Well, he could be half Breton half other race. There aren't many evidence to suport it, besides his name being of Nordic origins and that he was born with that name in High Rock. Perhaps Lariats really doesn't have anything to do with Septims, but it doesn't mean that Talos in life was half Breton, half Nord. He more then likely gained Atmoran and Imperial thing after he mantled them all with Shor. Now, I am not sure if that happened after he used Numidum, or after he ascended to godhood. But in the way, Talos brough Shor/Lorkhan to the Pantheon. That might also be why Thalmor don't like him as a god, oh and the fact that he subjugated Summerset Isles that were completely independent until Tiber Septim came along.
