The Alchemist infiltrated the citadel, he introduced himself to Sam at the end of the book. And Pate was necessary because he was close to AM Marwyn, right? I'm currently rereading but my memory of AFFC is hazy. LeoKing We know that Jaqen is a Faceless man. Their organisation was founded as a resistance against the Valyrian freehold, magic users and slavers.
We also know from Marwyn that the citadel has certain anti-magic e. Targaryen, dragon tendencies. That might align Jaqen against Dany. But on the other hand, since he is infiltrating the place, more likely he is not with them. But really.. He is told that he will never understand what is happening. His last thought is of Rosey.

History [ ] Pate originally comes from The Westerlands , where he was a member of the smallfolk. He spent eight years exploring the east, looking for lost books and training with warlocks and shadowbinders, and Archmaester Vaellyn dubbed him "Marwyn the Mage" upon his return. Leo counters that a glass candle is burning in the maester's chambers.
The candles, three black and one green, came to the Citadel a thousand years before the Doom of Vlayria and serve as the final test for an acolyte before he is raised to maester. The acolyte must spend a night in darkness unless he can light the candle, which is made of dragonglass and cannot be lit. The test is meant to teach humility and the limits of knowledge, yet now one of them is casting a light brighter than any wax candle that never flickers.
Armen and the others still have doubts save Alleras. It is getting late, so everyone departs save Leo and Pate, who still hopes the alchemist will appear. Leo cruelly mocks him some more, but Pate ignores the japes because attacking him would mean his death since Leo is trained in arms and his father is Ser Moryn Tyrell , the commander of the City Watch of Oldtown.
When dawn breaks, Pate leaves to return to the Citadel. As he walks, the alchemist hails him. He did not come earlier because he did not want to approach Pate while he was with his friends. Pate has stolen a key from Archmaester Walgrave for him, one that opens every door in the Citadel. The alchemist leads him into an alley, where he hands over the gold dragon in exchange for the key.
Pate asks who he is and what he wants, but the alchemist just says he is no one. Pate turns to leave, but suddenly finds himself on the ground.
He does not understand what is going on, and the alchemist says he never will. Pate dies thinking of Rosey. Next Chapter The Prophet. AFFC Prologue. Book 4, Chapter 1. Pate steals a key that opens all the doors in the Citadel for a mysterious man who then kills him. Discuss this chapter. Contact Us! An acolyte of the Citadel. He has forged four links, pewter, tin, lead, and copper.
He has a long pointed nose. Gormon Tyrell - Gormon has assumed Archmaester Walgrave 's duties due to the man's mental infirmnities. Mollander - A novice of the Citadel. He has thick arms, broad shoulders, and a clubfoot. He is the son of a knight who died on the Blackwater. Pate - A novice of the Citadel. He helps Archmaester Walgrave tend the ravens. He has been a novice for five years, failing in his only two attempts to forge a link.
Rosey - She has hazel eyes. The Alchemist - He is young with full cheeks, a shadow of a beard, a hooked nose, and a mat of dense black curls. He has a faint scar on his right cheek. Maesters - A would be maester begins his training as a novice.
When he earns his first link, he becomes an acolyte. An acolyte wears the links he has earned on a leather thong around his neck. A novice or acolyte earns a link by demonstrating his skill in front of the archmaester responsible for whichever discipline he is trying to earn his link for. The final test the acolyte must pass before being raised to maester involves spending a night in darkness unless he can light one of the Citadel 's four glass candles , an impossible task.
This serves as a lesson that even with knowledge some things are not possible.
