Skott Zaragulov

Skott Zaragulov-Sarot, also known by his acronym SZS, is a Korolian politician from the United Commonwealth. He is the adopted son of USSE politician David Van Sarot, from who he takes inspiration for his political ideology.

He is currently serving as a member of the Sejm for the Alliance of Social Democrats since the elections of 1073 ACA, and is a member of the Party's Hard-left.

Orphan in Zlatoport
It is unknown who Skott's true parents were as he was mysteriously found outside one of the orphanages in Zlatoport with no signs of whoever might have put him there. The orphanage he was in was the Eldham headquarters of the Lazo orphanage organisation, which at the time of his birth was only beginning its expansion into the continent after decades of being primarily based in Rathnir.

Due to the good conditions of Lazo orphanages Skott was able to grow up with a very high quality of life. He was raised to be athletic, healthy, and well-educated. Although in general he wasn't the best student at school and actually had pretty average grades.

In his teens Skott increasingly became interested in geopolitics and diplomacy. At a mere 14 he joined a small group known as the "Korolian Unification Camp", which was a small local club made up mostly of youth who advocated for Korolian Nationalism and for the United Commonwealth to expand its borders, but otherwise was pretty big tent in terms of its ideologies, and Skott at first was along the Far-right of the organisation. It is important to note that at this point the Pjervod was the infamous and controversial Alexei Vargas, the man whose tenure caused the Orange Revolution, in which Skott was a participant albeit a minor one.

At the same time he joined the KUC, Skott began researching more about his orphanage and specifically its founder: Maxwell Lazo. And in the several months of research, as he found out more about Lazo, Skott shifted to the Left and adopted the Aldakanean Liberal-Socialist ideology of "Valleismo", although he stayed a member of the KUC until he enrolled in the national universty. And at the age of 20 he graduated from university with degrees in Linguistics, Geopolitics, and Social Science.

Political Activities
Upon his graduation Skott became a member of the Alliance of Social Democrats and also of the board of the Zlatoport Lazo Orphanage, which is how he met David Van Sarot, the United Socialist States of Eldham's new diplomatic representative in the nation who just so happened to be the former head of Lazo orphanages. As the two got along and found out about their similar political ideals and interest in Lazo; David offered to adopt Skott so he could sponsor his political aspirations, which Skott accepted, and the two for the first time had real family.

Following his adoptation, with support from his father, Skott joined the Alliance of Social Democrats and quickly rose through the ranks to the point he was appointed Deputy Leader by the age of 25. He was also announced as one of the ASD's candidates for the upcoming elections of 1073 ACA, and proved himself an active and efficient campaigner for the party, which was expected to be expelled from the Sejm by the Press. Skott became so popular, in fact, that the leader of the ASD, former Pjervod Tim Lucid, stated that he will give up his seat to him if the ASD remains in parliament.

Thankfully for the ASD; it was able to surprise many and won fourth place in the elections, barely winning its single seat as it placed behind the previously dominant League of Commonwealth Patriots, the Democratic Commonwealth Party, and the victorious Reform Union. And, as promised, Tim Lucid's seat was given up to Skott. And from his inauguration Skott made his intentions clear; to prove that the Left is still worthy of governing the Commonwealth.
