Pate: beginning of book vs. end of book confusion

Recommended Posts

The way Pate dies in the prologue is similar to the way

Arya kills her first actual target in Braavos.

(spoiler tag as I can't currently recall whether it happened in Feast or Dance).

That, in addition to identical Pate walking around after having clearly died, and the description of the Alchemist being identical to Jaqens last appearance, all points to the fact that the Pate Sam meets is a Faceless Man who has taken Pate's place and identity.

So Jaqen is on a mission in the Citadel, and he needed a key from Pate, but the fact that he remained there for months after getting the key suggests that it isn't just an object that he wants, but also something (knowledge?) that isn't written down.
