Just a note regarding his age.

According to WoWwiki, which has its information from World of Warcraft RPG books (the tabletop version so to speak), it is said thus:

They (High/Blood Elves) reach adulthood at 110 years, a "venerable" age at roughly 350 years, and can rarely live up to 2,000 years before dying of old age.

Blizzard is notoriously bad at keeping their own lore straight, though. I believe the same source used to say elvish lifespans were about 700 years post-Nordrassil, until Blizzard's WoW-Encylopedia came up with "The night elves sacrificed their immortality and much of their power at the end of the Third War. Thus, all elves are now mortal and have comparable lifespans that can extend as long as several thousand years." (http://www.wow-europe.com/en/info/encyclopedia/339.xml)

To me, 'several', is 3-6, so 200 is the right ballpark to be 'young'.
