The UESP answers the "Who is Jagar Tharn?" question well.

In Morrowind, he is only mentioned in books. This makes sense since he is an important historical figure who was defeated almost thirty years before the beginning of TES3.

 

List of books he is mentioned in (Source: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Jagar_Tharn).

* The Real Barenziah, in particular volumes IX and X. (This is primary reference to Jagar Tharn)

* Brief History of the Empire, Part 4 (some information about his rule over Tamriel)

* A Life of Uriel Septim VII (Tharn as s ruler over Tamriel)

* The Light and the Dark (mentioning Tharn's connection to the Evil)

* Response to Bero's Speech (Tharn as a Battlemage)

* Mystery of Talara, v 4 (Tharn mentioned, with some additional information)

* Words and Philosophy (Tharn mentioned)

* The Doors of Oblivion (Tharn mentioned)

* A Dance in Fire, Chapter 7 (Tharn mentioned)

* Hallgerd's Tale (Tharn mentioned)

* Confessions Of A Thief (Tharn mentioned)

It could be premised(probably only by me)that Jagar Tharn's machinations led directly to the extinction of the Septim line.

And yes, TESI Arena was all about him as the Royal Battlemage betraying his Emperor, sending him to Oblivion, and assuming the Throne disguised as the Emperor.
