I don't think that Talin died before Daggerfall, the single man that delved through each province, found the pieces of the staff of chaos, killed Jagar Tharn in single combat, and acquired a load of daedric artifacts on the way would simply die. I think that he simply retired from service to the emperor and ruled over a portion of the empire (probably his homeland), until he decided to continue his adventures around Tamriel (probably.) He is a much better hero than the hero of daggerfall, however. Ignoring the totem, the power-hungry sod sought to take the mantella and use the Numidium for his own ends, which backfired on him in the end, with him being killed by the Numidium, ironically.
