I actually had to correct that article you were using Legate Alexandros. The reference that article uses is from Brief History of the Empire, v 1. In the book no where does it actually refer to the Imperial race itself. It does refer to the Imperial Crown, and the Imperial name. "Pelagius had no living children, so the Crown Imperial passed to his first cousin, the daughter of Tiber's brother Agnorith. Kintyra, former Queen of Silvenar, assumed the throne as Kintyra Septim."

- Brief History of the Empire, v 1

After further research since posting my last comment, I am fairly certain that Tiber Septim was defintely not an Atmoran. The last ship from Atmora arrived in year 68 of the first era almost three thousand years before Tiber Septim was born. "The last invasion - if that is the word for two ships, largely laden with corpses, begging to make port - occurred in the 68th year of the First Era."

- Pocket Guide to the Empire, Third Edition: Atmora

Invasions of Atmorans are synonymous with colonial expansion, so after this point there are not any more references to colonists from Atmora. The reason he is pegged as being an Atmoran, is that same reason the Empire for many years claimed that all Nedic people are descended from Atmoran warrions. It is straight propaganda, tethering a person or group to a mythical legacy.

So I think that eliminates him being an Atmoran, however if he was an Imperial, Nord, or Breton is still in the air for me. I think this is something we may never know.
