I've read and reread the books and my guess at his age is: Thief - 16 or 17 Queen of Att. - 2 years go by within the book, so ages 17-19 King of Att. - 19 or 20 They refer to him as half-grown, but he is short and slender, which I imagine makes him look younger than his age. Eddis is 5 years older than him (snippet from the end of one of reprinted paperbacks says this), and Attolia would be 6 or 7 years older than him. Sophos I imagine is two years younger than Gen. I can't imagine Gen younger than 16 in Thief, not if Sophos thinks he's ready to be married. And for Gen to physically take on the Guards (in Thief), and Pol and the Magus at one point, I would imagine he would have to be somewhat close to a man's age.
