This is a question that's been picking at me for a while now as I read up on the lore: who is the oldest mortal space marine still alive?

We know that space marines tend to live for a good couple centuries at least and there's no record of one dying of old age, so I'm assuming that space marines/chaos space marines are functionally immortal (or just die in battle before they can age too much a la grimdark), so who's the oldest living one?

My candidates are...

Kharn the Betrayer (read some lore that he was born on Terra in what is now (IRL) Germany, or at least where the population is apparently strongly nordic, possibly meaning that he's an OG space marine.

Abbadon the Despoiler: He's been around since at least Horus' discovery.

Fabius Bile: Not sure exactly how old he is, but the dude's definitely one of the older chaos space marines kicking about.

Bjorn the Fell Handed: Oldest living loyalist space marine around, he's been there since the Horus Heresy.

NOTES: This excludes space marines who have become daemon princes or the primarchs.

So, what do you guys think?
