I came to this land when my head was quite unceremoniously separated from my body. Bad luck that, but you make the best of things.". My immediate thought was Pelinal Whitestrake. What do you guys think about this?

Cadwell, or as he prefers to be addressed, "Sir Cadwell" (though he is not, nor has he ever been, a knight) was once an Imperial citizen from the town of Chorrol in Cyrodiil. Like the player, he was executed by agents of Molag Bal and became a Soul Shriven slave in Coldharbour, but this happened untold ages ago. Exactly how this happened may never be known because Cadwell was cheerfully, endearingly mad long before his execution. He is almost certainly the oldest of the non-feral Soul Shriven, and he has attained almost legendary status among them. Over the years he's discovered all nooks, crannys, hidden paths, and secret ways through the access tunnels that honeycomb the cliffs of Molag Bal's realm. The Daedra gave up trying to keep him in chains long ago. His madness makes him essentially useless, his cheerful disposition makes him annoying, and his knowledge of Coldharbour makes him impossible to hold captive.

My theory is that Cadwell is the being that small piece of Molag Bal's power has come to reside in, much like Haskill or Barbas. This would explain why he knows everything about every inch of Coldharbor, and why he can teleport around it at will.
As said earlier though, Cadwell can't be Pelinal because Pelinal appears to the Divine Crusader/Champion of Cyrodiil 750 years after eso. At this time he is entirely sane, quite convinced that he is in possession of his soul, and speaking from Aetherius. It would have been interesting but, unfortunately, Cadwell is not Pelinal Whitestrike. (Not to mention that by the sound of it, Pelinal's head was ceremoniously severed from his body)

But Cadwell at the end (Silver and Gold), has little to no insanity. Regarding the head taken... can be just another of Cadwell's jokes (like taking away the Nords from their Mead in the "Special Blend" quest).
I actually like the idea of Pelinal being defeated by a Meridia worshiper because that would be a reason for him to end up in Coldharbour. The Hollow City is or at least seems to be a former city from Cyrodiil that Meridia sent in Molag Bal's realm as part of a plan. All the inhabitants at that time somehow found themselves in Coldharbour despite probably having no connection to Molag Bal and Pelinal could have had the same fate since Meridia seems to have some control over that zone.
But there is in my opinion no way that Cadwell is Pelinal and one simple reason for me is their appearance.
"Pelinal, his closest mythical model would be Gilgamesh, with a dash of a T-800 thrown in, and a full-serving of brain-fracture slaughterhouse antinomial (Kill)3 functions stuck in his hand or head" says MK. Cadwell is far from looking like a cyborg / robot.

I see your point even though I do not like that example because it involves two Daedric Princes which are known to shift shape. The other thing that bothers me is that if we can't compare their appearance nor their ideas / personality then it's almost impossible to have common elements between the two and get in favor of whether or not Pelinal and Cadwell are linked. But I get your idea.Uncle Sheo doesn't look like Jyggalag
Please develop ^^Invalid.
