After the Miracle of Peace, when timeline was restored, it is unknown what happened to him Is that why when I retrieve the Mantella my agent returned to Tamriel to be greeted by Nulfaga?

I will never understand why people so resolutely make the claim the agent is dead. The fate of the agent is purposefully left a mystery. The whole point is for the player to decide what happens, if that was not Bethesda's intention then they wouldn't bother with the ambiguity.

Since this is fairly off topic I'll add to the thread that the only other use of the term "augur" in the lore is in reference to Reachmen shamans.

"The augurs foresaw the boy's destiny: a warrior without peer, first and foremost Lord of the Reach, chosen to unite all under his name"
