Under the helmet he's a Redguard.

The reference to morrowind I think you're talking about is the other tough ebony clad person from there:

Gaenor. But no, he's redguard, though I think he's the avatar of Ebonarm.

In strict game-mechanics terms: He's a Redguard.

Though I suspect he's a Divine being. An avatar of Ebonarm, whom is a patron to warriors. Specifically, Redguards.

The Ebony Warrior is a Nord in a Redguard's body.

I recall reading somewhere that the original Ebonarm was a Nord, or something to that extent.

His description certainly was very Nordy:

I believe that the Redguards are the ones that mostly revere him now, so his change in appearence could be to reflect that.

A very dark Redguard though as some people suggest he is very likely some Et'Ada

I remember imagining him as a red-haired, blue-eyed black guy the first time I read this a long time ago.

I can't be the only one, right?

I hope Reymon Ebonarm doesn't look anything like this guy http://images.uesp.net/d/d7/SR-npc-Fihada.jpg :yuck:

Blue eyes apparently has become a common trait among Redguards in Skyrim now.

Skin tone, yes. The images in my mind were pretty garish thanks to that opening paragraph, so by the time Ebonarm's description came about I was like "Eh, everything else is already bright as [censored], why not?" Eugh.

I thought Fihada was a Dunmer at first. Then I got a good look at him and the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZJbWp2CTbk

Redguard, thought that was a well known fact.
