Ken Rolston was the lead designer of Bethesda Softworks and The Elder Scrolls throughout the mid to late 1990s and early 2000s.

Before joining Bethesda, Rolston designed for a number of pen-and-paper RPGs, including Dungeons & Dragons, Paranoia, and RuneQuest. Rolston departed Bethesda after the completion of Oblivion for what was thought to be permanent retirement after about 25 years in the Gaming Industry. However, this only lasted for about a year before he returned to work for Big Huge Games in February of 2007 as the lead designer for a brand new roleplaying IP called Crucible, which was unfortunately canceled due to THQ's (Big Huge Games's owner) financial difficulties. Big Huge Games was bought out by 38 Studios, and subsequently, the gameplay systems of Crucible were flipped around into a new game using 38's Kingdoms of Amalur IP, which was a singleplayer roleplaying game called Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.
