Lebedev "Mighty Semchan" Semyon Bethesda Softworks is once again opening the gates of Tamriel—not just for adventurers, but for one wealthy bidder to become a permanent part of The Elder Scrolls universe. Through the Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity auction, one fan will earn the chance to collaborate with the developers and design an NPC for The Elder Scrolls VI.
But this isn’t just about choosing a name or appearance. The winner will work closely with Bethesda’s creative team to craft a character that could wield influence in the game’s lore. Whether a wandering scholar, a mysterious merchant, or even a legendary warrior, the possibilities seem endless. The winner could even integrate a digital version of themselves into Tamriel’s ever-expanding world.
At present, the leading bid stands at $11,050, though with the auction still underway, that number is bound to climb. Interestingly, Bethesda has remained tight-lipped about The Elder Scrolls VI’s release date, leaving fans in suspense as to when they’ll meet this exclusive new character.

If the auction’s winner opts to immortalize themselves in The Elder Scrolls VI, they will share this rare honor with Shirley Curry, the beloved “Skyrim Grandma,” whose likeness has already been confirmed for the game.
With no official launch date in sight, it’s likely that The Elder Scrolls VI won’t arrive before 2026—but when it does, one lucky fan’s legacy will be forever etched into its world.
