While all of this can be chalked up to the developers making a mistake with his race, the books, and the script being just incorrect (which was confirmed as such), some players suspect he's a false front for the Mythic Dawn as an attempt to try and rationalize all these actions in universe. He's wearing the Amulet of Kings despite not being related to the imperial family (though events in Skyrim could explain this). He confuses several Daedric Princes and their realms. Most notably, the historical Camoran wasn't an Altmer, while the one in-game is.
