I guess it would be more correct to say that the HoK was a incarnation of Lorkhan, since its believed all of the player characters are Shezarrines, but that requires a whole bunch of super meta-sybolism since I didn't go into it.

But to quickly sum it up Martin = Alessia, Manker+Dagon = Ayleids/Daedra, HoK = Pelinal, and everything in Oblivion's MQ, including to Martin sacrificing himself, is reminiscent of Alessia's war against the Ayleids, and her sacrificing herself to make the Amulet of kings, which stoped the Daedra.

Then, the HoK mantled another incarnation of Lorkhan, Pelinal, by collecting the armor/fighting Umaril/the Prophet even says you ARE Pelinal reborn. Ironic given that in Oblivion's MQ the HoK played Pelinal to Martin.

Then, the HoK mantled Sheogorath/Arden-Sul, who is a fragment of Lorkhan, via the events of Shivering Isles.
