In Morrowind you became the Naravarine...a demi-god. You became an equal to Vivec. The reason so much of it is always shrouded in a bit of mystery (outside of major details) is because we all play as somebody different. The Hero of Kvatch took on the form of Sheogorath for at least the durration of the era - possibly more, it's still yet to be seen if we stopped the cycle of the Grey March. We've yet to see what will happen ultimately with the Dragonborn, there's been nothing that will truly immortalize us, yet (outside of becoming a Vampire and simply surviving).

All-in-all not a horrible thought process, however. I think if we take in the idea that each hero is the embodiment of Lorkhan, we can deduce that maybe each hero isn't the same physical person. Possession isnt the word I really want to use, but the hero of each great event could be working with the spirit of Lorkhan - making them all of the same, but not literally the same.
