(Michael Kirkbride's written everything on Pelinal Whitestrake. Which surprises me, because his Thalmor stuff is impenetrable nonsense, where this beautiful.)
Morihaus, a god, prophesyed Pelinal would return as a fox. Before the Ages of Man backs his words, revealing Pelinal was known in the North as Hans the Fox. Reman is translated "Light of Man" (Varieties of Faith in the Empire), and, in the Song of Pelinal, Whitestrake praises the unborn Reman. So, is Morihaus also prophesying Pelinal returned as Reman? The Songs of Pelinal were compiled in Reman's time. Personally, I think he tinkered with the legend for mythical aggrandizement.
