Now that Eldrad broke his O2 addiction during the 13th crusade... who is still alive and older then the rest?
One could argue Phoenix lords but I personally wouldn't count them as they are kinda dead...
Not counting gods (chaos or 'star vampires')...
Not counting the big dead guy on the golden toilet.

Off the top of my head it is something I actually don't know... and I'm usually really good at knowing more useless 40K lore than anyone I know (not sure if that is good or bad but it is true).

I think Logan Grimnar or Commander Dante (can never remember which is the elder) would be the oldest 'mortal' characters

I think it's that guy locked up in the middle of the Dark Angels Temple.....but I can't be sure. Super big secret! hehe.

yea but isnt "that guy" "suppose" to be "dead"? my god you have to " " ALOT when talking about GW lore sheesh.Im not even close to being sure but I do know you can rule out alot of races. prolly someone in the Imperium somewhere would be the oldest, that or in the Chaos, Im sure theres a few there that are just older then old

Well, Apoc has rules for Angron. Anyone older than a Primarch?

Cypher maybe?

Isn't Cypher derived from Primarch celss andtherefore younger than Angron, whom I mentioned above.

I'm not sure if any of the Primarchs who turned Daemon Prince count. They are Daemons... but perhaps.

If you count them then you may as well say it'd be one of the C'Tan... I was thinking more of the mortally alive types.

I'm thinking there has got to be some Eldar still around older than anyone from the Imperium. Remember Eldrad tried to warn the silly Emperor about Horus... Lord know how old he was then.

One thing we know. It is not a Tau.

Bjorn the Fell-Handed has been around since the Heresy. Mind you, he spent a lot of time in stasis, though.

yea like I said it wont be an Ork, they dont live THAT long. wasnt it like 200 years ish? humans are the same way, a little over 100 and they are pretty much there. yarrick is like 140 right? and those ages are babies compaired to others. Id put my money on some Eldar elder somewhere. damn elves.... I mean Eldar

Lucius the Eternal, Typhus, Kharn the Betrayer, Ahirim (or whatever his name is) of the thousand sons, Falbius Bile and Abbadon the Despoiler.
There's 6 pretty old blokes.

lucius? hes more a demon then anything man I mean really... the guy just doesnt die. Typhus and Kharn tho, Id agree there, those 2 are..... more or less not demons. Ahriman tho... I wouldnt count him for the age thing only because hes one of the greatest sorcerers out there, Im sure hes got some runes,charms,hexes on him that wont let him die just because.

Mekboy's got it.

Pretty much any named CSM or SM has a history back to the founding of the Adeptus Astartes.

Lucius is a huge douche bag in the Horus Heresy.

Argon? the daemon primarch of the word bearers?

For my vote of someone mortal I.E. not a demon, not on life support and has woken up in the last I don't know 10000 years. my vote is with chaplain casius. but Dante might be older.

vote goes to angron
but since we are going for mortal, i would guess abbadon, since he was origionally luna wolves
