Hannah is annoying at first, but it will blow over.
Caleb will talk about sports and that will be all he talks about. You can tune him out, but he will learn to hate you, because you don’t value his feats of manliness.
Wallace is ok at first, but becomes really tiresome. His worldview is from 1920s, blatantly racist and doesn’t realize it, judges you constantly according to some stereotype that is based on some guy he knew 100 years ago and gives you occasional corrective sermons that make no sense, because they are for that guy he once knew.
Susan appears to be ok, but is a psycho. Will try to manipulate you and delegate stuff to you, even though doesn’t even work in for the same department. Everything is a thing that will be decisive to your career and soon marks you down as a looser, because you don’t listen to her. Will leave the company, because everyone is a looser.
Edit: so anyone in the top four. Office already stinks and on music is allowed.
The last two guys in my team that got retired were 65, but excellent people, and taught me lots, so my first instinct was Wallace. But reading your report, it occurs to me that maybe the description “Is like 100” actually implies a certain oldness of mind that I didn’t consider.
I’ve been sharing an office with a Wallace. It can be tiresome. But one can occasionally learn things and ignoring the annoying parts can be part of what you can learn. I’d certainly chose Wallace of these options.
I’ve had Hannah, Caleb, Wallace and Susan.

Agree on Caleb. He will quickly tune out due to your lack of interest and there will be peace in office.
