I am not so sure that the Dragonborn is an Aedra. The Aedra are the Divines as far as I know, and the Dragonborn definitely isn't a divine. Perhaps the Dragonborn possesses one of the Aedra's souls, as some form of projection of their existence, but I know for sure that Aedra are not known to be on Nirn.
