I'm a thousand miles away from The Demon was, according to Vlad (and we know how trustworthy *he* is), under 800, which is young, I guess, though not as young as Morrolan. > my books right now, though, so I can't check that.

I've got to think Kragar is close to a thousand. I have no reason, other than that he had a failed career as a Dragon and, as you said, he probably took a while to get himself drummed out of the House. Add on to that a career in the Jhereg (which I suppose could have been as meteoric as Vlad's, though I find it unlikely), and you've got a pretty long time to have lived. Of course, this is assuming that anything said in the books about Kragar's past is true, but you've got to start somewhere. -Dennis
