Talos, known as Tiber Septim, Ysmir, Dragonborn, and heir to the Seat of Sundered Kings, was, and arguably still is, the greatest hero-god of Mankind. Talos is worshipped as the protector and patron of just rulership and civil society. Tiber Septim conquered all of Tamriel and began the Third Era, as well the Third Empire, renowned to be the Septim Dynasty. Prior to his death he is believed to have ascended to godhood as the God of Man and War. Less prominent sects, such as the Talos Cult, were inspired by his apotheosis. Talos, Ysmir, or Dragon of the North (a name given by the Greybeards of High Hrothgar to accompany his birth as Dragonborn) is a patron of questing heroes. He is referred to as the One in the phrase "The Eight and the One", as there were originally only Eight Divines before Tiber Septim ascended to godhood. In The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Tiber Septim makes an appearance as his avatar "Wulf".
