The Hero of Kvatch is unconfirmed. Just because the game was set in Cyrodil doesn't mean the Hero was an Imperial. Cyrodil was easily the most diverse of the past three games, and it is easily believable that the Hero could've been any of the 10 races. Sheogorath's appearance doesn't mean much, since as a Daedric Prince he can change his form at will.

The only reasons why I believe that the Neravine is a Dunmer and the Dragonborn was a Nord is because when the Neravine is brought up, I remember him being mentioned as a Dunmer, and every official depiction by Bethesda of the Dragonborn is as a Nord.
