So, how old are the grandpas of the apocalypse really? Ft. - Jonah Magnus - Simon Fairchild - Peter Lukas - Maxwell Rayner
I MADE A PART 2 OF MY CHARACTER AGES RESEARCH (part 1 incl. og archives crew, 3 avatars + gerry here) after a few days of really wanting to detective the ages of this lot, i finally caved and decided to dig out the magnifying glass! same disclaimers apply! including an extra disclaimer to say that I've changed the formatting for this a lil because there was a Lot More Research done compared to part 1. Necessitated bc these mfs are OLD. (except for peter lukas. peter lukas is surprisingly young??)
(All ages are as of S1 / 2016 & the highlights are in bold if you don't feel like reading my essays)
Jonah Magnus
Age: ~216 Birth Year: ~1800
There are a few landmarks we can use, but because of how shady most are (old-ass letters) I also can’t pin down any solid dates because all the characters involved are fictional ._. Basically the only clues I got were: The Magnus Institute was established in 1818, but Jonah was old enough to travel alone to Germany and exchange letters with a friend (Albrecht von Closen) by 1816. So birthdate around ~1800? 1790?
I tried to find an ‘upper limit’ by using the life expectancy of the time since he also was able to live a ‘natural’ life until the (failed) Watcher’s Crown was carried out ‘at some point closely after February 13th, 1867’, BUT the average life expectancy of men was at most 41 years. So there was some Fairchild-esque shit going on there.
Simon Fairchild
Age: 439 - 488 Birth Year: 1528 - 1577
SPEAKING OF FAIRCHILD - sky grandpa! love him, he’s such a bastard. Anyway, in his own words, he’s had ‘an absurdly long life’. In MAG151 he says he was apprenticed to the Italian artist Tintoretto. Apprenticeships in the Renaissance started at approximately 11-14 years old & lasted for 1-8 years, and I’m assuming this was the same for the 1500s. Hopefully.
Given that Tintoretto became a renowned artist in ~1542, my estimate of the oldest Simon could be would be 14 in 1542. On the other end of the scale, Wikipedia says that his last notable work was Il Paradiso, finished from 1588–1594. I can’t find any mention of works post-1588 so this puts the absolute youngest Simon could be at 11 years old in 1588. From those two estimates, it was just a matter of mathing it out :)
Note 1: Simon mentions that his Becoming was while painting a church, likely a ceiling or high wall since he ‘should have broken his neck’, which should narrow it down – except it doesn’t, because Tintoretto painted a lot of churches x_x Note 2: I’ve just spent half an hour researching an Italian painter & art conventions in the 16th Century, which is of no relevance at all to my STEM degree in the 21st century. Simon’s age doesn’t even particularly matter because it was so long ago that the centuries quite literally blur together. This rabbit hole is incredibly fascinating, but this feels so ironically pointless, which is really, really fitting. Note 3: Simon definitely deserved to get ripped apart by the mob. His time has long, long passed lmao
Peter Lukas
Age: ~49-61 (at the very youngest; 36) Birth Year: late 1950s - late 1960s
Peter appears to be the youngest of these four – surprisingly so! – which makes it a lot simpler to pin down his age. He first meets JamesWright!Jonah between 1973 and 1996 & also he was old enough to have the option of watching TV when he was a child. TV became common in UK homes in the 1960s, so his birthdate at the earliest may be in the late 1950s/1960s.
However, he’s known Jonah as ‘Elias’ for most of their acquaintance by late 2018, meaning that they met at the earliest 1975 (21 years before 1996), but was probably more like 1980ish or later. I don’t think he would have met him too long after becoming an avatar some time after he became ‘old enough to run away’, which I’m assuming means he became aware of the Lonely when teenager-ish.
But spending some time on the Tundra before meeting other avatars makes sense for the Lonely, and so my vague estimate of his birth year would be late 1950s - late 1960s. I don’t think that his birthdate was anywhere later, though it is possible that it could have been as late as 1980 (if he began running away when very young & was introduced to ‘James Wright’ very early into avatar-hood), if incredibly unlikely.
Note: My ‘very youngest’ estimate for Peter Lukas is… younger than my estimate for Mike Crew’s age. I find this inordinately funny.
Maxwell Rayner
Age: 357 Birth Date: 8 November 1658
I have excellent news for Rayner! Good ol’ Jonny has made his original body Edmond Halley. A very famous person with a wikipedia page of his own that conveniently states his date of birth :)
Thanks, Jonny.
Rayner died in February 2017 at the age of 358 years 3 months 2 days, though he did spend a decent amount of time host-less. Unlike Gerard Keay, I’m unsure of how ‘alive’ he was during this time, so I’m just going to count it as ‘alive’-time because it means I get precise numbers for the first time since I started researching character ages!

The past few days my body has been trying to remind me that it is the boss. When that happens I turn inward and boost my mind and spirit with what I can control. Mainly words. Robert Frost and James Wright have always been poets that spoke to me. Wright being a midwestern drunk depressive and his battle to find beauty in the darkest places in life is fitting for now, and timeless. I hope you find some poetry inside your day. #HeidisReadingCorner #Books #Reading #Writing #Authors #Stories #JamesWright #Poetry #AboveTheRiver #ABlessing #TheJewel #Poems https://www.instagram.com/p/CALvZZ9gbL6/?igshid=1e4j9kpo6cxd6

2 Players the Bengals will miss that no one is talking enough about.
With uncertainty surrounding the play of Cedric Ogbuehi and Jake Fisher mixed with fans’ perceived disappointment with the inconsistency of Russell Bodine, it’s easy to concentrate on the free agent losses of Andrew Whitworth and Eric Zeitler. There are two other, more under the radar offseason losses, that will also be felt in the 2017 season, even if its not to the extent of the aforementioned linemen.
1. Rex Burkhead
Tumblr media
The question Pro Football Focus asked when Burkhead signed with the Patriots was “Did the Bengals just lose their best running back this offseason?” The answer, statistically speaking, is yes. His 4.6 yards per carry surpassed Jeremy Hill’s 3.8 and Giovanni Bernard’s 3.7.
But this wasn’t the only thing Burkhead did for the team. He was the ultimate ‘versatile player’ that the Bengals say they covet. This versatility was on full display going into the playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts in 2014. Burkhead played primarily at receiver. Receiver! And, he played well! 
A productive runner, good receiver out of the backfield, a willing and capable pass blocker. He covered kickoffs, returned kicks, and was a gunner on the punt team. He’s quick, fast, and agile with what should have been a 100 spin move on Madden.
His versatility and production combined with Hill’s lack lack thereof and Bernard coming off of an ACL tear should have made Burkhead’s resigning a priority this offseason. Instead, he signed with New England. As ESPN’s Stugotz, or in this case, Gotztradamus, accurately predicted back in December, “Rex Burkhead, New England Patriots, collision course.”  
Now, not only will Burkhead be known as “one of those players that the Patriots love,” (not sure what people mean when they say this) but also as “one of those types of players that the Bengals claim they love because of their versatility but is never really given the opportunity to fully showcase what he can do because he’s too busy being versatile.” Yes, people really do say that, and if they don’t, they should.
2. James Wright
Tumblr media
If you have already forgotten about James Wright, that’s your fault, not his. Wright, a seventh round draft pick, was primarily used as a special teamer during his tenure with the team. When used as a receiver, he was impressive as he consistently was able to make circus like catches for big plays and third down conversions.
When he was drafted in the seventh round out of LSU, most said that it was a Darren Simmons pick. He proved to be a valuable special teamer who made many plays while on the kickoff team and as a gunner on the punt team.
However, when given the opportunity, he proved to be a more than capable receiver down the field as well as on plays closer to the line of scrimmage such as screens, reverses, and even the primary runner from the wildcat formation. His ability to gain yards with the ball in his hands is a part of his game that the team seemed to appreciate. All of which makes him one of those ‘versatile players’ this coaching staff is always talking about. Unfortunately for Wright, he suffered a leg injury in 2015 just as the club was set to count on him to be the fourth receiver behind AJ Green, Marvin Jones, and Mohammed Sanu.
In 2016, the Bengals thought enough of Wright to keep him around after coming back from his PCL injury and he continued to be a presence on special teams as well as at receiver.
Earlier this year, Wright signed with the Cleveland Browns. With four receivers being drafted in the in the last two drafts, the emergence of Alex Erickson to go along with AJ Green, his release from the Bengals a logical move. It just would have been nice to see him get more opportunities. Hopefully, one of the young skilled position guys can make up for his loss on special teams.
Let’s go back to the first game against the Jets. First quarter, first punt of the season. The personal protector was Rex Burkhead. The player making the tackle downfield was James Wright. It was the little and not so little things they did which will be missed in 2017.
During the offseason and into training camp, there will no doubt be a plethora of story lines and intrigue. The loss of Burkhead and Wright may not be one of them. Nevertheless, Cleveland and New England have ex Bengals and are a little bit better because of it.

UPDATE ON THE SIENNA MAE AND JACK WRIGHT SITUATION
Jack Wright has finally posted on his Instagram saying, “ While sharing all my life with all of you some parts are deeply personal and I have been hesitant to to share my own emotional and mental well-being”
He continues to say that this is a serious matter that has real consequences, and Mason and James’ only intention was to protect me with the truth, and I really value their enormous support through this extremely difficult time. He also says that he hopes Sienna gets the support and help she needs, and he does not want to tear anyone down and only wishes healing for everybody involved.
WOW! Do you think Jack is in the right for keeping it personal or should he make a video explaining his side?
Hope you have a good day/afternoon/ night filled with happiness and positivity!
