Lore Age of Witch

Anyone known lore age of a Witch?
In russian community there are many players that thought that Witch are 50-60 years old but somebody doubts. Is this correct by original lore?

It's hard to tell the age of a witch. Bitches are tricky.

Not 12. So anything goes.

The witch is basically Melisandre so hundreds of years.

The Witch gets reborn each night through the covenant she makes with the unholy darkness.

The witch was noted by a staff member to be under age. I'm guessing not above 21 or so?

Ehm, but how could 18-20 years old beat Malachi, who like 2 thousands years old and practice of thaumaturgy all this time?

Skill and luck?

And if she's underage, this means not even 18 yrs old.

Do you mean that 17 yrs old girl have more skills at thaumaturgy than greatest of all known thaumaturgists and living manifestation of thaumaturgy (aka the Beast) itself?
Another exiles are 40-50 y.o. and 80 y.o. Templar so they have slightly more chances

Btw why Witch needs to kill Malachi and the Beast if the Beast are source of magic in Wraeclast and without him virtue gems probably will become useless?

Compared to 2000 years of experience, what does 17 or 70 matter? Both would seem very young compared to Malachai.
