A day later, he escaped because Emperor Uriel Septim VII had to escape from the Mythic Dawn Assassins. Figure out what happens next... If the Nerevarine was the Hero of Kvatch then the Hero of Kvatch would be OP from the beggining. They aren't the same person. First of all, the nervar is a dark elf, and the the hero of kavatch WAS a imperial, so sholar of the scrolls, good job

Um... what?

Aside from establishing the Nerevarine as male (which still makes no sense) Bethesda has never declared the "canon" race or gender of any protagonist. That would defeat the whole purpose and feel of the Elder Scrolls, where you make YOUR character.

My Nerevarine was a Dunmer male, but my Hero of Kvatch was a Breton guy, not an Imperial. However, my Last Dragonborn was an Imperial woman. Or are you going to tell me that the Last Dragonborn was actually a Nordic man? Yes. That's the official Dragonborn. The badass in the iron helmet IS the Dragonborn, much like how that Imperial soldier in the Oblivion poster IS the Hero of Kvatch (http://www.elderscrolls.com/oblivion/downloads/ Notice that the wallpaper with the Imperial Legionnaire is titled "The Hero of Kvatch")
