Caspar tells Sam that humans have actually found the secret to immortal life. A group of immortals who called themselves alchemists found the immortality elixir several hundred years ago and had lived as youthful humans ever since.
Caspar was the head of the Alchemist clan, and he claimed to be 438 years old when he met Sam. It was hard to believe, right? But then Caspar showed him all the evidence.
He had very complete documentation of his life. Since the early 19th century, he had been present at important world events. His relationship with famous humans in history couldn't be doubted.
He showed proof that he met Einstein, several US presidents in the 19th century to early 20th century, famous composers that were now dead, and many others
Sam was shocked but also amazed. He knew that the Alchemists passed on their condition to their biological offspring so that their children would be born immortal.
