Hans the Fox

An interesting connection I've come upon:

And Morihaus, confused, snorted through his ring, saying, "Your crusades went beyond her counsel, Whitestrake, but I am a bull, and therefore reckless in my wit. I think I would go and gore our prisoners if you had left any alive. You are blood-made-glorious, uncle, and will come again, as fox animal or light. Cyrod is still ours."

One of the choices in Oblivion is to become The Gray Fox or even the Divine Crusader, successor to Pelinal Whitestrake in banishing Umaril.
So could the Champion of Cyrodiil be one of the Shezarrines? if so, does this mean Lorkhan, Akatosh, Sheogorath are one? future come past?

[And it is] said that he emerged into the world like a Padomaic, that is, borne by Sithis and all the forces of change therein. Still others, like Fifd of New Teed, say that beneath the Pelinal's star-armor was a chest that gaped open to show no heart, only a red rage shaped diamond-fashion, singing like a mindless dragon, and that this was proof that he was a myth-echo, and that where he trod were shapes of the first urging. Pelinal cared for none of this and killed any who would speak god-logic, except for fair Perrif, who he said, "enacts, rather than talks, as language without exertion is dead witness." When those soldiers who heard him say this stared blankly, he laughed and swung his sword, running into the rain of Kyne to slaughter their Ayleid captives, screaming, "O Aka, for our shared madness I do this! I watch you watching me watching back! Umaril dares call us out, for that is how we made him!"

Sheogorath (The Mad God): The fearful obeisance of Sheogorath is widespread, and is found in most Tamrielic quarters. Contemporary sources indicate that his roots are in Aldmeri creation stories; therein, he is 'born' when Lorkhan's divine spark is removed. One crucial myth calls him the 'Sithis-shaped hole' of the world.

The implications of such a connection is quite well, mind boggling.

Possibly. Shezzarines appear to save the world alot, which the CoC did from the Oblivion Crisis. You could argue the CoC mantled Pelinal, making him a Shezzarine-by-proxy (assuming Pelinal was a Shezzarine; mantling like Hjalti/Tiber to Shezzar did to become a part of Talos). Lorkhan/Shezzar/Shor and Akatosh/Aka/Alduin are parallel forces (whatever that means; something about being the incarnate of Padomaic and Anuic forces respectively) which connects them.
