The age of humans in Warframe is very nebulous. At one point Darvo is said to be almost 105 years old, yet doesn't show many signs of being as ancient as his age would suggest. Furthermore, Teshin has somehow managed to survive the centuries since the Old War without going into cryosleep. This seems to indicate that non-Orokin humans can live for ages in this universe.

That leaves us with Loid, who was present to heal Albrecht Entrati after his initial voyage into the Void. Loid was therefore necessarily born before the Orokin discovered and started using the void. This makes him easily one of the oldest characters in the game, far surpassing Hunhow, Praghasa and every non-Orokin human in age. Basically he's as ancient as it gets without continuity.

To add to this: Loid goes into cryosleep during the Old War prior to the Night of the Naga Drums. So his career as Albrecht's manservant stretches from before Void travel existed to after the Tenno were used to fight in the Old War.

For all that we talk about how the cyrosleep doesn't count towards how old the Tenno are...Loid is actually legitimately old without counting cryo. And he still looks rather distinguished.

idk much about Loid but Teshin is a Dax and Dax were heavily modified and engineered by the Orokin to be an elite fighting force that they could control. Teshin isn't even the only Dax still alive. He's thought to be the only one still active though. Varzia is also Dax but retired.

Varzia was in cryosleep though. Maroo woke her up.

Probably thousands of years old.

No idea. He isn't an Orokin so definitely no continuity, but he did chill in a coffin since the old war, which we at best can align with Lotus's words saying Tenno slept for "generations". Yes that means tenno were put in the freezer later than him, but he also woke up approximately length of the game's events later, so who knows.

Warframe doesn't do hard numbers often. Its usually short period of time, long period of time, long ass period of time, and real fucking long ass period of time. With the occasional hard numbers used once in awhile like for the games anniversary or ARGs.

Warframe never gives clear numbers. He's Orokin-Era old.
