Sarevok is approximately 6-7 years older then you, assuming a human PC, since he was a young boy at the time you were 1-ish (Gorion is mentioned to have brought you to Candlekeep as a baby), equivalent.
Spoiler warning!
That's incorrect It has been said that Sarevok was one of the other babies Gorion didn't get to bust out and that the roles could've easily been reversed (the trials in hell maybe, not sure) That puts both at the same age
As for Jaheira, she does not say when she was born, only that she was born to nobility that remained loyal to the late king during the civil war, at which point she was orphaned.
Maybe somewhat vague, but not really. From her biography: "She says that she was born in the Tethyr region to a loyalist of the King Alemander regime, unfortunately during the Thethyrian civil war." It says during, which means 1347 DR - civil war started at at that time, beginning with coup on the king. And nobles' castles were sacked by mobs even later. But whatever, for the sake of roleplaying I too tend to give her a few extra years, because she has too much common sense for such a young woman, even being a druid .
She was born to a noble, who was a loyalist of the King Alemander regime during the Tethyrian civil war.
That is how I choose to read it, as any other reading just doesn't make sense.
- No way is Xzar in his 20's! He's at least early 30's, he has the wisdom to match and even sounds it - Edwin seems young to me, he doesn't have the astute nature of someone in their 30's and he's far too narrow minded and power hungry for maturity, I'd say he's mid to late 20's, after all his thirst for power does backfire...
Strange, I'd put both at the same age, at least early 30ies, if not Edwin a bit older. I always attributed his ignorance and low wisdom to the lifestyle of a powerhungry wizard who spent most of his life studying and not experiencing much of the world outside the library. Xzar, on the other hand, does not belong to a mage order, but a mercenary group, which is why he's "street smart". "Widsom" as "life experience" makes a lot sense and doesn't depend on the age.
I agree about Safana being an older version of Skie. She's the version that learned Eldoth' tricks and used them to her advantage, ultimately becoming more like him. I'd put Skie between 19 and 21, Safana somewhere around 27.
Minsc is in his thirties, from portrait and voice alone. Dynaheir is a bit younger, mid- to late twenties. She's a lower ranking witch, but still experienced enough to be send on a mission alone, so she must have at least a few years of studies under her belt.
Ajantis is early twenties, too. He just started with the whole knight thing. If we go with medieval standards, the life expectation of humans is a lot lower than today's. Knights were already pretty accomplished in mid- to late twenties.
@Aasimar069, most people learn to walk a bit sooner than the age of 8 And most people aren't even demigods
Still, I guess that he - at least - have the age of reason (ie : 7 years old - 5 years old the younger age). He can remember the name of Gorion amongst other elements.
On the other hand CHARNAME doesn't remember his abduction by Gorion, which would mean that he was far much younger than 7-4 years old - that's why he is called a baby.
@Sharn , are sure you'd be cool being 200 years old? Think about someone who's 80 years old . The way they see life changes a lot - for good or ill, depending on how much they have experienced. Even the wildest rock stars retire and settle down at old age.
Sure, age is all about perspective, heck just about everything in life is about perspective. I have always been pretty laid back and just take things as they come, my outlook has changed as I have grown older but that has always stayed the same. The only thing I can think of is regret, the longer you live the more mistakes you make that your going to have to live with, one would hope the more mistakes you make though the fewer you would have as you gained more wisdom. So far from my experience that seems to be the case, so I don't see it as a problem.

@Silchas : M'kay ...
So young Sarevok ran by crawling on all the way out of the temple and survived by himself in his baby age ?
Quite impossible...
Most likely he was old enough to walk out by himself as a 8-12 years old boy could have done.
