The Gatekeeper in Summer Knight
Salusen:

IDK. I always thought he might be Heimdall?
morriswalters:
I don't think he's Odin. But Rashid is way too convenient.
--- Quote ---The Merlin took a deep breath and then said, forced calm in his voice, “I suppose a few moments for thought are not unreasonable.”
“Thank you,” the Gatekeeper said gravely.
Five minutes went by like five thousand years. Molly sagged against me, so frightened she could barely stand.
“Enough,” the Merlin said, finally. “This travesty needs to end.”
“On that point,” the Gatekeeper said, “we agree.” And then he stepped forward to the circle marked on the floor, and smudged it with his boot, breaking the circle. He flicked a gloved hand, and the lock on the chained door sprang open and fell away, followed closely by the chains.
“What is the meaning of this?” the Merlin demanded.
The Gatekeeper ignored him and pushed open the door. One of the Wardens on guard outside stood in front of it, one hand raised as if to knock. He blinked at the Gatekeeper, and then looked over his shoulder and said, “It’s open, sir.”
“Get clear of the door, fool,” barked Ebenezar’s voice. “Get them inside. Hurry, man! They’re right behind us!”

A suspicious type might think that Rashid was somehow following the progress of Eb and the others as they ran from the Reds. And perhaps making sure the way they opened led them to the place they needed to be.

He was able to open a way to a dock off a scary island he was unwilling/able to set foot on that had recently been built.
@Mira: Aren't the Gatekeeper's robe and stole (or cowl or whatever) the standard Senior Council attire?
--- End quote ---
They are but I don't think they are all the same colors, also Jim has made the point of describe it
over several books. He never talks about the colors of Eb's robes or the Merlin for example.
sonwarrior:
We know that the Gatekeeper is the oldest wizard in the council. Would it even be possible for him to be a wizard with an immortal mantle? I liked Salusen's idea about Heimdall.
morriswalters:
I was thinking of Odin's missing eye, rather than a immortal mantle.
