The original Tsaesci may or may not have been human or snake, in game alludes both ways.

The simple fact of the matter the "Dragonguard" is dead, the offshoot the blades could potentionally be reformed.

I will try to break down some misstated stuff in this article.

"The serpent-folk ate all the Men of Akavir a long time ago, but still kind of look like them."

- Mysterious Akavir

Now this could be figurative or literal, the ghosts of the blades in oblivion are definitely human. However from the pocket guide to the empire the Tsaesci Potentates intermarried with the Cyrodiils. One must remember that a child takes on the appearance of its mothers, not the father. This comes from Racial Phylogeny.

The statements of the numbers of either Akaviri, and that of the 3rd/4th Dominion are just speculation. A census of all the games shows a number of only 5000 named characters, from Redgaurd to Skyrim. "The last census, in the year 3E 401, lists the population at over 110,000"

- A History of Daggerfall

This is from the 3E, Daggerfall is one of the largest cities on all of Tamriel and this source puts its size just barely over 100k. I am not saying however that the populations of Tamriel/Akavir are not in the millions, however making vague speculation about them does not qualify as solid lore. "Since that time the cat-folk have tried to become the Dragons. Tosh Raka is the first to succeed. He is the largest Dragon in the world, orange and black, and he has very many new ideas."

- Mysterious Akavir

The only recorded mortal changing into a dragon is the king of Ka Po'Tan. Anything else is straight fanf-fic. Stating you have some secret anonymous person feeding you lore does not make it accepted. ahem recorded, there have been many changes unnoticed by imperial writers
