    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an open world action role-playing video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fifth main installment in The Elder Scrolls series, following The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 11, 2011.
    The game's main story revolves around the player character and their quest to defeat Alduin the World-Eater, a dragon who is prophesied to destroy the world. The videogame is set two hundred years after the events of Oblivion, and takes place in the fictional province of Skyrim. Over the course of the game, the player completes quests and develops the character by improving skills. The game continues the open world tradition of its predecessors by allowing the player to travel anywhere in the game world at any time, and to ignore or postpone the main storyline indefinitely.

      If we are to study the way that he is written, then yes, he is a player character. His erratic personality is somewhat mentioned in the books and FudgeMuppet actually talks about it in his vid. That's what tipped me off. If we look at the idea of a "TimeTraveling-Cyborg-Player-Character that becomes a god upon death" we can clearly see that some of the features have already been used in other Bethesda games. A person that travels to the future = Fallout 4, Becoming a god = Oblivion, Cyborg = The Terminator games made by Bethesda in the 90s.
      Maybe one of the devs, that worked on some of these projects, though it would be funny to make such a character.

      @@OneLastJellyGuy That's more the earth bones, the Aedra that sacrificed their very lives to create the laws of physics essentially in the mortal realm. Some Aedra didn't die during the process and became Elnofey and eventually degenerated into what is now known as Mer or Elves. Some Aedra though kept their divine natures but lost their physical forms. Those Aedra became known as the 8 divines (or 7 depending if you believe Arkay started mortal or not, different sources and lore say different things with Arkay or Orkay as he's sometimes known). So out of the hundreds of Aedra that gave their lives and physical forms to become the world, only 8 of them managed to maintain a portion of their power and consciousness ascending to Aetherius, bringing dead mortals that revere them with them.
      That being said elderscrolls lore is a clusterfuck and has contradictions everywhere. Who knows how accurate the above I said is in relation to what the dev's intended.

      OneLastJellyGuy but it wasn’t confirmed that he was a cyborg. it was said by Kirkbride after he had already left Bethesda’s writing team. let’s not forget here that a majority of the lore Kirkbride wrote was dismissed as “Kirkbride’s nonsense” during the development of Morrowind and was intended to be left up to interpretation by the player. it’s far more likely that Pelinal was a Shezzarine; and sure, that doesn’t necessarily exclude him from being a cyborg, but the arm being made of a “Killing Light” could just as easily be interpreted as Aedric Spear from ESO, or a reference to Airgetlám, the silver prosthetic arm of the Celtic god Nuada, and his heart could easily be missing because he’s a Shezzarine (incarnation of Shezzar who is an interpretation of Lorkhan, obviously).

      Just saying, Pelinal as a concept is cool and all, but... I mean, seriously? People never look at the atrocities against innocents he committed
      I get he's a badass and all, and (most of) the Aylieds were also terrible and brutal, but they weren't all bad, some even helping Allesia, but apparently any acts he committed against innocents and those who tried to surrender would be enough to cause the Aedra to think about leaving Mundus.
      Cool concept yes, but people always toss away stuff like his unjust slaughter of innocent Khajit, and never take it seriously. Yet if a certain group of Elves does something bad, then they should automatically get tossed to the chopping block.
      Then again, we all have our own Biased opinions on certain matters, so I guess that's why.

We also can't be sure sure about the accuracy of those accounts as they are, by the time of TES IV: Oblivion, already over 3000 years old. We know that certain parts were lost and have only been recovered from the ruins of the fanatical Alessian Order.

      As to why Pelinal hated Elves. Many Elves are disgusted by mortality and seek to destroy Mundus, return it to Aetherius and be turned back into Et'Ada. It's a manichean obsession. Mankar Kamoran, the great antagonist in the main qoest of TES IV: Oblivion was obsessed with the destruction of Mundus.

      It's explicitly a matter of debate In Universe - and, according to the Song, was one even when he was still around - whether or not he was a Shezzarine. He personally refused to comment on it, which implies it was probably more complicated than that, but anyone that spoke about it too openly was eaten alive by moths in their sleep, which implies it was either obviously right and he or his greater self felt the need to suppress this knowledge even though it was obvious or so wrong that the world was compelled to punish such blasphemy. The Ayleids definitely thought he was a shezzarine.

    Pelinal is a great narrative artifact to help the concept of "the chosen one" that you find in elder scrolls games to fit in nicely moving forward. Sure, you're the hero of kvatch, the dragonborn, or whatever you may call yourself, but rest assured that there were people like you (that weren't player characters) that did things so massive and impressive that shaped the course of history in this world. If you ever thought that the civil war in skyrim going nowhere without your intervention was immersion-breaking, think that perhaps it's part of your character's destiny to make that move forward, and that their legend is still being written.

      Many of the members have specifically stated as having grown up in Pagan households. To many of them, this IS IN FACT, a direct continuation of the Old Greek Religion; quietly hiding away as a private, household religion until political reforms in the 80's allowed them to more publicly unionize.

    "time travelling cyborg", I think its more likely that due to his heavy armor he was mistaken for a machine. (Much like the Dwemer hidden in his heavy armor and "gifted" to the Chimer who was then mistaken for a new kind of automaton of the Dwemer.)

      He also openly knew things from the future, the armor was at least partially empty, and had a 'killing light' (laser canon) for or in his hand. Dude was definitely written as a cyborg from the future, if only because that's what Kirkbride says and he wrote the character entirely from scratch and the only part so much as touched by an editor was him being explicitly homosexual in a reference to Achilles.

  • @jefthereaper

    Kinda weird when you think about it, the elves were longer lived, and would naturally have much more of an advantage over mortal races.
    And in most instances that would have been true, but yet they got stomped on many occasions.
    The Falmer got purged near extinction by the Atmoran Nords, likely due to them still having the Thu'um back in those days.
    With 500 literal walking siege engines it was likely just a one sided massacre.
    Equally, the Alyeids got torn to shreds in the living crazy blender that was the demi-god Pelinal Whitestrake.
    And lets not forget Tiber Septim who basically went to fight a normal fleet, while using a gigantic divine robot that shatters time every time it's activated.
    Do the Elves even have any notable, long lasting victories against mortal races that would not come to bite them again later?
    I suppose there is the Battle at Red Mountain where Jurgen Windcaller was beaten so badly he became a pacifist.
