Alf, as the Elvenking is named in wotton major does not age normaly. It is observed in the tale that he was considered very young for an apprentice when he came with Waller the fromer master cook. And he was still considered to young to be master cook when Waller left. Then in the end we see Nokes as an Old man and Smith as grown up how has a grandchild but still Alf has the full vigor and youth that he had have from the start, even so he looks now more grown up as it seems.
I can't see were you get the idea that he had come before of would come again later in other guise. In my oppinion Waller was the first to get the star and it is an open question what happend to it when the grandchild of Nokes has to give the Star back. But when I remember rightly Alf had have an apparentice who became master cook when he left.
Respectfuly
