Saint Germain - Proof of Immortality?

I could have put this in any of several HP forums, but since scientific minds tend to avoid the historical facts about Saint Germain, I thought I'd place it here.

Here we have a man who was mature by the opening of the 1700s, yet never appeared to age over well over a century. He was known to the royal houses of Europe, and warned Marie Antoinette about the coming French Revolution. He could speak every single language, it seems, including Oriental ones. He was a superb musician. Masons with deep knowledge believe he was either the founder, or much behind the scenes, in Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry in the beginning. Manley Palmer Hall believes Saint Germain had more than anyone else to do with the American Revolution.

He could write a poem with one hand while writing a letter with the other! He could turn flawed gems into perfect ones. He invented steam engines 20 years before Stevenson's Rocket...

Saint Germain never appeared to eat, or very little oatmeal according to some. He was enormously wealthy but had no bank acount and usually no obvious income. He acted as a diplomat or even spy over many decades for many countries. Though well-known in Europe, he was also with Clive of India in the 1850s (1750s?). Voltaire knew him and called him, "The man who never dies, and who knows everything." The opera singer, Emma Calve, was visited by him in 1897 and signed a phtograph for him, saying he had dispensed wonderful wisdom. His musical compositions are in museums around the world, and sometimes are recorded. He wrote at least one book, "Most Holy Trinosophia".

Since he was a grown man from around 1700, and still not aged by 1897 -- how? Many claim to have met him even up to the present day, and there are many such published accounts of meetings with him in the 20th century. People have known him throughout their lives, from their childhood to old age, but he does not age. He walked at will throughout the courts of Europe, in which everyone seems to have known him. When it was once attempted, he proved somehow impossible to arrest.

If this man isn't a mystery, what is?

The historical records are unquestionable, rom the letters and diaries of royalty and others of the day over centuries. He did exist. I've often noted how sceptics simply avoid looking at this subject, or throw out superficial answers without checking that well-known personages of the day attest to Saint Germain's longevity, during which his appearance didn't even alter. It's an interesting case given all the evidence.

It's said, "To know him is to love him."
