Thank you.

I think I misremembered Savn - I think he was a bit younger than I said,
but I don't have that book at hand.

But from Phoenix Guards we have Khaavren about 95 in the first scene,
corresponding to a teenager just starting out - 16?  14 to 18?

On the other hand, maybe I'm inflating the corresponding Earth age.  Wm
Bonney started out at 11 or 12 IIRC.  But I would think without benefit of
an Equalizer, a few more years, pounds and inches would be helpful.
