That's Fabius Bile, basically the Dr. Frankenstein/Mengele of the 40k universe and one of the main Chaos characters.

Does he live in the Horus Heresy era or the 40k era?

Both. He was an Apothecary of the Emperor's Children legion in 30k, and is sort of an independent chaotic dude in 40k.

He was around in the Heresy (and was basically responsible for the body modifications the Emperor's Children started sporting during their fall to Chaos - basically his goal is to 'perfect' the physiology of a Space Marine beyond what even the Emperor was able to do).
Due to the vagaries of the Warp, he's still alive in the 41st Millenium, just like Ahriman, Abaddon, Lucius and Kharn.

Can Space Marines really live that long.....
so is it fair to say there are HH era space marines that are still fighting in the year 40,000?
I know Cipher is someone that is still alive from HH era

Normal marines can't (well, probably can't) live that long. Stick around in the Warp for long enough, though...

Dante is usually cited as the oldest living Space Marine and he's only around a thousand years old. The 30k figures who have stuck around have all benefitted from Chaos/daemonic influence and the nonlinear nature of time in the Warp; one of the reasons the Fallen are so difficult to find, for instance, is that they were scattered though time as well as space.
(As a secondary note I don't think any species' natural lifespan actually extends back that far, everyone I can think of is cheating somehow (Eldrad is a Farseer who's in the process of crystallizing, Bjorn is in a Dreadnaught and he's still going senile, the Necrons are actually dead, the Daemon Primarchs are Daemons...))

Didn't he go independent after the Heresy? I recall reading that he went off and started offering his services to any warband who's willing to give him the equipment he needs to experiment with.

Oh that's Gary the Guardian. Normally he's an untenured ABD undergrad poetry adjunct specializing in the pre-fall haikus of the Sunflower Sector while also working as a barista on level 432 part-time to help make ends meet but during the great Chaos Incursion he as issued a rifle with 12" range, a suit of armor on par with a flak vest and sent to fight an army of 10,000 year old psycho demon worshipers.
And they wonder why the Eldar are a dying race
Or did you mean the guy on the right?

Didn't Bile learn some of his skills from Dark Eldar Haemonculi?
I've always found that piece of fluff a bit odd, since he (or at least his legion) is devoted to Slaanesh and all Eldar fear "She who thirsts", especially Dark Eldar.

You are assuming he's used Haemonculi tech to extend his life. I've not read anything that specifies how long the life span of an Eldar is, and nothing to suggest that the more long lived Dark Eldar like Vect and Lelith Hesperax have used the Haemonculi to extend their lives.

Fabulous Bill (some call him Fabius Bile, that's cool too). Former apothecary of the Emperor's Children legion. Now just an all around quasi Dr Frunkenstein. Sells his services to traitor legions and marine warbands to help them create new space marines or enhance the current marines that they have.

Other claims to fame - successfully created a viable clone of Horus Lupercal from the Warmaster's corpse, and had the common sense to GTFO before the surviving Justaerin and Abbadon turned up to complain.

Most of the eldar fluff, specially on the past said Eldar easily lived into a millenia(codex 2nd edition), so in general 2-3 thousand years may be feasible for really long lived Eldars.
Only Vect and Eldrad lore was somehow rewritten to be 10.000 years old without never explainning if that was an anomality or common among some eldars.
P.S: about the shattering, i'm not well versed but i do know Lugganath sustained 2 maybe 3 invasions or attacks from Chaos, guess it's related to any of those.

Not to mention Dark Eldar Haemonculi. IIRC, he helped one in putting together a tower of living flesh and in turn was taught some of their tricks and permitted to leave commoragh intact

Fabius Bile's Raison d'Etre is threefold.
To be famed through committing atrocities,
To create the 'New Man' (perfect warriors exceeding the prowess of space marines),
and
Supplying renegade/traitor forces with the facilities and abilities to create new marines (this is normally a struggle when geneseed is easily corroded by warptaint).
I think the third point is basically his day job to give him the resources and security required to achieve the first two points in relative safety.

Yeah the fluff quite strongly leans towards eldar life-spans being a couple of thousand years.
Dark Eldar can prolong their life pretty much indefinitely through their soul drinking technomancy.
There's also quite a solid theory (that I personally really like) about Eldrad that explains his shoe-horning into Horus Heresy novels.
'Eldrad Ulthran' actually translates to 'eldest seer of Ulthwe' or something like that. It's a title, like Cypher.
There have probably been quite a few 'Eldrads' since the Horus Heresy, each wearing the ceremonial armour of their office.
Fabulous Bill also extends his life through cloning of organs and other such things alongside the wibbly-warpy timey-wimey shenanigans that regular Chaos Marines experience.
