Elliot was born and raised in [[Estmere]], where his father, [[Arthur Elliot]], was first {{wpl|Cultural attaché}}, and then [[List of ambassadors of Satavia to Estmere|ambassador of Satavia to Estmere]] following the 1976 revolution. Elliot would return to Satavia in 1985 after his father's term as ambassador ended but soon left for Estmere once again as he completed his education at the prestigious and highly selective [[Wyndsom College]], a favoured school for the Satavian elite, before attending the [[University of Morwall]] where he earned a degree in journalism. Elliot returned to Satavia where he joined the [[Satavian Naval Service]] and attended the [[Port Hope|Port Hope Naval Academy]]. In 2002, Elliot, at the time a {{wpl|Lieutenant commander}} aboard [[SNV Northport|SNV ''Northport'']], was involved in the controversial [[Northport incident|''Northport'' incident]]. In the course of a storm, ''Northport'', at the time engaging in naval exercises in the [[Van Horn straight]], collided with a larger vessel, SNV ''Hondeberg''. ''Northport's'' commander and executive officer were both knocked out when the ships collided, leaving Elliot in effective command. The collision had left the ''Northport'' with significant damage, and after twenty minutes spent attempting to stop the ship from taking on water, Elliot gave the controversial decision to {{wpl|abandon ship}}. A military tribunal found that Elliot's actions were justified, and that had the ship not been abandoned there was a "high probability of fatalities". However, following the incident, Elliot's career within the Naval Service stalled and lead him to leave the service in 2004. He joined [[The Hope Post]], Satavia's most widely circulated paper, later that year as a {{wpl|foreign correspondent}} in [[Morwall]] and later in [[Verlois]], [[Gaullica]]. By 2006, Elliot had become deputy editor, and in December that year became the paper's editor. Elliot stood down as the Post's editor in 2008 to contest the [[Hope Province|Division of Cape Devon]] in the [[Hope Province]] on behalf of the [[Conservative & Country party]], winning the seat and overturning a [[United Party (Satavia)|United party]] majority in the process.

Elliot soon proved himself a capable politician, and, assisted by his contacts in Satavia's media, soon rose through the ranks of the Conservative party. In January 2009, Elliot became the [[Cabinet of Satavia|Foreign Secretary]] under the government of [[Edward Norton|Teddy Norton]], before being promoted to [[Cabinet of Satavia|Treasurer]] in the December 2009 cabinet reshuffle. In January 2010, Norton's wife and eldest son were killed in a car crash which prompted the enormously popular Prime Minister to announce his retirement from politics. In the [[Jago Elliot#Prime Minister|2010 Conservative & Country party leadership election]], Elliot was eventually elected leader of the Conservative & Country party, becoming Prime Minister on 18 June 2012, aged 38. Elliot's first stint as Prime Minister was successful, as Satavia emerged from its recovery phase in response to the [[2005 financial crisis]]. Elliot won re-election in [[2013 Satavian federal election|2013]], preserving his government's majority. Elliot's education and fiscal policies were incredibly successful, and by 2014 his government found itself boasting incredibly high approval ratings (77% at its peak in January 2014). On 5 February 2017, Treasurer [[Ella van Schalkwyk]] informed Elliot that she had tabled a no-confidence motion with the {{wpl|1922 Committee|Country Club}}, the {{wpl|parliamentary group}} of Conservative & Country MPs. On Friday 7 February 2017, the Club held the no-confidence vote, which Elliot lost by one vote. Ella Van Schalkwyk was regarded as more right-wing than Elliot, and many Conservatives were worried the party was being dragged too far left. Elliot held a tearful resignation speech on Sunday evening, the 9 February, and was replaced by Van Schalkwyk later that evening. Ella Van Schalkwyk's purge of the party and cabinet lead to her defeat in the [[2017 Satavian federal election]] to the Liberal party's [[Jan McKinley]]. The media was generally against Elliot's removal, as was the vast majority of voters. Elliot remained an MP until he resigned in 2018, leading to a by-election that the Conservatives won. In 2020, former close ally [[Arthur Warwick]] and the new leader of the Conservative & Country party, invited Elliot to be his running mate for the [[2020 Satavian federal election]]. The election victory was a landslide, and consequently, Elliot replaced [[Helena Warwick]] as President. Elliot and Warwick won re-election in [[2022 Satavian federal election|2022]].

Jago Arthur Pieter Elliot DSM PC (born 28 October 1973) is a Satavian politician, journalist and author who has served as President of Satavia since August 2020. Previously he served as Prime Minister from 2012 until his resignation in 2017. Elliot was the Member of Parliament for Cape Devon from 2008 until 2018, after he become the first Conservative to win the seat since its formation in 1984.

Elliot was born and raised in Estmere, where his father, Arthur Elliot, was first Cultural attaché, and then ambassador of Satavia to Estmere following the 1976 revolution. Elliot would return to Satavia in 1985 after his father's term as ambassador ended but soon left for Estmere once again as he completed his education at the prestigious and highly selective Wyndsom College, a favoured school for the Satavian elite, before attending the University of Morwall where he earned a degree in journalism. Elliot returned to Satavia where he joined the Satavian Naval Service and attended the Port Hope Naval Academy. In 2002, Elliot, at the time a Lieutenant commander aboard SNV Northport, was involved in the controversial Northport incident. In the course of a storm, Northport, at the time engaging in naval exercises in the Van Horn straight, collided with a larger vessel, SNV Hondeberg. Northport's commander and executive officer were both knocked out when the ships collided, leaving Elliot in effective command. The collision had left the Northport with significant damage, and after twenty minutes spent attempting to stop the ship from taking on water, Elliot gave the controversial decision to abandon ship. A military tribunal found that Elliot's actions were justified, and that had the ship not been abandoned there was a "high probability of fatalities". However, following the incident, Elliot's career within the Naval Service stalled and lead him to leave the service in 2004. He joined The Hope Post, Satavia's most widely circulated paper, later that year as a foreign correspondent in Morwall and later in Verlois, Gaullica. By 2006, Elliot had become deputy editor, and in December that year became the paper's editor. Elliot stood down as the Post's editor in 2008 to contest the Division of Cape Devon in the Hope Province on behalf of the Conservative & Country party, winning the seat and overturning a United party majority in the process.

Elliot soon proved himself a capable politician, and, assisted by his contacts in Satavia's media, soon rose through the ranks of the Conservative party. In January 2009, Elliot became the Foreign Secretary under the government of Teddy Norton, before being promoted to Treasurer in the December 2009 cabinet reshuffle. In January 2010, Norton's wife and eldest son were killed in a car crash which prompted the enormously popular Prime Minister to announce his retirement from politics. In the 2010 Conservative & Country party leadership election, Elliot was eventually elected leader of the Conservative & Country party, becoming Prime Minister on 18 June 2012, aged 38. Elliot's first stint as Prime Minister was successful, as Satavia emerged from its recovery phase in response to the 2005 financial crisis. Elliot won re-election in 2013, preserving his government's majority. Elliot's education and fiscal policies were incredibly successful, and by 2014 his government found itself boasting incredibly high approval ratings (77% at its peak in January 2014). On 5 February 2017, Treasurer Ella van Schalkwyk informed Elliot that she had tabled a no-confidence motion with the Country Club, the parliamentary group of Conservative & Country MPs. On Friday 7 February 2017, the Club held the no-confidence vote, which Elliot lost by one vote. Ella Van Schalkwyk was regarded as more right-wing than Elliot, and many Conservatives were worried the party was being dragged too far left. Elliot held a tearful resignation speech on Sunday evening, the 9 February, and was replaced by Van Schalkwyk later that evening. Ella Van Schalkwyk's purge of the party and cabinet lead to her defeat in the 2017 Satavian federal election to the Liberal party's Jan McKinley. The media was generally against Elliot's removal, as was the vast majority of voters. Elliot remained an MP until he resigned in 2018, leading to a by-election that the Conservatives won. In 2020, former close ally Arthur Warwick and the new leader of the Conservative & Country party, invited Elliot to be his running mate for the 2020 Satavian federal election. The election victory was a landslide, and consequently, Elliot replaced Helena Warwick as President. Elliot and Warwick won re-election in 2022.
