Look at his age, the part in () is his "true" age, the first part is his "biological" age. With the cryptosleep caskets people live a very long time but do not age in them biologically, so yea, he is "true" age is over 1700 years old, while biologically he is only 18 years old due to most of his time being spent in cryptosleep.

This is WAD and not a bug. Here is a thread that has a decent explanation of age related stuff like this. https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=26775.0

Moving this from Bugs to GD (as this is not a bug).

As above, technically he could have kids biologically older than he is.

Ever seen "Aliens"?

They find Ripley in a ship a lot later after the events of "Alien" happened - 57 years to be exact.

That Burke guy then tells him how much time has passed and that her kid, who was 10 years old when Ripley went to "work", has already passed away of old age.

That's what happens in Rimworld too with cryptosleep gaskets.

Was going to mention Interstellar, but this is a better example.
