OP specified no dreadnoughts, so it's Dante unless Cypher is loyal

Look at these people who disregard the OP.

Dante is the most concrete answer we can have.

Maybe Luther, if you for some reason count him.

Certainly Luther wouldn't apply as he was touched by Chaos, which although he couldn't strike his Primarch down due to guilt...I can't consider him Loyalist. So it is Dante for those that don't believe Cypher is Loyal.

I do believe Cypher is loyal, so my answer is Cypher.

if Dante's 1100 years old, and we are counting beings in the warp, my vote (cypher aside) is Lysander. Warp time 1k years, plus the time before his capture (he was a battle-hardened captain) he has to be older. Lexicanum puts his first notable action as a sgt of the 3rd stardate 567 M40, so factoring in scout training, his (at least) 13 year pilgrimage and the time to advance, i'd say he is prob close to 1500 years old.

Dante is older than Lysander. He isn't 1100 years old, he's been chapter master for over 1100 years, and his codex entry specifically mentions that even Lysander does not remember a time that Dante was not chapter master of the Blood Angels.

Would members of the thirteenth SW count as they are still loyal?

They're certainly the oldest loyalists yes, but the OP specified no warp shenanigans.
