not really there was 20 years between his birth and the death of his mother. It is probably more along the lines that as a half vampire he will grow to maturity at a human rate and then stop. It would make sense given that he has superior regeneration. Humans cells grow as they age until a certain point where they instead of growing with age they begin to deterioate and die with age. As a half vampire his cells would not die with age or should they die they would be replenished instantly with his regeneration. That wouldnt slow his aging up to maturity because that would be growth not damage. But where as in human bodies we start breaking down in the 2nd half of our lives. He wouldnt. Therefore instead of growing into "old age" he would stay at peak maturity. Also that entire series you mentioned was blasphemy on vampire lore.
