We also know he is quite old and seems fairly worn out ... we just don't know why yet.

"The man was wrinkled, and his eyes, though piercing in their unusual lightness, seemed tired. The flesh around them was darkened into shadowed circles."
We also know he is "very old" because Jonas exclaims this to the Giver...although respectfully.
