She might be the exception that proves the rule... As in human longevity, the average life span for a healthy human is between 75 - 90 years of age..  Some die a lot younger and few live to be a lot older even to 114 to 120 years of age.  So I think that can be translated to wizards, as in average healthy wizard life spans are 300 -400 years of age, some die earlier, and a few live to be 500 or more years of age.

morriswalters:
I have no idea of how old the Gatekeeper is.  But a best guess is that he has lived large portions of his life in an area where time moves at a different rate. Jim has paid some service to Einstein. Think of Rashid riding a relativistic shuttle. When he gets up near the speed of light he's no longer simultaneous with the world. Only when he slows down and reengages with our reality does he age at the rate we do.

vultur:
Yeah I think Rashid has to be a case of NN time flow differences. He can be younger than Ancient Mai in their personal timeline (has experienced fewer years) though much older in terms of birth dates.
