would be the creators but what happens to the Hero of Kvatch is hinted in the games. I see it like this: The Hero of Kvatch (I'll only type HoK from now on) is in fact mad. Saving thousands of lives in his fight against Dagon, but also killing people for Sithis, what makes him look kind of schizophrenicor or heavily bipolar disturbed. If he wasn't schitzophrenic it says many things about his motives: He didn't want to do good things, but his doings eren't only for his personal advantage either, he did it, because he always looked for the challenge. Now imagine you gained immortality and did all the stuff the HoK did: Nothing would challenge you anymore. How should a war for example be a challenge for you, after you already defeated armies of dremora by yourself?

The last challenge the HoK saw was ruling his own realm and since the Shivering Isles were such a chaotic place, it was close to impossible to do that job properly. When he finally figured out how to do it he was bored again and left. Everything collapsed and Dervenin (the hobo in solitude) asked the Dragonborn to bring him back.

Does that sound possible?
