This leads me to belive he and Ulrissa are really ancient - predating the written histories at least. On the other hand, Anak knows about Tanurak, and he is younger than Lustlord, but that can be attributed to his knowledge of the Tower. While it is certainly a possibility, I'd say we have no concrete proof the current Lustlord is older than the Anak. The main thing supporting that would be their introduction during the Gathering which was supposedly done in order of seniority, but I always took that more as a "came forward as an Incubus King" seniority rather than a "true age" seniority (I doubt the Lustlord would have gotten the Anak to sit down and just tell him his real age just for the sake of making his introduction be technically correct). Those would be one and the same under normal circumstances seeing as holding a shard is seen by most as the only way of achieving immortality, but Xerces was a Tower Walker before he was an Incubus King, and we've seen some Tower Walkers achieve extremely long lifespans.

Even if the only ways of achieving true immortality are the shards or transforming into an abomination, seeing as the Lustlord was one of the weakest Incubus Kings before the abomination that wiped out his generation of IKs, I think it is entirely possible for the Anak to be older than the Lustlord.
