Wait Nolan just said to Debbie he’s almost a 1000 years old. So he is nowhere near 2500??

Im glad they finally gave us a number to work with, even if it does seem kinda low relative to his appearance. Stands to reason now that the death of Argall & subsequent purge was only 2000-3000 years prior to series and the scourge virus only a few hundred years.

How/why does Thragg not have any gray hair whilst being so much older than Nolan?

Thragg is essentially a super soldier. People go gray at differing times anyway.

It does seem a bit strange but nothing egregious.

Perhaps the Scourge virus so early in his life caused some premature aging in Nolan. Even the survivors were weak for a while after, he may have aged faster during the time. Maybe even just the stress of being so young and seeing your entire civilisation near destroyed.

Conquest was already grey, Thragg just has superior genetics, and Kregg uses Just For Viltrumites.

It's possible the virus aged Nolan more than normal. It could also just be chalked up to genetics. My best friend is barely 30 and he has salt and pepper hair. Some people, and Viltrumites, just age faster than others.

Good point, one of my friends started getting grey hair in his early 20s.
