Very rarely, some powerful mages lose their senescence, instead growing larger and larger until injury or illness eventually takes them. Like an alligator! As these ageless mages continue to outlive their peers, they are prone to apathy, boredom, and mental instability. It often seems that they eventually begin to see the people around them more like toys. Inevitably, they will become increasingly dangerous. On one hand, this makes them obvious targets. On the other, they've likely attained not just great magical power by this point, but societal power as well.
Celantrians usually succumb to old age after about a century, but Anata is just over 200. The oldest magician, Archmage Solanace of the Council for Magic Regulation, is over 500 years old. They have not been seen publicly for quite a long time.
