Pate was a peasant sworn to House Osgrey.[2]
Appearance
Pate had weepy eyes, and he snored. He liked to talk about the camp followers he had known during the war.[2]
History
After being trained by Ser Eustace Osgrey's sons with other peasants from his lands, Pate went off to fight for House Osgrey during the Blackfyre Rebellion. He was one of the only three surviving men that returned with Ser Eustace, along with Dake and Lem.[2]
The Sworn Sword
Pate was among the smallfolk called up by Ser Eustace Osgrey to defend his lands against House Webber when a dispute over the Chequy Water escalated into threats of war. Pate was trained for battle by Eustace's sworn swords, Ser Bennis of the Brown Shield and Ser Duncan the Tall. After the first day of training, Duncan had a nightmare that all the men had been killed and he had to bury them.[2]
After Ser Duncan realized that it would be a hopeless fight where all the smallfolk would certainly die, he sent Pate home with the others. As Pate ran off, he almost accidentally disemboweled Will Bean when he tripped over his spear.[2]
