Pate of the Blue Fork,[2][3][4] also known as Ser Pate of Sevenstreams,[5] is a hedge knight from Sevenstreams in the northern riverlands.[6]
Character
Pate was brave, and wanted to make a great name for himself.[4][6] However, he was also stingy,[6]and some considered him an oaf.[5]
History
Pate the hedge knight married Amerei Frey, the eldest daughter of Merrett Frey, after she was caught in the stables of the Twins having sex with three grooms at the same time.[6] The bard Tom of Sevenstreams, Pate's cousin, sang at his wedding to Amerei, but afterwards Pate did not want to pay for his singing.[6]

Quotes
When Ami was caught in the stables with no fewer than three grooms, he'd been forced to marry her off to a bloody hedge knight. That situation could not possibly get any worse, he'd thought... until Ser Pate decided he could win renown by defeating Ser Gregor Clegane. Ami had come running back a widow, to Merrett's dismay and the undoubted delight of every stablehand in the Twins.[6]
—thoughts of Merrett Frey
I sang at your daughter's wedding. And passing well, I thought. That Pate she married was a cousin. We're all cousins in Sevenstreams. Didn't stop him from turning niggard when it was time to pay me.[6]
I begged him not to go, but my Pate was oh so very brave, and swore he was the man to slay that monster. He wanted to make a great name for himself.[4]
