Well, it's often seen like this:

Hjalti Early-Beard was the original guy from Skyrim who managed to beat the Reachmen.

When Wulfharth came to his tent and made Hjalti able to use the Thu'um, Hjalti Early-Beard + Wulfharth became Tiber Septim.

When the whole Enatiomorph, Mantling and CHIM story happened, Zurin Arctus (the Imperial Battlemage of that time and one of Tibers friends), Hjalti Early-Beard and Wulfharth (who are at that time Tiber Septim) became Talos.
