Early Life
Elliot was born in Chadwell, in Estmere on the 28th October, 1975. His father, Arthur Elliot, was a senior diplomat who served as ambassador to Estmere from 1973-1983. Elliot would remain in Estmere untill 1983, when Republican Paramilitaries, such as the Republican Free Army, and Monarchist Paramilitaries reached a cease fire with the Satavian Government. Upon his return to Satavia at age 13, Elliot gained a Scholarship to a Private School, from where, at age 18, he went to King's College Jago, where he achieved a first (A) in History and recieved a minor in Journalism. He joined the Hope Post in 1998, and because of his prior experience and "excellent writing abilites", he was appointed as one of the paper's Foreign Correspondents later that year. In 2001, he became editor of the paper, following his nomination by outgoing editor James Craig. In 2008, he stood, succesfully, for election as MP for Arthur's Point West.

Elliot stood and was elected as MP for Arthur's Point West in the 2008 Satavian General Election.

In 2015, he was given the opposition role of Shadow Foreign Minister. He stepped down from that role in 2016, to become leader of the Conservative Party.
