Your guess at secret power/mantles of the Council
Griffyn612:
I've said before that I like the idea of "Ancient" being a mantle rather than just an honorific. A mantle passed down in a bloodline that contains knowledge and power, and the person to replace Mai would be the new "Ancient". And that the knowledge and power itself helps keep the bearer alive longer, so there are few still alive when Mai took on the Ancient mantle.
I also like the idea of their being five or seven titles and mantles of Merlin, although the bearer doesn't actually have to be on the Senior Council. He could have been Merlin, Gatekeeper, Blsckstaff, and Warden. Maybe there's only one more, or maybe there's three more. Five to match his magical system, or seven for the seven seats.

We know there are actual outer gates, so I wonder if there is a border of life or river of time out there as well.

I'd say yes to both.
Oceanus seems like the best bet for both. It's the ocean "river" that encircles the world. It abuts Erebos (Outside?) and the underworld (Hadesville).
Time encircling the world as a river would be symbolically fitting as a divider between order and chaos.

Rashid has displayed playing around with Time... Perhaps he's more than just the Gatekeeper.

Eb was Blackstaff before he joined the Senior Council.
Langtry displayed the ability to communicate telepathically and faster than real-time.
