What makes you beilieve the protagonist became Sheogorath? I haven't seen eny evidence of it in the only two games I played where my character completed the quest and killed, and thereby released, Jyggalag. After that Sheogorath ceased to exist as Sheogorath, because he had become Jyggalag. The Champion of Cyrodil and Sheogorath are tow distinct and separate individuals.

However Bethesda decided that didn't happen, presuming that the champion of Cyrodil had either not abandoned the quest or failed to defeat Jyggalag.
