What is the lifespan of a Drow?

My character

Name: Zyx Norum
Age/Race/Gender: 335/Drow/Male

Physical Appearance: With a height of 1,6 meters and grey skin, Zyx doesn't look much different than the average Drow. His long, white hair make up for his bland face.

Armor/Clothing: Zyx usually wears a custom blue "armored" robe, created for long journeys and combat. This "armor" offers little protection from physical attacks but it has some magic resistance, as it can block a tenth of a magical attack. A cyan gem in the chest area empowers it, allowing Zyx to enhance it and be enhanced by it.

Weapon(s): None.
Powers/Abilities:

As a Drow, Zyx has an affinity for destruction spells, which he combines with utility and defensive abilities. He is exceptionally good at disabling and killing other magicians. His main abilities are:

* Increased resistance: Zyx doubles his armor's magical resistance

* Mana burn: Zyx mentally impairs an enemy mage, removing a chuck of his mana.

* Overload: His most powerful ability. Zyx sends propels himself towards a target after concentrating all of his energy on his fist. He then unleashes it, inflicting massive damage to the enemy target and minor damage to himself.

Personality: {WIP}

History: Zyx Norum is a part of a Drow tribe that lives outside Blackhorne. The tribe named "Atis" has been reduced to less than 50 people over the last decade, as many of it's members move to the main city. The oldest members of the tribe used to belong on a cabal that came very close to acquire demigod-like powers but eventually failed. A group of vigilante human battlemages protected some of these powers and eventually chased down most of the Drow from Atis. The remaining survivors were spared and abandoned the search for more power. Mentally injured from horrific spells and extremely tired, they focused on leading the tribe instead.

Many years later, the battlemages stormed the tribe's village and burned it to the ground. They falsely believed that the old Drow Wizards had stolen a relic, as an attempt to restore their powers. Even though they found nothing, the leader didn't only congratulate them, but also ordered them to kill any children who may be a future threat to the order.

Zyx was 14 years old when the village was destroyed and was lucky enough to be away from the carnage. He and his mentor returned to the village hours after the attack only to find everyone dead. One of the corpses belonged to a battlemage. The old mentor immediately realized who she was, even though her friends burned her corpse to make her less recognizable. He moved with Zyx to Blackthorne and taught him as much as he could. Eventually Zyx became even more powerful than his teacher, thanks to his natural affinity in magic. He learned spells that could render a mage useless, that could melt armor with ease. And when his mentor died, he went after some of the human battlemages, outsmarting and killing each one of them.
