Because of his name he must have been at least part Nord, like many have said the most likely thing is that his father was a Nord Noble and his mother could have been a Breton Noble(likely from the Lariat family). The reason for his father being a noble is because he was raised in Skyrim by a Jarl. When he fought for the King of Falkreath he took the name General Talos. After he sued the thu'um the Greybeards dubbed him Stormcrown, and bestowed onto him the title Ysmir. After he became Emperor he took the name Tiber Septim, and likely married an Imperial(since his grandson is an Imperial). After he died he became Talos once again. There is a little more to that because of the whole Mantella thing, and the Wulfharth/Zurin thing. But in a general sense this is the truth.
