One response to “Episode 30: Let’s Talk About Characters!”
As far as older characters in Exalted go, the 1e Caste and Aspect books had several. The Bull of the North and Admiral Sand are both older and Karal Fire Orchid had a 40 year career in the Lookshy military and was retired before she exalted as a Zenith.
