74.136.214.31 wrote: Talos is both God and Man. He was born a mortal man (Race of man unknown) at first, going by Hjalti Early-Beard, Talos Stormcrown, and Tiber Septim. After his death, he became a God. There is evidence to support this throughout the games. The Eight Divines, when speaking to or through a mortal, refer to themselves as the Nine Divines. In Morrowind, the man called Wulf gives the Neravarine (player-controlled character) a coin for good luck, which then places the 'Luck of the Emperor' blessing upon the Neravarine. In Oblivion, the bastard son of Uriel Septim VII, Martin Septim, is opening the portal to Mankar Camoran's "Paradise." Martin says he needs the "Blood of a Divine." The Hero of Kvatch (player-controlled character) goes to an ancient Ayeleid Ruin and retrieves "Tiber Septim's/Talos's Armor." Using this works, helping to open the portal to "Paradise." In Skyrim, the Last Dragonborn (player-controlled character) can hear Heimskr, the Priest of Talos, preaching. Heimskr preaches about both Talos/Tiber Septim, and the Thalmor saying Talos was a "mere man." There is a Shrine of Talos behind him, which gives you a blessing FROM Talos. The Amulet of Talos, as more proof, gives the Last Dragonborn a cooldown on shouts (Talos/Tiber was a Dragonborn. Proved in the "Prophecy of the Dragonborn.") which allows the Last Dragonborn to use the Thu'um sooner than normal. This is another blessing from the Ninth Divine, Talos.

So, to you, fellow readers and forum posters, I close my case. Talos is both Man and Divine. This has all pretty much ben discussed earlier. The speach of Heimskr is from From the Many Headed Talos, which describes his use of CHIM. There is evidence to support that Talos walked all of the Walking Ways. He mantled Lorkhan and was the outcome of the Enantiomorphic event brough on by Numidium, which is the main event that produced the Divine we know as Talos. Wulfharth, and likely Hjalti, were Dragonborn (Hjalti because of his melding, for lack of a better term, with Wulfharth). This also includes being Shezarrine.

There's also that whole thing with the devs saying he's a Divine.
