It's not as complicated as I am making it appear, just think at it as all of the dragons being the same, yet with different minds. Another explanation for Alduin's personality is that his intended role was to destroy the world, but he deviated from that path in order to become the world's ruler, as dragons tend to have a certain instinct for dominance. Whoa whoa whoa, let's take a time out for a second. Where did Aka come from? I thought the first two beings of divinity were Anu and Padomay and from them came the Aedra, like Akatosh. If Akatosh wasn't directly from the blood of Anu/Padomay and is a shard equal to the other dragons, does that mean he really isn't deserving of worship and isn't a god in the sense that the other Aedra are?

I'm sorry if I'm just missing it, but I feel like I'm missing a whole lot of lore all of a sudden. If I am, cool, let's get that cleared up right now! :) Unfortunately, that's where I begin to lose it. I'm sure someone more versed in the obscure texts can help more, like Dovahsebrom and AES. From my interpretation, AKA was one of the original spirits, later known as Et'Ada, along with Lorkhan, the Space God.
