It's funny, but I think he looks younger sometimes. In DA2, he is definitely exhausted/haunted, but there are moments when he seems...young.

FWIW, I agree with Batteries- I'd put him around 24/25 in Awakening.

I have been wondering does anyone know how old Anders is? He looks alot older that he did in Awakenings.

The only thing we know for sure is that he's older than Alistair. I always pegged him at around 28 in Awakening, so around 30 when Hawke first meets him. He does look older than he did in Awakening, but I put that down to the change in face design than them deliberately trying to adjust his age.

Remember that he had time to escape from the circle "dozens of times" and spend a year in solitary, and that's after being sent there later than his peers.

And, hell, now I have to find sources to make sure I've got the info right. Give me a sec.

He only escaped 7 times, one time being when he was still a boy according to the codex.

EDIT
But the codex does say "dozens"

Either he's lying or that's over exaggerating.

How do we know Anders is older than Alistair? I figured Alistair is in his early twneties in Origins, probably the same age as the warden. I always assumed Anders was in his early twenties in Awakening - like 22 or something, so 23 when he meets Hawke, and around 30 or 31 when he blows up the chantry. We know that Carver and Bethany are 18 years old when the family is fleeing Lothering. Hawke is what, maybe 2 or 3 years older than them?

I know about the discrepancy, I just mentally adjust it that the seven times are when he got away for any length of time, and wasn't just tackled while making a break for the docks.

Quoting Surely from another thread, but...

Someone asked if he was Duncan's son with that random Circle mage he slept with at the beginning of The Calling and David Gaider responded that Anders was too old to be Duncan's child from that encounter.

Which, since that happens well before Maric/Fiona, means Anders is not their baby. Alistair totally is.

I thought that was funny, too. Especially since I always assumed that Anders might have been padding his numbers a bit in Awakening. Perhaps he's counting actual "off the reservation" escapes while this Codex is counting every attempt he made, even if most of them ended with him being caught trying to walk out in a templar uniform, or buried at the bottom of some tranquil's supply cart.

How many years apart from Duncan getting frisky and Maric getting it own with Fiona, if you know?

I can totally see him trying to smuggle himself out in a crate and templar armor. Sprinting as fast as he can but being tackled by templars at the docks sounds funny too even if it's also sad.

Finn talking about the time when Anders swam across Lake Calenhad to escape the Templars who could not swim with their heavy armor? I freaking DIED.

Less than a year, I think. The Calling takes place over a fairly short time frame, not including the epilogue.

Okay, let's hear ideas for how Anders escaped. The sillier the better!

* Stealing the clothes of a visiting dignitary, and breezing past the guards, declaring that there's an emergency back home.
* Building a raft that comes apart halfway across the lake, leaving him sitting forlornly on a single log.
* Setting a fire in the First Enchanter's bedroom, and using it as a distraction to steal a rowboat that turns out to not have any oars.
* Seducing the son or daughter of Kester, the ferryman, and convincing them to pick him up from the tower shore.
* Lost in the basements for four days, trying to find rumoured secret passages out.

I think #1 would be funny if it were female clothes he stole and tried to get out in, with his 5 o'clock shaodow.

I can also see him collecting bits of clothing here and there, a glove here, a pauldron there... till he has the whole kit and try to blend in.  But of course missing some vital elements of the costume

Try to hide in lyrium boxes that are returned to Orzammar but having an allergic reaction of some sorts to be close to that much lyrium dust.

Speaking of being hunted, the templars should still have his phylactery in back Ferelden. I'm sure it won't take long for word to get aroud of what he did. I'm rather surprised he wasn't found within those years in Kirkwall, actually. I wish he would of made some sort of comment about being away from the circle for so many years in a row, even if he still is hiding.
I suppose being possessed and seeing mages treated like animals kinda puts a damper on that.

Well, I assume in Ferelden after the Blight and the Uldred incident the templars had already enough work and couldn't be bothered to travel to Kirkwall. Even though, now that you mention it, we met Anders just when he was being captured again, with the Blight still going on. But he wasn't being exactly subtle, running a clinic for refugees...he even met Strout (I doubt Alistair or Nate would say his whereabouts to the templars)

To be honest, the Wardens seems to have something big going on (I'm still wondering if these allies Nate mentions are intelligent darkspawn), and in the Ferelden they are worried about Orlais. Kirkwall to me seems a place abandoned to itself, Hellhole left alone, maybe they really don't want to get near that mess. 

Considering I apparently hit a bug where Moira left the Architect alive... I'd bet you're right.

Ahahaha this is totally Awakening Anders ^^ Ooh I feel so much sadness and joy AT THE SAME TIME when reading this stuff.

Always pictured AwakeningsAnders to put itching powder into the templar's boots and helmets and the Thedas equivalent of laxatives into their food.

HE COULD OF ACCOMPLISHED SO MUCH MORE IF HE JUST DID THIS INSTEAD OF BLOWING UP THE CHANTRY.

Oh, definitely. He must have been such a torment. Sending them anonymous love notes from each other, enchanting their weapons to go all flamey when they least expected, recommending rashweed as an astringent...

And this is just in the tower. I hate to see what he'd do when he would get caught out and about. I bet it involved just massive amounts of flirting, nothing that could be used against him when he got taken back but definitely something that would annoy his captors.

I'd like to think that one of the times he got captured was because he ended up spending a bit too much time at the Pearl. Some Templar happened to be visiting and walked in on crazy electrical, magic fun times. Awkwardness ensues.

Heh. Jenncgf wrote a one-shot about Anders getting into a threesome at a tavern, only to find out that one of the ladies had a templar sister waiting to take him in after everything was said and done! I love the idea that some of his attempts were less for Freeeeeedom! than they were just to be normal for a little while.

And, being a mage in the Ferelden Circle, normal means lots of indiscriminate kissing.

I agree with you.  I pegged him at about the same age as Zevran, actually.  My Warden (FemSurana) would have been about 24, Alistair 22.  And Zev's about 27.

While we're talking about Anders escaping, someone needs to post that pic with the Camp!Templar.

Really? I had no idea abut Zevran's age, I always placed him in mid- to late-30s.
