Necro, but for a good reason - concerning Cicero's age, he is at minimum a similar age to Ulfric Stormcloak. His first journal starts 15 years before the events in TES: Skyrim, and heavily imply that he is already a well-established (but low ranking) assassin by the time he begins the journal entries. He outright says in the journal that he wishes he had started his journal much sooner, as he had many events and people he could have talked about.

He surives the destruction of Bruma Sanctuary, which while not given a specific date of destruction, more than likely was wiped out when Bruma was used as a base of operations to launch attacks against the Third Aldmeri Dominion during the Great War. This places his age well above the 20-25 years I usually see mentioned, as The Great War occured from  4E 171 - 4E 175, the end of which is 11 years before the date of the first journal. This puts him much closer to the 40+ age bracket Ulfric and the rest of the war veterans found in Skyrim fall in to.
