Ted Peterson is a former designer and writer for Bethesda Softworks. He is seen as one of the main creators of The Elder Scrolls, alongside Julian LeFay and Vijay Lakshman. He was a designer for both The Elder Scrolls: Arena and The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, as well as a writer for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Additionally, he was a quest designer for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and wrote the contents of the Pocket Guide to the Empire, Third Edition, the chapter titles being written by Michael Kirkbride.

He is also the namesake for Sheogorath, "Sheogorath" being a corruption of Peterson's first name, Theodore.

In 2019, it was announced that Peterson and two other original creators of The Elder Scrolls, Julian LeFay and Vijay Lakshman, in an independent studio called OnceLost Games, were creating an open-world RPG called The Wayward Realms. They are also joined by the composer of Arena and Daggerfall, Eric Heberling. They have said that the project is the spiritual successor to Daggerfall.^{[citation needed]}
