The HoK mantled Sheogorath. He wasn't consumed by him. Mantling is when the two beings become so similar that the universe can't tell the difference and if the universe can't then no one else can either. The HoK effectively became Sheogorath and Sheogorath became the HoK. This isn't a role switch. This is a merger with Sheogorath become the main person as he was the mantlee.
