Not to mention, there are different areas of expertise: and seemingly it appears as if Mordecai's expertise is on the subject of survival in extreme conditions. Saladin's is clearly on the subject of leadership. So yes, Mordecai could be more experienced in some areas rather than others.

(I agree with Fire. I just found the prospect of another guardian being outright more experienced in every way than Lord Saladin a bit ridiculous. And yes, I am well aware that human lifespan tripled when the traveler arrived. In fact, wouldn't that make 157 about equivalent to 50? I'd assume people like Eva Lavante would be two hundred and something.

Also, this brings up an important question: do guardians age? They are resurrected beings, made of or tied to light. And (correct me if I'm wrong) I can’t recall an account of a guardian dying of old age, or experiencing any physical changes in regard to years lived.)
