The hero of Kvatch...I guess would be flying around by due to the theme and location plus the way Sheogorath looks in ESV, I guess the leaning towards Imperial is needed. But that's the point. The nerevarine was confirmed as a dunmer. Where is the Dunmer Province? Morrowind. Where does ESIII take place? Now then let's apply that logic to ESIV. People see it in the trailer, the province is the Heartland of the Imperial race and empire. So fans believe the Hero of Kvatch to be Imperial. But then, look at Skyrim. Now we have a Nordic Legend involved. Not saying that the legend really counts into this, but wouldn't you require nord blood/beliefs in order to go to Sovngarde when you die? Wouldn't you have to be some big badass Nordic Figure in order to go there without suffering any ill effect? And then look at the location. A cold tundra with ice caps and deathly cold wind. I may not be a scientist, and I know the imperials and Bretons don't have resistance against the cold, and I know Argonians are cold blooded, so the most likely species to even bare the cold in their loin cloth would be Khajit and Nords. Orcs maybe, but they see it more of a challenge then something bearable. Altmer and Bosmer are a no seeing where they hail from. And several dunmer have complained about the cold, so their out of the question. Now then... we have two candidate races left, Khajit and Nord. It takes place in the Nordic Province of Skyrim, and Nords are treated better than the Khajiit, so Khajiit won't be able to do much. So Nord is the most likely candidate to be Bendu Olo IV (or is it the VI?). I don't want to break the illusion of other's RPs or their own characters, and Bethesda doesn't want to either. But they will in the next game through hints that people will ignore because it interferes with their own playthrough(s).
