Umaril was similar to an Auroran since birth, but the details about his parenting are unknown. His race is further explained in this line:

"And then came the storming of White-Gold, where the Ayleids had made pact with the Aurorans of Meridia, and summoned them, and appointed the terrible and golden-hued "half-Elf" Umaril the Unfeathered as their champion… and, for the first time since his coming, it was Pelinal who was called out to battle by another, for Umaril had the blood of the 'ada and would never know death."

- The Song of Pelinal, Book III

The "blood of the 'ada" line likely invokes a Daedra father, possibly an Auroran or even Meridia herself, whom he had a strong alliance with during the course of his reign. ah. Makes sense.
