Im not sure if anyone has said this yet but... The Dragonborn is most likely not related to the Septims because of: You don't have to be a direct decendent of the Septim bloodline to be Dragonborn it can actually occur as a gift from the divine. I believe this is what happened to the Dragonborn in Skyrim. For example Miraak is not a Septim but he was born with the dragon blood and this was during the time where dragons were still ruling over Tamriel so he could absorb the souls and figure out that he was Dragonborn. As for the Septims they were born into a time without dragons so they were only told they had the dragon blood but they couldn't confirm it without soul. And finally about Martin's kids, I belive that if he had kids they would be kept in secret especially if he felt guilt about it. Which means if he actually had kids they would have known about him being emperor and all of that and the Septim bloodline wouldnt have ended at all.
