--- Quote from: Maz on January 23, 2020, 04:06:12 PM --- We don't know specifically how old Bob is. What we do know is Bob was bound to the skull by Etienne the Enchanter during the Middle Ages. So Bob is at least that old.
--- End quote ---
Bob is a thousand years old, per WoJ.
When I hear such a round number, I usually presume some sort of rounding, that it is not exactly 1000 but approximately.
This puts Bob's birth/creation/etc remarkably close to the same timeframe Jim has alluded to before, with momentous events...

I've got a theory that Bob's supernatural parent is Mab and that's in part the reason why he's so afraid of her.

We know exactly why Bob is terrified of Mab. We learned it in... uh, Cold Days I think.
Crap. Now I have to go back and re-read all the books. My Dresden knowledge is fading!

--- Quote from: Blood Rites ---"Because I've got about six hundred years' worth of memories to sort through, and I'm exhausted," Bob said, his voice softer, as though coming from far away. "But you can be pretty sure that whoever is backing a death curse isn't real friendly."
--- End quote ---
It would seem that Bob disagrees.

I think the quote from Blood Rites is a bit misleading because at least part of his memories are
being blocked by him on orders from Harry. Those were the years when he was in Kemmler's keeping. One could argue they weren't that many in the whole of Bob's life, but at the same time
it shows that Bob can be selective as to his memories.. So how much else is he forgetting on purpose? So his recall of years of memory cannot be relied on as an accurate gauge for his age.
