He was the general who had won the Battle of Saratoga. He also hated G.W. in the beggining because like Lee he wanted to be the commander of the Continental army. But unlike Lee, Gates became friends with G.W. Gates looked down on G.W. and thought he was superior to him. But in the end G.W. earned his respect.

Horatio Gates was discrased. He abandoned his men on his horse and ran away so fast his men could not catch up to him. Washington would never do that. Horatio Gates is nothing as a general compared to Washington.
