The Dragonborn could become Emperor, as long as they have enough power to begin with (e.g. Tiber Septim). The Dragonborn could also become emperor due to his power as Dragonborn and any backing he may have, and in order for the lore in future games not to conflict with gamers' experience with Skyrim the Dragonborn could just change thier name upon seizing the throne much as Hjalti Early-Beard changed his to Tiber Septim. The name could also be unisex.
