This led to the human features to the physique, They seem to be similar to Argonians however they look more serpent-like and have a natural grace to their movements. Also it can be assumed to some degree that when the games mention Akaviri we can replace it with Tsaesci since:

When natives of Tamriel think of the Akaviri they think of the Serpent-Folk, because one ruled the Cyrodilic Empire  for four hundred years  in the previous era . He was Potentate Versidue-Shaie , assassinated by the Morag Tong  .

Mysterious Akavir

However they are not the only ones to have been to Tamriel, the Kamal have been to Skyrim and Morrowind before during the Second Era Invasion. I believe this has led to the "confusion" in the books as to what the Akaviri look like since to race have been to Tamriel, one that is serpentine (Tscaesci) and one that could look more human (Kamal).

Also one thing that bugs me in the lore is that the Tsaesci are suposedly "Immortal" yet Potentate Versidue-Shaie was assasinated. Perhaps someone has an explaination.
