While they might not specifically know this, which is likely about alot of things, they do know he's no god. And as I said, judging by various people he's no legit got. Just someone to mimicked one copying Enantiomorph. That doesn't make you a god, unless the regular gods(or aedra or whatever) rose him up and was specified in the lore which the thalmor would have access to, we have to suggest he's not a god. Just because people worship as one doesn't make him a god.

So Thalmor are indeed correct that he's no god and merely human. I mean someone brought up the fact Arkay was also a man risen to godhood before Zenimax bought Bethesda but as usual nothing from then seems to be canon or continual over wise Thalmor would be trying to remove Arkay worship too.
