So it's not like ESO is doing anything new in that regard. "In 2E 579, Mannimarco was one of the original Five Companions whose goal was to find the Amulet of Kings. When they found the amulet, Mannimarco tricked them into using it to cause an event known as the Soulburst. The Soulburst would allow Molag Bal to merge Nirn into his realm of Coldharbour, forever placing it under his control. Mannimarco, however, was secretly trying to take Molag Bal's place and become a god. In 2E 582, he would go on to be defeated by the Soulless One after the Five Companions had been reformed." -UESP None of this was supposed to happen. Instead, at the same exact time, he should have been betraying the mages guild and creating his dark artifacts. He should be matching his power, and should have already bound his soul away.
