"Here's another theory I have concerning the player, Talos, Pelinal Whitestrake, and every player character in every one of the Elder Scrolls games:

What if in a weird sense they're all the same person? One common trope in stories is that of the 'eternal hero', a personage that is reflected in every great figure in myth and legend, this person (or traits thereof could be seen in heros like Heracles and Siegfried, Roland and Miyamoto... a lot of different legendary people with similar stories. The characters that the player controls throughout the series may very well be this same hero reincarnated into many different forms throughout the ages.  " yep exactly, a bit like Link in Zelda.
