Marcone's Age @ SF
Thatguywhocomesaround:
I can't buy him being over 31-35 in SF. Okay, a little - but it in my head it fits more. Of course, this is fiction and Marcone has displayed some slightly superhuman feats. He's extremely athletic.
Able to speed attack supernatural creatures with knife attacks, dodge an attacking flying Nicodemus, throw a knife through a rope, jump across a detaching train. He's done several things physically early in the series which points to him being younger.
Not to say someone upper middle aged and over can't be physically capable, but it catches up to you, does it not? Murphy for example - a big part about last book was her injury and her getting older. Harry and Murphy are about the same age - Marcone has anywhere from five to twenty years on them (we'll assume based on this thread) yet has consistently shown to have superior reflexes, physical prowess, and speed in some regards.

Do you think Hugh Jackman could do those things? Because he's 48 right now. The same age as Marcone in DM if he was 45 in SF. I don't recall Marcone doing anything that a physically fit former Marine couldn't do, even into his fifties.
Hell, Scott Glenn is a former Marine that could do most of what Marcone does, and he's 76.

In white knight, Harry describes him as a "extremely fit 40 year old" but with the caveat that he has looked that way ever since Harry has known him.
If we take the 40 years correctly at time of white knight, that would make him 33 at time of storm front.

Thanks rhetoric for providing quotes that somehow I overlooked til another alluded to them.
To be fair, I often use two browsers both edge and chrome on this site. For some reason, I can't format in edge, so if I bring up the website in edge and want to do any formatting, I change to chrome. This website also takes time to load or update after I post so it gets kinda sluggish. Anyways I missed them, so this is me recognizing them. :)

Harry, himself, noted that there were small changes in Marcone's appearance from the Beckitt soulgaze that seem to make a significant difference in Marcone's overall appearance. To be taken as a serious threat and criminal leader he had to appear as a serious threat and criminal leader and less like the adult but roguish image that Harry saw in the soulgaze.
