For those who don’t know what Valorant is, the game is essentially like a cross between CSGO and Overwatch, with a big emphasis on guns, movements, and agents with different abilities.
Its characters are so well-developed that they all carry a background story with them, with their age, nationality, real names, and past professions becoming a point of interest for fans and gamers.
Indeed, the game managed to grow its base of players and rank among the top tactical shooter games that exist, with one of the crucial things that set it apart from the competition being its emphasis on developing a diverse variety of agent characters, each with their own set of skills.
So, if you want to know more about their ages, nationalities, real names, and past professions, keep reading below!
What Are The Ages Of The Valorant Characters?
Riot Games doesn’t offer much intel into the ages of the agents and only provides us with intel on their nationalities and old professions.

So, according to the official data, some guesstimates, as well as innumerable fan theories, here are the ages of the Valorant agents:

In the age group of 45-50: Brimstone
As for Omen and KAY/O, they are both immortal.

My name is Ashley Newby and I want to put integrity back into esports and get the hype surrounding them paramount once more. During my teenage years, I happened to stumble across a Street Fighter tournament online and I was hooked.
From that day, I have kept up with and watched many tournaments including Valorant, Super Smash Bros, and League of Legends. I even got to compete in my first one earlier this year!
