Can we get Charles Martinet to voice a character in ESO?

Some of you may remember the character that Charles Martinet voiced for TES V: Skyrim — Paarthurnax, an ancient dragon who has been around since the First Era. I really like the philosophical discussions that this character has with the player character.

So, I can think of two solutions that would make sense for casting Charles in ESO:

Bringing back Paarthurnax as a story character in a future storyline/expansion/season. We know this character is alive in the first through fourth eras, so a story set in the correct location in Tamriel's second era could feature him.
A new character made for Charles, such as a new Companion. So many people love Sharp-as-Night for his voice actor and personality, and I believe that a character voiced by Charles Martinet with similar philosophical discussions as Paarthurnax would be an instant fan favorite.

I'm a huge fan of Charles Martinet, and after getting to attend a live Q&A featuring him over the weekend, I'm confident that he would accept that role if he was asked to voice a character for The Elder Scrolls Online.

3. a moustached mperial Companion who loves dwemer technology and is a new Artificer class.
(legally distinct Mario would be funny)

Paarthurnax would be so awesome to see in ESO!
i hope we get to go to the Throat of the World in the future.
your second idea is nice too.

Charles has retired from voice acting, if I remember rightly.

While this is true, he has also admitted that he's not "retired retired", and would be thrilled to do voices again if he was asked back to do them. Here's a Q&A from last year where he confirms that he would be open to doing voices again if asked:

Regrettably, I didn't record the Q&A with him that I attended on the 26th, but I did directly ask him if he would be willing to voice a character for The Elder Scrolls Online, and he gave a very similar response as the one above. Whether his character from TES V: Skyrim is brought back or he is given a new character, it's possible he would accept such an offer!
