If Reman was there, he would have defeated them all along with the traitorous Dovahkiin so bad the Stormcloaks would be forced to surrender like the Akaviri invaders. It isn't like Reman beat the Akaviri with all odds against him. Reman trapped them in the Pale Pass, any general could do that, it was the Akaviri that dug their own graves.

You forgot that Reman was the 3rd Dragonborn after Miraak & Alessia.

The Blades served the entire line of Dragonborn Emperors descended from Reman Cyrodiil and after that line died out they sought out another Dragonborn. When they finally located one, the Nordic-Breton Tiber Septim, they guarded and served his entire descendants until it died out with Martin Septim at the end of the Third Era.
