““Sure,” River said. “But I taught him. And he’s just about gotten to the end of his path.” He looked uncomfortable. “Lot of the wizards who matter are near the end. Hanging on hard.””

I think this is a clear indication that Eb is reaching the end of his path. My personal feeling is that the black staff is getting to him and he’s hanging on because he can’t trust anyone else to take it up.
I guess it could be a reference members of the senior council in general. Ancient Mai, or Martha Liberty in particular.
Grifter:
It does make you wonder if a lot of Council talent was culled in the Kemmler wars, followed by the Dresden wars, leaving only the most powerful (and by default aged) wizards capable of surviving. Was it all strategy to weaken them across a century in preparation for the BAT events?
Cadmium:
Good point. Aside from Morgan how many wizards have ween seen between 50 and 150 yards old
Second Aristh:
Luccio is the closest we know to that range, I think. It's hard to place Steed's age, though.

I think it's most of the Senior Council - Eb, the Merlin, Listens-to-Wind, Ancient Mai, the Gatekeeper at least.
Eb and the Merlin are the same age, so if Eb is fading, the Merlin should be too. River Shoulders seems to imply L-t-W's time is running out. Ancient Mai is even older. The Gatekeeper is way older and has presumably been 'cheating' via time dilation and stuff... maybe trying to hang on long enough for a replacement Starborn to be ready to take over the role?

Luccio is a bit over 200; she was growing up at the time of the War of 1812.
Cristos might not be that much older; he was suspiciously young for the Senior Council, shouldn't really have been considered in normal circumstances, and LaFortier was 279 (Eb and the Merlin are around 300) - so Cristos is probably in the lower half of his 200s.
But yeah, I don't think we have ages actually stated for any wizards in the 50-150 range. I'd kind of think the 'old guard' pre-Vampire-War Wardens (e.g. Steed/Chandler and Yoshimo) are largely in that age range, but we don't know.
