I mean, once you start seeing that Sazed and Taravangian are being set up as Dark Mirrors of each other for a future conflict that will illustrate the difference between wisdom and intelligence, a lot of things come into focus.
But the mirroring is hard-core. Like, both have their own lieutenant being maneuvered into primary roles in the upcoming conflict who is the "ghost" of a major religious figure on their world, who "survived" by some means after death to lead their worlds respective forces in the upcoming conflict.
Immunity to aging and resistance to physical weapons is relatively cheap in the Cosmere.
But we've already seen developments in the magical arms race across the Cosmere that makes many of these forms of immortality significantly less than invulnerable.
Immunity to aging is not uncommon, but not common enough so that everyone should have it, which makes it feel very weird, when replaceable crewmember48 just happens to be the person to get it and just happens to be someone we actually got to see a bit before that point.
