(Nobody else seemed to mention this) They never actually state his race, but I always assumed he was a Breton who moved to Skyrim and assumed a Nord name when he joined the military. However, you're right, he may have been the last surviving Atmoran for all we know. His title as "Talos of Atmora" has little to do with it. Bretons have called Almora home for quite some time. Aren't Bretons from High Rock? Even so Talo's race would be Aedric, since he is a divine (if that's what you believe)

I read that he was born on the island of Alcaire, which I thought was part of High Rock. Also, I do believe he is now a divine, but that doesn't mean he wasn't whatever race he was before he died.
