King Cailan planned on Marrying this women but as we discover, she visited Kirkwall many times and was there when Malcolm Hawke apparently snuck in to see Leandra Amell  which was before Hawke was born.. So that would have been like 25 years before the start of Dragon Age Origins as thats how old Hawke apparently is.. So i'll assume she wasn't Empress when she was 10 she would have been at least 45 during origins and the start of Dragon Age 2.. And Cailan was.. What like 20 something? So am I correct in saying that as of 9:40 Dragon the current date we are up to, Celene is 55 or older?

I thought that Celene were young in DAO. 20? And she actually could be an Empress, even as little girl. Do you know something about history? Little boys ruled as Kings and Emperors :) With "help" from powerful nobles, of course.

or they kept their title of prince / equivalent while someone was named Regent and protector of the realm until the heir came of age

Perhaps Duke Prosper de Montfort from MotA were her Regent, cause he is still second most powerful person in Orlais right after Her, by information in this DLC.

Her codex entry says

Rumor and scandal surround the empress's rise to the throne, and it is
difficult to separate truth from fiction. Celene is the daughter of the
late Emperor Florian's youngest sister, and others in the family held
stronger claims when Florian died. Court rumors at the time implied that
Celene had her uncle assassinated then schemed against her older
cousins to challenge their right to rule.


Which doesn't sound like she was a little girl at the time.

She was in power and made peace with Fereldan in 9:20

Wulfram: This prooves nothing. Real kings in antiquity and medieval age did plans for conspiracies, war and assassinations even when they were 13-15 years old :) So something after 20 is possible.

Celene is actually 193, but maintains a youthful appearance using the blood of heroes.

I thought that was Flemeth's area of expertise?

I always imagined her to be a similar age to Anora. I think she might be in her late 30's/early 40's by the end of DA2. We better get the chance to see her in the flesh before she get's too old though.

And the codex entry states she is arguably the most powerful woman in Thedas.. Though I wonder who would have more power between her and Divine Justinia V?

Empress Celene is one of Flemeth's daughters. She managed to escape her mother and set herself up in a position of power to protect herself.

Though in one of the codex's gained from one of the portraits in Mark of the Assassin it talks of this old noble (cant remember her name) in Orlais that seems to be the one really pulling the strings and the one who placed Celene on the throne, so I imagine she would be more powerful than Celene.

Celene was sixteen at the time when she assumed the Imperial throne, and that was in 9:20 Dragon. The only Empress prior to her would have been the wife of Emperor Florian.

I'm afraid we need to use... math.

And I sure hope so. I imagine she has long flowing blonde hair and is gorgeous.

True enough. Especially when you consider how good Flemeth looks for her age. Image IPB

Dear Celene,

That picnic by the river with Brie, caviar and champagne was simply divine. I still think of your sky blue eyes that shone so bright with the back drop of your lovely blonde curls. Your dress and shoes were things of beauty and I shall remember the kiss on the cheek forever. I am so pleased that you shall be looking after my man servant and his son at your palace. (Keep the salamanders under lock and key.)

Your faithful admirer,

Hawke


ps. A companion of mine blew up the chantry in Kirkwall, the streets are filled with abominations, the templars are ready to riot and I had to kill a very important member of the Qun. Can you please fire up an exalted march?

Again, your faithful and loving servant,

Hawke

Flemeth is also a shapeshifter who can assume any form she pleases.

Queen Elizabeth the 1st? 

(Do we know much about how Celene came to the throne?  History of the Orlais throne?  Any news on the latest book?)
