If he lived outside Skyrim and so never did one or both of these things, how would he know if he was Dragonborn? Presumably the Septims knew because their parents, Priests of Akatosh and historical documentation told them so. But if a Dovahkiin was born away from other Dragonborn, with no historical or prophetic warning, who would know? HoK isn't dragonborn. only dragonborns can wear the amulet of kings. in oblivion you can't put on the amulet of kings and in the game it says you cannot wear it because you are not dragonborn. also sheo.
