Elliot was born in 4302. He disciplined his son harshly, seeking to instil his own traits in him. When Kazran came of age, he handed him his machine, which controlled the cloud belt of the planet, to use to control the people of the town "like cattle". Elliot used isomorphic controls to ensure it only worked for Kazran and himself. However, when the Eleventh Doctor changed Kazran's timeline and made him nicer, this meant that Elliot would never have programmed the machine for the man Kazran became.
