shouldnt you consider all DLC to be canon and not part of the linear story?

people are missing the possibility that perhaps Bethesda are Teasing the player. Within the story it is safe to assume that All daedric princes had some sort of interaction with the HoK - Like in Skyrim Hermaeus Mora says: "I am Hermaeus Mora. I am the guardian of the unseen, and knower of the unknown. I have been watching you, mortal." Granted that the HoK was capable of Amazing feats and accomplished tasks that no other person could seemingly accomplish. it is entirely possible that Sheogorath along with other daedric princes took an interest in the powerful adventurer and Watched them. Sheogorath - then - in his madness memorized what happened and gives you a cryptic verse that hints suspiciously and coincidentally towards *being the HoK*: "You know,I was there for that whole sordid affair.Marvelous Time! Butterflies,blood, a Fox,a severed head...Oh,and the cheese! To die for." Of course he was "there" he's immortal, also It isn't like Martin septim was unknown if commoners and peasants knew of the goings on, history being written, Martin being emporer, Martin turning into a dragon, then its hard to think that it would pass the attention of a daedric prince. Even the Daedric Prince of Madness.

Until a game developer/story board director and the story writers say "yes sheogorath is the Hero of Kvatch" we cannot know for sure.

My explanation is as feasible as the idea that the HoK became Sheogorath.
