Sedna didn't have a quantum-hardened spear punched through her brain. I suspect that the brain is the super-soldiers' only weak-spot. The only way to kill them is to cause fatal neurological injury.

He's dead or so severely damaged that healing/repair will take a significant period of time. Either way, Alice feels no urgency in dealing with what's left of him.
We know little about his imprisonment other than that "It took a....long time to break out," and that he was in there for about five millennia. He could have been burned to a crisp & taken 4,000 years to regenerate and still remain within the story narrative.
If he does survive, the story thus far suggests he'll be compelled to align with a strong leader, presumably Alice or Sedna (although Gavia is developing, too). Sedna's a very capable tactician, but Alice probably has more strategic ability. She may be planning to have a rebooted Church available to use against the Third Entity if need be.

OldGoat says:
--- Quote --- You can take "every other Praeses in orbit" at least three ways:
* Each and every one of the other Praeses in orbit,
* "Every other" meaning one has reported, the next has not, the one after that has, and so on, or
* There are other Praeses that are not in orbit.It makes me wonder if Laridia is being deliberately ambiguous.

Doubt it. Laridia has already said that "There are many Prases. Seedlings travel, and when they find worlds with life on them, they take root and begin to make inner realities."
So 'Other Prases in orbit' likely just means "those in orbit around Earth, not the others travelling, or around other planets". We already know that there are other Praeses not around Earth. And the "every other" meaning alternate is silly, but even if you take it as gospel, it only halves the number of Earth tourists and doesn't change anything.

The compulsions were intended to control the superwarriors, so having them able to server each other would be spectacularly unwise. They ought to have a compulsion only to serve humans. Of course that begs the question, what is a man "...that thou art mindful of him".

He could still be alive, but it would appear that Sedna left her bone shiv stuck in his skull. I'm not entirely sure where, but it could be a part of the brain that won't allow him to function as long as the knife is there. As such he could be comatose until it's removed which might be for the best considering it would only be a matter of time before he'd find another Pate to follow.
