I just came across some background on Septims on this wikia. We seemed to establish before that Tiber Septim was more likly a Breton from Alcair. The only reason he also considered to be the last of Atmorans to walk Tamriel, is because he became one with spirit of Ysmir, who in life was an Atmoran king.

However, upon looking at Septim Dynasty, I realized that the third ruler of the Dynsty was Empress Kintyra Septim I. She was actually a niece of Tiber Septim, since his only heir Pelagius I, didn't have any heir. Respectively, Kintyra Septim I, was the daugher of Tiber Septim's brother, Agnorith. Upon taking a look at the wikia article on Agnorith, I didn't find much, besides that he was brother of Tiber Septim and also that he was actually an Imperial, not Breton. Does this mean that Tiber Septim was really an Imperial then, born in Alcair? They definetly do not specify if they were half brothers, or sworn brothers. So, if Hjalti Early Beard and Agnorith were blood brothers, then it would make them both Imperials, since you cannot really have one brother of the same parents be Breton and another an Imperial. Unless they specifically state that they were half brothers.

Also, there seems to be another question. If Pelagius I, the second Septim Emperor, was the last direct descendant of Tiber Septim, wouldn't he also be the last to carry Dragonblood that so important in the lighting of Dragonfires? How were, every Septim after Pelagius I able to be Dragonborns, if they did not directly descended from Tiber Septim?

The only posible explanation is that Dragonblood already ran within Hjalti's family before that. While his brother Agnorith did not possesed the natural t'hum, he more then likely was also Dragonborn by blood. Otherwise, how do you explain the decendants of Kintyra Septim being able to light the Dragonfires for centuries, until Martin Septim; while Kintyra Septim I was direct descendant of Agnorith, Tiber Septim's brother, who appearantly was an Imperial, not a Breton.
