so, pumat’s age is a weird one, though
he ‘feels’ kinda middle-aged — especially when we first met him. i’d say he’s felt younger since matt kinda started leaning into pumat being a little goofier lately. for a firbolg, that’d put him around 200 years old, easily - which is fine, that’s pretty cool
but the problem with this concept is the following things
firstly: firbolgs reach adulthood around 30 years old. they do not age at the same rate as humans, and it’s not really possible to equate them. you can, but the facts are that even though age-wise caduceus is equivalent to someone in his 20s, caduceus is a full grown adult from a completely separate, non-human and often heavily coded as nonwhite community. he’s not the same emotional age as beau, jester, etc.
so, with that in mind, back to pumat ...
* pumat learned under oremid hass, who is currently in his 50s. genasi have the same lifespan as humans. * pumat’s only been running the invulnerable vagrant for 12 years.
in my opinion, that means pumat has only been kicking around as an enchanter for a maximum of 20 years. he can’t have been doing it for much longer or it would have been completely unreasonable for oremid to be the one teaching him.
this doesn’t mean pumat CAN’T be around 200 years old, but it raises a lot of questions about what he was doing before learning under oremid hass and joining the assembly. time doesn’t go any faster for him - that’d be 180 years of activity unexplained and unchecked.
so i find it more likely, honestly, that pumat is probably in his early 100s. that gives him plenty of time to reach adulthood, fuck up being an adult, get kicked out of his clan and make his way to the cities before being scooped by the assembly.
but we don’t know for sure, maybe pumats got secrets 🤷♀️
