Chosen One possibly still alive during Fallout NV and beyond?

First time out of the vault
I was wondering. During Fallout NV, couldn't the Chosen One still be alive? It was around 40 years after Fallout two, and lore states the Chosen One's journey began when he was 20, also his birthdate was in the year 2221, and James and Caesar were born in 2226. So that leaves the question. Why does everyone refer to the Chosen One as if he was dead? He should be similarly their age, at around 40-50 years of age? Or is he a vague memory as he's still out there somewhere exploring.
Does anyone have any clue if the canon says he died? It would seem that as of right now, the Chosen One could still be possible to meet. I just wanna have a second opinion in case I glanced over something.
I primarily used the Fallout wiki for my information, since Caesars age is from the Fallout: NV official guide. It should be canon.
 
Yeah, the Chosen One would be old but not ridiculously so.

His kid is ruling New Reno after all.
 
They're still alive. Marcus hasn't seen the Chosen One since the oil rig blew up, so he doesn't know what exactly became of them. He might know about Arroyo but not that the C.O became Elder. Could be the same for most folks who knew of them.
 
Unless we take this as a sort of special encounter, his car made it to the mojave and broke down near novac. With jsawyer his stuff are still in the car, notably the vault 13 suit and canteen. So he might have died. I like to think that he just kept travelling though.
 
I like to think that after founding New Arroyo and guiding them to the better future, Chosen One went ahead to explore the wastes on his own and produce as much illegal offspring as possible.
 
When in doubt pump it out! I'm a big fan of the chosen one just knocking people up or getting knocked up. (Depending on which sex you played as.)
Or at the very least spurred some kind of wasteland changing initiative that could have the potential of radically changing the wasteland. Either way I would just be content to know that the bugger survived into old age.
 
Except for Brotherhood of Steel, which features the vault dweller (unless they only implie it), most Fallout were smart enough to remain as vague as possible about the fate of previous player characters. They could be men, they could be women, they could be dead, they could be alive, they could have lived in a shack, on the road, have ruled they own city, or died the day after they defeated their enemies. They could be the infamous mysterious stranger. They could be a mark on a random tomb, an average joe that you wouldn't talk to while visiting a random town. They could be no one you meet, or took an new identity, pretending to be a new npc that you interact with.

That characters is what you make of it, no matter if it is part of his backstory, how he or she handled the various quests, and what happened to her or her afterward.

Better keep his or her fate vague and better keep most of the quests outcomes canonically unknown. So your choices remain the prime reference for your own personnal canon.

VD = male, see the statue in NCR.
CO = male, unless that Bishop child is from Sulik lol

We know more about the Vault dweller, including his gender and how his companions died, through his journal.

On the other hand, there is nothing confirmed about the chosen one. If you picked a male chosen one and got the bishop son ending, that reference is suspiciously similar and may implie it is the same person, but it doesn't rule out a female chosen one or a male chosen one that didn't slept with any Bishops women. The choice is still yours, as there is nothing to prevent any other guy (including John Bishop himself) to put a child in the Bishop ladies bellies. (especially considering how willing they are to get intimate). Don't mistake possibly implied with outright confirmed. A confirmation, for instance, is that Marcus got recruited by a tribal and helped blow the oil rig.
 
It was never confirmed that Mr Bishop in New Vegas is the Chosen One's child. Bruce Issac's dialog makes light reference to that particular ending in Fallout 2, implied but never outright stated.
 
Speculation aside, all that really matters is that the plot has progressed enough to continue the narrative. Although I would like to see one where the bad guy from a previous game was not defeated and the "PC" was defeated. While this would be disheartening for some, you have to remember that the "good guy?" doesn't always prevail.
 
It could work with FoBos, Fo3, FoNV or Fo4, but if the antagonist from Fo1, Fo2 or FoT had won, it would mean the end of the (post-apocalyptic) word as we know it.
 
I believe CO is still alive in NV, but if he truly has become the Elder of Arroyo, why should he show up in NV, or have anything to do with this at all? We know for sure that Tandi died, as Kimball is the president of NCR, and the Highwayman could have been even borrowed by Sulik or someone from CO party...maybe even by Markus, but he crashed it on his way to Jacobstown and continued by foot.
 
Why, he could, if he removed a roof:-) Maybe that was the cause of crashing - Marcus just tried to fit in. Obviously, he had failed. Anyway, IIRC, there wasn't any skeleton in or near the car, so even if it was CO who crashed, he went away for certain - but again, why should he? On the other hand, remember how VD had disappeared from Arroyo, he just left his vault suit folded on the bed and vanished. And there is no evidence that he actually died. Maybe CO, after making sure everything is OK in Arroyo, simply ventured out in the wasteland to find his acestor, or at least his grave, or anything. A holy quest indeed!
