Akatosh made them that way when they were born. They were born with the dragon blood in them. Their destiny being to kill Alduin, that is their purpose here. No one else except the character you play was able to do it. Thus, making you the last Dragonborn ever. With all that being said, Miraak just happened to be the first one Akatosh created to stop Alduin, which miraak chose not to do. When Akatosh bestowed the dragon blood upon Queen Elysia she was already an adult so no This is incorrect Queen Elysia was the first dragonborn. She was very young when in the temple of Akatosh she begged for the divines to give humanity a way to be free from the constant war with the deadra. Elysia offered her life to the divines in hopes for them to aid man kind. Akatosh decided to accept her offer, however, to Akatosh her life did not mean her existence. Instead Akatosh bestowed upon her the soul of a dragon, the amulet of kings, as well as forming the dragon fires. Akatosh pushed the deadra to Oblivion in exchange for Elysia becoming dragonborn. No one else ever became dragonborn, it is a gift given from Akatosh at birth. Akatosh encarnates the soul of a dragon into a mortal. There were no dragonborn's in the last kalpa because there were no jor to bear the soul of the dova. As far as Mirrak goes he isn't the litteral first dragonborn however he was the first one to learn to shout, taught by paarthurnax long ago when mortals worshipped the dragons as God's. This is why he believes he is the first. Mirrak doesn't know his place, he strayed from his path and became a puppet for Herma Mora to use, hence the whole pissing off the dragons and getting his temple destroyed.
