Alice Grove MCDLT - August 2016
brasca:
The fact that he has a big goon working for him may indicate that he's just a normal human with hired muscle. As such Ellie might not have any problems introducing him to Alice since she just said she'd punch a hole into the bunker and knows she could make short work of him. However, this could be misdirection. Mr. Pate may be another immortal, but prefers to have underlings do his dirty work unless he has to get involved. He knew about the bunker and that could be due to him being around at the time of the blink. I would find it odd that he wouldn't know anything about Alice considering everything they know about Ardent and Gavia would require his spies visiting her village.
renfield1969:
I am curious about this little guy.
Is he wearing smartglasses or is it just an artistic choice that we can't see his eyes?
Is that a solar panel on top of his carriage?
Skewbrow:
Sure looks like a solar panel on top of a steam engine. Steampunk City?
It is a bit strange, ominous even, that Pate (I first read it Date - either it's a confusing font, or I need a new prescrition) and his agents are totally disinterested in Alice+Sedna.
* Either Pate knows something about them that we don't, and can therefore afford to ignore them.
* May be Alice and/or Sedna is one of those agents?
Anyway, Ellie knows she needs to stay in friendly terms with Pate. May be he really has been their main source of hints of good sites to dig, may be he is financing/supplying the team of diggers? Or, just is capable of making their life uncomfortable enough that Ellie thinks it's simpler to humor the man.
Kugai:
It could be both

He either knows nothing about Alice and Sedna, or everything about them.
The heterochromia goon -- are we sure that's Mr. Pate's and not Ellie's? He just appears out of nowhere. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MismatchedEyes
