wizard. Look at Harry... He's at most in his 40's right now, and he's Warden, and Winter Knight. The Senior Council members are not only much older, but also much more powerful experienced. Chances are good that each of them have picked up some forms over power over the centuries.

Also, the Senior Council is a geritocracy. That does not lend itself to having specific jobs on the Senior Council, because just the fact that someone is old doesn't mean they'd be competent at whatever job has opened up.

People on the Senior Council are there because of their power, not age.

Not true. He became blackstaff "in 1884-1885 somewhere in there" but was the Captain of the Wardens prior to that (during the events of Fistful of Warlocks)
--- End quote ---
Yeah, but Captain of the Wardens is not a member of the Senior Council.

Sorry, my brain completely blanked over the word "Senior" this morning, thought they were saying he was Blackstaff before joining the Council (as a whole) in the first place. There just wasnt enough blood in my Caffeine System.... :P

Not a rigid one; there is age-based seniority, but for example McCoy was waaay down the list (took them a 1.2 hour of reading to get far enough down the list to reach him). And not only is he on the SC, he's the same age as the current Merlin.
