Think of it like this Akatosh is an actor, this actor has played many different characters. Now Imagine these "characters" are all actually seperate living beings. Alduin is one of Akatosh's seperate "characters". Except Akatosh/Alduin is not a mortal. What you mean is Akatosh's essence in those chosen beings and Alduin being one of them.
