It is completely possible that Talos pulled a Vivec and altered his past via CHIM and made himself an Atmoran. With that said, Hjalti was a Breton or a Nord living in High Rock. Ysmir was obviously a Nord, and Zurin was Imperial. Talos is all of these things. There was even a short period of time where he was an Orc. So to the question of what race was Talos, the most correct answer is just "Yes."
