Skyrim Dragon Born Is Alduin Brother?
So we know Dragon Born is Akatosh offspring,so is Alduin,so does that make them
related?But Alduin knows this so why would he attack DB?DB related to Paarthurnax
Miraak to? The Last Dragonborn is most powerfull DB? So they are related?

So Alduin does not eat the world?but how would he eat time if he best DB?
What would happen to the world?

So who brought back Alduin to Skyrim? so he called the dragons back.
Did Akatosh bring Alduin to Skyrim?or did Akatosh have DB as offspring to stop Alduin?
Was Miraak also Alduin dragon follower to?Will Miraak,DB,Alduin soul go to Akatosh?

Is it worth doing Miraak follower mod? Is Miraak last dragon follower of Alduin?
Should he of been in Skyrim to assist Alduin?

If you count siblings as soul related then yes, the Dragonborn is considered siblings and blood relation too. But nothing else, no Dragon families exist because they were created by Akatosh himself, the Dragonborn is a soul created I would assume by Akatosh to be in a mortal body to defeat Alduin as described in the quest "Alduin's Wall". They are family in sense of a human perspective but Dragons don't have family, they have pawns and kings. The pawns are men potentially and lesser Dragon alike, and the Dragonborn is not family, nor a pawn, nor family in a human or mer perspective, the Dragonborn is an enemy. Of course that changes in the perspective in human and mer alike of what playthrough you choose for which quests but alas the Dragons cannot and will not comprehend human concepts at all such as "family" or "siblings" as that has been introduced to them by man or mer alike, hence I am guessing they are using it as a mockery when you greet Alduin at Kynsegrove.

They are as much siblings as humanoid robots could be siblings to one another. If Mega Man and Proto-Man can be brothers, why not the Dragonborn and Alduin.
All creations of a shared maker could be considered kin.

not exactly, dragon souls are all shards off the soul of Akatosh. they are Splinters of him.
He doesn't create these Dragon Souls, he splinters off a piece of himself.

Presumably there is a mechanic when Alduin absorbs everything that allows him to reabsorb some of the Dragon Souls back into Akatosh (since until this Kappa Alduin was merely an Avatar of Akatosh rather than a separate entity)

Opinions differ (even amongst the NPCs in the game world).

I wouldn't worry too much about it ff your the Dragon Born. Until the Courier interrupts you in a dungeon to tell you Your "Bro" was taken to Jail for being drunk and disorderly and wants you to post bail.

No, Alduin was lost in a rift between time periods in the previous installments. In the lore, though, yes, that is what Alduin is for.

????
You do realise that there is only one Dragonborn protagonist?
Other versions are either an illusion or a multiverse version.

No as Skyrim is a single player game. Any "co-op" is something modded in. So they are not related unless the players are make believing they are.

Multiple versions of Skyrim is like multiple versions of a book. It is one story that each of us plays through as we see fit. Those who mod are telling their own story that is not part of the official lore.
