You could argue that Molag Bal and Mehrunes Dagon has a strong link to Hermaeus Mora - the Augr of Dunalaine said 'You shall find no shelter in knowledge: knowledge shal CORRUPT, it shall DESTROY, it shall consume.'

All those who are lost to the ravenous desire for hidden knowledge in Apocrypha are, in their own way, corrupted - as is Molag Bal's sphere - and destroyed - as is the sphere of Mehrunes Dagon. Both Molag Bal and Mehrunes Dagon may also have ties to Hermaeus Mora, as Dagon and Molag Bal have to each other (they traded lesser Daedra between them during both of their respective invasions of Mundus) - as shown by Mehrunes Dagon's own tome of esoterical forbidden knowledge that corrupts and destroys all who read it, lest Dagon allow them to remain whole, - the Mysterium Xarxes - similar in a way to the Oghma Infinium - whilst Molag Bal possessed knowledge of the secret revelation of CHIM, as he revealed to Vivec, and may have originally been obtained from Hermaeus Mora...
