Tiber Septim was created when the Talos Stormcrown and Zurin Arctus did the same thing. Talos Stormcrown was evil, he betrayed Zurin and began conquering the world with Numidium and killing the royal families that he considered to be "unloyal". Since Numidium causes a Dragon Break everytime it is activated (and Tamriel sleeps through Dragon Breaks) the people of Tamriel barely remember what Talos Stormcrown did, here is a cool line from The Real Barenziah almost always looked over.

"All she could remember of that dreadful time was seeing a huge shadow with burning eyes filling the sky."

This above line refers to Talos' purging of the ruling family of Morrowind, save for Barenziah.

At some point, Talos' conquest was halted by the Underking when he demolished Numidium.

Talos (or maybe Tiber) would go on to rewrite history, with what was probably CHIM, much like Vivec did, to hide his rise to power with lies.

But like with the Tribunal, his lies began to be exposed, most notably around the time of the Warp in the West.
