The Older Immortal	comment	In a group of immortals, (or very Long-Lived people) there will be at least one who is considerably older than any of the others. If most of them are 200 years old, one will be 600, or 1000. If most are 600 or 1000 years old, one will be 2000 or 3000 years old. And so on, possibly to Time Abyss status. These are The Older Immortal. This way you can have age contrasts and generational tropes between people when all of them are really old. After all, it's hard to pull off The Patriarch in a family of immortals unless you're a good deal older than the rest. It can also be used for comedy or misdirection if the oldest looks the youngest. Not to be confused with Elderly Immortal, an immortal who appears physically old, who may or may not fit this trope.

She was already an accomplished archmage whose knowledge of magic extends far back beyond the title character's epoch. Kraft the monk is implied to be even older than Serie given that she looks still like a teenager at most while he looks like a full-grown man. He's so old that the legendary events he was once upon a time renowned for in the same vein as Frieren's party has been so lost to time that even the over 1000 year old Frieren has no inkling of what he's done.

The Older Immortal / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: Head Captain Yamamoto is over 2000 years old, given that in flashbacks to 1000 years ago he appeared to be in about his forties. With the exception of Captain Unohana (who was another original member of the Gotei 13 over 1000 years ago) and possibly Captains Kyouraku and Ukitake, the next-oldest shinigami only have a few centuries to their names. A flashback shows Kyoraku as a child. Kyoraku is at least 500 years old. Yamamoto is middle-aged in said flashback. Yhwach, leader of the Vandenreich, is at least a millennium old, though he was sealed away for at least 900 years of those years. Most likely he's much older than that. Members of the Royal Guard are very likely as old as Soul Society itself. One of them even invented terms like "Zanpakuto", "Shikai", and "Bankai", and is implied to be at least a million years old.

Of the four Pillar Men shown in the series, Santana and Whamuu are roughly ten thousand years old, Esidisi is an unknown amount older (old enough to be an adult when Santana and Whamuu were still babies) and Kars is roughly one hundred thousand years old. Notably, all four of them appear to be in their physical prime, which raises the question of how old the elderly Pillar Woman (old enough to have wrinkled skin and grey hair) shown in a flashback detailing Kars' origin was.

As such for a time Yuuta at over 500 was the older immortal to Mana who was 15 when they met and she became immortal (by the time of the series end Mana is roughly 30). Both are easily eclipsed when they met the young boy Masato who turned out to be over 800 years old.

Unlike Manji, however, who has only recently become an immortal and thus hasn't even outlived his natural human lifespan, Eiku is over 200 years old, having been granted the Bloodworms during the Muromachi period. Of course, both of them are outdone by Yaobikuni ("Nun of 800 Years"), the old woman who made both of them immortal in the first place.

According to the man himself, it all starts to blur prior to the first Quickening (that he can remember, that is), and he has no memory at all of his first death or the "mortal" life prior to it. Several characters point out that his history is so vast and ancient that even fellow Immortals (who mostly think of him as a myth) can't begin to assume anything about what he's like or how he thinks.

Mab and Titania are said to have not exchanged words since Hastings, presumably the noted Battle of Hastings of 1066. And their mothers, Mother Summer and Mother Winter, are even older.

Most of the golems in Ankh-Morpork are centuries old. Anghammarad in Going Postal is nineteen thousand years old. Then in Making Money Adora Belle Dearheart discovers four thousand golems built by one of the earliest civilisations on the Disc. They're reckoned as between twenty and sixty thousand years old. The Magpyrs are a family of vampires that have trained away their traditional weaknesses, while developing new powers that allow them to mentally enslave humans in order to serve as cattle for a steady supply of blood. When the humans break free and come together to annihilate them, the Old Count and uncle to the Magpyr patriarch is summoned, looking like a very traditional and campy vampire in the style of Bela Lugosi. Despite his silly demeanor, the Old Count is implied to be far more powerful than the rest of his family, and he easily cows them into submission, imparting on them that being silly and full of weaknesses means that the humans won't see you as that big a threat, and let you live (or unlive) to drink blood another day instead of turning you into dust and spreading the ashes off the edge of the Rim.

The Older Immortal / int_56e10d85	comment	Tolkien's Legendarium: This often happens due to several long-lived and immortal races, because the respective older ones either survive their peers or simply happen to live among a different group whose members are younger and less powerful. The epitome of this is Tom Bombadil, who is called "The Eldest" by all the races and is described as being ancient by both Gandalf and Treebeard, two of the oldest characters in the series. He even calls himself the First and the Fatherless. This implies he is the oldest living thing (possibly the very first living thing) in Middle-earth. Among the elves, Elrond is over 6000 years old, and Galadriel is even older, having been born before the sun came into existence. They're both children to Cirdan, who was possibly one of the first elves who awoke in Middle-Earth. When he sailed into the West at the close of the third age, Cirdan was nearly 11,000 years, at least.

The Older Immortal / int_5dbbf8fb	comment	Night Watch (Series): The Others' aging process slows down to an immeasurable crawl after Initiation (except for children who continue to age until maturity). The most powerful Others can expect to live for millennia, and even the weakest Others can expect at least a few centuries. The head of the Moscow Night Watch is named Gesar. If we are to assume that he is the same Gesar as described in the Epic of King Gesar, then he would be at least 800 years old. The novels imply that he's even older than that, having fought the Dark Others in the time before the Grand Treaty. He is familiar with a much older Other named Rustam, who had since retreated into the Twilight. Rustam knew Merlin, one of the most powerful Others in history. Gesar's Arch-Enemy Zabulon is also pretty old, although his age is never stated or even hinted (he's implied to be either English or Irish although later revealed to be Judean). While his chosen name comes from The Bible, Word of God is that the novel's Zabulon is not that guy. The novel Sixth Watch has three extremely old Others: two of them are vampires (a Cro-Magnon and a Neanderthal) and one is a shapeshifter (a weresmilodon, as in "sabertooth"). This is explained as vampires being the first kind of Others to appear in the world (absorbing magic through the most rudimentary method possible — blood), followed by shapeshifters (evolving to absorbing magic through meat) and witches (nature-based magic). Mages appeared much later.

The Older Immortal / int_5e150650	comment	Exalted: Most of the Exalted get extreme longevity as part of their package, but Chejop Kejak of the Sidereal Exalted is perhaps the oldest Exalted still alive. He was born shortly after the Primordial War and was one of the architects of the Usurpation that cast down the Solar Exalted when they started giving in to megalomania. Problem is, unlike other Exalted, the Sidereals have a very set lifespan of 5,000 years post-Exaltation... and he's at 4,999. Give or take. Third Edition introduces someone even older than Kejak: Rakan Thulio, a renegade Sidereal who has avoided his expiration date by tearing his thread from the Loom of Fate after realizing his lover dumping him was the result of celestial malfeasance. He does not age as a result, and he has spent that time unsealing and shepherding the Getimian Exalted, made up of people who were likewise screwed by fate.

Word of God is that Mr. Immortal (who is absolutely immune to death) of the Great Lakes Avengers will live to see the end of the universe, implying that he'll take Galactus's place in the next one. Also, the Elders of the Universe, each of whom is the last living member of one of the first races to evolve. Also, Loki's Asgardian acquaintances and occasional Caper Crew include a guy named Sigurd, who happens to be one of the oldest alive (around the age of Odin). This fact is generally not obvious because he doesn't look like it, but he himself has noted he's been at the hero thing far longer than Thor and is a far older god than Loki.

The Older Immortal / int_68237790	comment	Pathfinder: Pharasma is the eldest god alive, predating the current incarnation of the universe. When the first gods came into being and explored the universe, Pharasma was already waiting for them. Concordance of Rivals reveals that she is in fact the Sole Survivor of the previous iteration of the multiverse, and created The Wall Around the World to protect the young existence from Those Who Remain. Magrim is the elder of the three firstborn dwarven gods, and views most other deities as young and brash to some degree. Pharasma is the only deity he treats as an honored elder. Charon, the Horseman of Death, is the oldest by far of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse that rule Abaddon. Predating human life, he is the only Horseman to have never died and been replaced. Asmodeus' version of his origin casts himself as one of the first two beings that emerged together into the new universe, and the only one still alive after he slew the other. Other accounts describe him as simply an empyreal lord who fell to evil, though an ancient and powerful one.

Queen Morwel of the Court of Stars has taken many consorts over the centuries, but none in Arborea can remember a time before her. Asmodeus, Baalzebul and Mephistopheles are mentioned as the original Fallen Angels who came to rule the Nine Hells of Baator in the Baatezu's creation myth (and some older, obscure lore has Asmodeus being merely the guise of a much older primordial force of evil). And among the demon lords, Pale Night, Dagon, Obox-Ob and Pazuzu are all Obyriths who ruled the Abyss before sentient life arose on the Material Plane, and are feared and respected even by the Tanar'ri who dominate the plane now — Dagon in particular is sought out as a (dangerous) source of obscure and forgotten lore. Forgotten Realms: Ao is the oldest known being on the Material Plane (he might be outmatched by Primordials or Obyriths, we don't really know). Following him, were Shar (goddess of night, darkness and nihilism) and SelÃ»ne (goddess of light, the moon, and lycanthropes) born from the creation leftovers in the Astral Sea. Following them, were their daughters, Chauntea, goddess of life, and Mystryl, (the first) goddess of magic. Other gods sprung up sporadically after that.

The Older Immortal / int_6b056d6e	comment	In Moonlight, Mick is relatively young for a vampire (he was turned shortly after World War II) and looks to be in his mid-30s. His friend Josef is well over 400 but looks to be in his 20s (the original unaired pilot had him more as an Elderly Immortal played by Rade Å erbedÅ¾ija). As a rule, vampires stop aging the moment they are turned (one of the episode villains is a 200-year-old teenager who wipes the floor with Mick). However, the older a vampire is, from the moment he or she is turned, the more his or her body smells of decay (to another vampire). Coraline is nearly as old as Josef. Lance is stated by Mick to smell very old and be capable of feats that shock Mick (e.g., harmlessly jumping from a great height, not turning to ash when exposed to fire). However, he may also be about Josef's vampiric age. Lance and Coraline are supposed to be vampire siblings. The oldest stated vampire on the show is Lora, whose age is somewhere around 700. After her activities force Mick to kill her, both Mick and Josef lament the loss of so much experience (Josef also had an on-and-off thing with her for the last century).

However, they live in fear of truly ancient vampires and the mythic Antediluvians, the vampires from before Noah's flood, thousands of years ago. And then there's the first vampire, Caine (yeah, that one), who managed to outlive the generation of vampires he directly created who, in turn, created the Antediluvians.

It is explained that gargoyles age at half the rate of a human, because they are made of stone during the day. In addition, the main group was Rip Van Winkle'd for 1000 years. Thus, when Hudson, who looks 60+, boasts that he is over 1100 years old in the episode where he is kidnapped by Xanatos, he is actually taking off a few years (decades) from his age.

When the humans break free and come together to annihilate them, the Old Count and uncle to the Magpyr patriarch is summoned, looking like a very traditional and campy vampire in the style of Bela Lugosi. Despite his silly demeanor, the Old Count is implied to be far more powerful than the rest of his family, and he easily cows them into submission, imparting on them that being silly and full of weaknesses means that the humans won't see you as that big a threat, and let you live (or unlive) to drink blood another day instead of turning you into dust and spreading the ashes off the edge of the Rim.

We're not sure how old Yukari Yakumo is other than she played a hand in the creation of Gensokyo (and it's probably not a good idea to ask), and Yuuka Kazami is so old that the local judge of the dead once told her that the sin she'd risk going to Hell for was that she has "lived a little too long."

The Older Immortal / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: You will run across thousand-year-old Eldar relatively frequently. Then you have people like Eldrad Ulthran and Asdrubael Vect, who are old enough to have been around before the Fall. Space Marines are often hundreds of years old, but the Dreadnoughts can be even older. Bjorn the Fell-Handed was around when his Primarch left for the Warp. The basis of the Space Marines are the Primarchs who are over 10,000 years old, but these Primarchs were made tens of thousands of years into our future. Their creator, the God-Emperor of Mankind, is an immortal from the distant past of the BC period, making him and other Perpetuals of his time, this trope to everything human in the Warhammer 40k setting. With all the gods and immortals running around (okay, not exactly running), you still can't beat the C'tan, who drove to extinction the first beings to exist. Among the Chaos Gods, Khorne is thought to have developed sentience a good couple of centuries before the others, even though "Grandfather" Nurgle is usually considered the "older" deity. Slaanesh inverts this trope by being many millennia younger than the others, having been created by the Fall of the Eldar some ten thousand years before the setting's present day, but due to the nature of time in the Warp, once Slaanesh came into existence Slaanesh had always existed.

Pandora Raven, however, prior to her most recent reset, held on to an identity for what can be inferred as being over 599 years which made her in some sense the oldest known Immortal.

Being one of the original Roanoke colonists, this is roughly how old Henry is at the time. The sequel, The Last American Vampire, provides further details. At the time of his death in 1898, Adam Plantagenet, the founder of the vampires' Union, was over 590 years old despite still looking like a teenager. By 2014, Henry is likely one of the oldest vampires left, being just over 450 years old.

The Older Immortal / int_bff01809	comment	Warhammer: Elves are long-lived but not explicitly ageless, and usually fade away and die of something akin to old age after a few millennia have passed. Then there's Morathi and her son Malekith, both of whom are over five thousand years old and the oldest elves in the setting by far. Morathi uses Blood Magic to stay ever-young, while Malekith simply seems to be too hateful to ever truly die. The tree spirits of Athel Loren are immortal, and can live forever if not destroyed. Even amongst them Durthu is considered ancient, being between 10 to 15,000 years old and older than the entire elven race. Kalgalanos and Krakanrok are the Monster Progenitors of their respective species — the Dragons and the Dragon Ogres — who inhabited the Warhammer world before the arrival of the Old Ones. Both are believed to still be alive but sleeping (Krakanrok was confirmed as such in Archaeon's backstory), meaning their ages are, at the very lowest estimate, over 15,000.

The Older Immortal / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: The franchise features a lot of very old Immortals with the Time Lords and the Eternals and the Guardians and what not... but there's also the Beast, who (by his own claims, at least) predates time itself. The Face of Boe is another contender for the title of oldest being in the universe, with his given age being billions of years old. He might also be Captain Jack Harkness, and given that he's been known to time travel, by the time he's the Face of Boe he could be older than the universe itself. Ashildr/Me ends up as this, surviving to the absolute end of time after all the other immortals are gone, watching the stars burn out in a reality bubble. Particularly impressive for someone who isn't invulnerable. Specifically, it has been established in the show that the universe will burn out, collapse and undergo a Big Crunch (and subsequently another Big Bang), sometime after the year 100,000,000,000,000 (100 trillion) CE. Even the Face of Boe has nothing on Me's lifespan. Then she acquired a TARDIS for herself and Clara, so if/when seen again could be several times as old as the universe. During her thirteenth incarnation, the Doctor herself is revealed to be the Timeless Child, a being that can infinitely regenerate and is the source of the Time Lords' Resurrective Immortality. She is also revealed to have lived an uncountable number of lives that predate the First Doctor, which have been wiped from both her memory and general knowledge. With that in mind, she is vastly older than Time Lord civilization itself, and in terms of age, is easily in Time Abyss territory.

It's not uncommon for a person to live for centuries, although 2000 is about the average max, since few tend to survive that long due to accidents, violence, wars, disease, cataclysms, etc. Living on a spaceship, French is safer than most planetary denizens, although even he always runs the risk of being vaporized during a jump. Graham French was born in the 21st century, making him over 20,000 years old by the time the novel takes place. However, subjectively, he is only about 2000, since he spends much of that time traveling at near-light speeds.

The Strength and Patience of the Hill, one such god and also the book's narrator, became sentient and self-aware around 500 million years ago (by Earth standards) and having spent the entirety of his existence as an immobile boulder he has slowly watched the spinnng of the galactic core and life evolve on the planet. He's old enough to have witnessed a previous generation of gods, The Ancient Ones, having driven themselves to extinction. The Myriad, another old god, landed on the planet as a meteor during the Ice Age and mentions having been sentient while she was still a celestial object, making her age impossible to guess.

The Older Immortal / int_f22d4818	comment	The Shadowhunter Chronicles: Magnus Bane is four centuries old, but he is still a child compared to Ragnor Fell, who was already an established warlock when Magnus was a boy. The Shadowhunter Codex mentions a handful of living warlocks hailing from the era before the Covenant between Jonathan Shadowhunter and Raziel, over a millennium ago. A short story in The Bane Chronicles focuses on a two millennia-old warlock named Aldous Nix who has been driven insane by his longevity and tries to open a portal to Pandemonium.

The Older Immortal / int_f3368832	comment	Buffyverse: The Master, the Prince of Lies, and Kakistos are all noted as so ancient that they've outgrown human features. The first two Look Like Orlok, while the last has cloven hooves instead of hands. No other vampires seen have shown any sign of happening yet, with the oldest known normal-looking vampire being Darla, at around 400. (Word of God previously stated The Master was about 600 years old, but as he had already stopped looking human when he sired Darla it has presumably been discarded.) The Master has inhuman features partly because Evil Makes You Ugly; he was "impressively" evil even before he became a vampire. Dracula, since he's not indicated to be anyone other than Vlad the Impaler, has over a century on Darla. He doesn't look animalistic but is unnaturally pale — as is Darla in Season 1 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Though Dracula is a very atypical vampire who, thanks to mastery of unspecified "gypsy magic", doesn't follow the usual Buffyverse rules. (We later see Darla without her pallor, but only a) as a resurrected human, b) as a remade, newly young vampire, and c) in flashbacks, the latest of which is set in 1900 when she was under 300. All of this is consistent with the idea that she began going white in her 300s, and that this is for at least some vampires the beginning of the dehumanising process.) Of the three truly ancient vampires, the Master and the Prince of Lies are both very pale. (Kakistos, on the other hand, is positively florid, but it's possible that different bloodlines or different individuals de-evolve differently, hence his cloven hooves.) At one point, the Mayor, who looks middle-aged but is roughly a century old, orders Angel to "respect your elders". Angel mocks him; Angel was turned into a vampire at age 26, but is roughly 240 years old.

The Older Immortal / int_f6c16bab	comment	From The Saga of Darren Shan, we have vampires who've mostly been around for a century or two, except for Paris Skyle, a vampire prince about 800 years old at the time of his death, which is said to be very old for a vampire. At the end of the series, Seba Nile becomes the oldest living vampire, being over 700 years old.

The Older Immortal / int_f74b5f80	comment	In Babylon 5, all the First Ones are functionally immortal, and thus immeasurably old. But Lorien, the guy they all kowtow to, is nothing less than THE First One, the first lifeform to achieve sapience in the Milky Way galaxy. The other First Ones are billions of years older than any of the current "younger" races, to the point of being borderline godlike. But to Lorien, they're still children, and when he speaks, they listen.

The Older Immortal / int_faf84cd	comment	In Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, this title belongs to either Beckett or Strauss. Neither state their ages outright, but refer to the 150+ old Prince LaCroix (who was an officer under Napoleon) as "young one". According to the tabletop game, Jack is just shy of 400 years old. Unlike the other two, he doesn't really act his age. If the real identity of the Taxi Driver from the endgame is what the Malkavian note an entire clan of Mad Oracles Player Character thinks he is, then he's older than any other living vampire (let alone those gathered in L.A.) by several thousand years.

The Older Immortal / int_fb9c177d	comment	Transformers: We don't even know if there's any upper limit for spark lifespan, but Cybertronians can last millions of years if they take care of themselves. Especially old ones tend to be Old Soldier types. We've got Kup from Generation 1, Ratchet (and other Great War veterans) in Animated, and Jetfire from the film series. Jetfire was only showing his age due to lack of energon, but he was still established as much older than the average Cybertronian. All of the above are practically children compared to Vector Prime, who was literally among the first robots to walk the face of Cybertron, and when asked his age, gives a figure of nine billion.
