Of course he doesn't. But he is ninety years old. He's going to die anyway. So there's not much sense in him pretending otherwise.
Erm...he may be 90 in RP years (that's up to you), but the game only considers him 67.
And he's not a Hero, so he's not going to die unless you manage to get him captured by someone who's banned him.
So....yeah; not sure where you're coming from with this.
