Possibly. He could be the kind of antagonist who is introduced early on that seems impressive and scary until someone worse eclipses him. Bruno Manheim comes to mind. His criminal organization antagonizes Superman early on and gets advanced technology from Darkseid who has his own agenda and later disposes of him when he's no longer useful. As such Pate could be an unwitting pawn of the Praesides whether they have directly contacted him or not.

Agreed on all counts. There's no way he knows the Praesides, but he will definitely be their unwitting pawn in this case.
Pogopotamus:
If, per his comments, Pate "knows" about Alice and how old she is and that she's a non-human lifeform then isn't it pretty much a given that big guy knows also? If that's the case I'm not seeing how her stealthy disable+run exit plan is going to play out because it's (or was) based on them seeing her as harmless. Per Pate's comments she is clearly understood to be a powerful old-tech entity and big guy will be watching her (and assumedly Sedna's) every move.
Pogopotamus:
How big would you say Ellie is? I'm guessing 6'1 around 210 -220 lbs.

Thinking about it the use of baseline as the reference does seem to me to support this. Gavia shorn of nanotech still has sur-human capabilities, and Ardent may have sur-human regrowth capabilities as well as non human mods.
Mind you we are assuming that the space habitat/earth habitat divisions mirror the pre blink divisions. That may not be a safe assumption.
