Bethesada set out to create a villian, but instead created an anti-hero. Voryn Dagoth fought side-by-side  with Indoril Nerevar in the Battle of the Red Mountain. After the defeat of Dwemer, Nerevar entrusted him the Profane Tools. In his absence, Voryn used Tools to trasfer some of Heart's essence into himself. After he returned, Nerevar demanded the Tools in order to destroy them. Voryn refused, as he stated he was entrusted to guard them. Nobody knows what exactly happened next; Nerevar was mortaly wounded, and Voryn was killed. However, he survived due to Heart's power and named himself Dagoth Ur. Millenias after, he planed to purge Morrowind of all non-Dunmer, conquer all of Tamtiel, and infect all with corprus; making him God of all races. So, calling him an anti-hero is like calling corprus a mild cold. This is the official history written on the wiki. The only source that suggests Nerevar was murded by Dagoth is The Battle of Red Mountain written by Vivec during the height of the Tribunal.

Meanwhile, Nerevar at Red Mountain was written by one of Nerevar's close allies, and even mentions the Nerevarine Prophecy. Vivec's tale of the events was actually written as a response to these ideas. The only source that suggests Nerevar was murded by Dagoth is The Battle of Red Mountain written by Vivec during the height of the Tribunal.

"Nerevar turned away from Lorkhan and struck down Dagoth-Ur in rage"

-The Five Songs of King Wulfharth

"I served you faithfully once, Lord Nerevar, and you repaid me with death"

-Dagoth Ur speaking to the Nerevarine

Nerevar at Red Mountain was written by one of Nerevar's close allies, and even mentions the Nerevarine Prophecy.

"By her powers of prophecy, she assured us that her champion, Nerevar, true to his oath, would return to punish us for our perfidy, and to make sure such profane knowledge might never again be used to mock and defy the will of the gods"

-The Battle of Red Mountain
