Pate is a novice at the Citadel. He is an POV character in the prologue of A Feast for Crows.

In the book he is 18, this means he must have been born in 281 AL or 282 AL. Pate is not very intelligent; he has been at the Citadel for five year but has not earned a link from his maesters necklace. Part of his duties is looking after old senial Archmaester Walgrave.
Two days before the prologue he has met a person who calls himseld the Alchemist. The Alchemist has promised him a golden dragon if Pate brings him the personal key of Walgrave. The personal key of an Archmaest can open any lock in the Citadel. Pate thinks about this offer for two days. He needs the gold the claim the maidenhood of Rosey, the youngest serving girl of the Quil and Tankard pub. Pate dreams of running away with Rosey.
The third day he is with his friends, Alleras, Mollander, Armen and Roone in the Quil and Tankard celebrating Alleras new gotten link. They met Leo Tyrell, another novice who thinks very much of miself and is not liked by the others. Leo mocks them and claims he will have Rosey. Shortly after the other boys go back to the Citadel leaving Leo and Pate, who is waiting for the Alchemist.
Eventually Pate thinks that the Alchemist will not show up and heads back to the Citadel. Outside the pub he runs into the Alchemist who tells Pate to follow him. Pate and the Alchemist walk to a narrow alley. Pate asks that the Alchmist show his face. The Alchemist is young man with thick black hair, a scar on the right cheek and hooked nose. Pate gives the Alchemist the key, thus proving himself to be a thief and the Alchemist gives him the dragon. When Pate tries to walk back he falls to the ground and dies.

At the end of A Feast for Crows Samwell Tarly comes at the Citadel and meets Alleras, Leo Tyrell and boy called Pate...
