Who would think such a thing?

The Imp it is.

Winter is coming, warned the Stark words, and truly it had come for them with a vengeance. But it is high summer for House Lannister. So why am I so bloody cold?
 
No, ................, he plays the game of thrones..................................
 
Imp, could you give us the reference for Tyrion's thought? ADWD?

Certainly



Tyrion could not help but laugh.
Later, when Young Griff went up on deck to help Yandry with the sails and poles, Haldon set up his cyvasse table for their game. Tyrion watched with mismatched eyes, and said, "The boy is bright. You have done well by him. Half the lords in Westeros are not so learned, sad to say. Languages, history, songs, sums … a heady stew for some sellsword’s son."
"A book can be as dangerous as a sword in the right hands," said Haldon. "Try to give me a better battle this time, Yollo. You play cyvasse as badly as you tumble."
"I am trying to lull you into a false sense of confidence," said Tyrion, as they arranged their tiles on either side of a carved wooden screen. "You think you taught me how to play, but things are not always as they seem. Perhaps I learned the game from the cheesemonger, have you considered that?"
"Illyrio does not play cyvasse."
No, thought the dwarf, he plays the game of thrones, and you and Griff and Duck are only pieces, to be moved where he will and sacrificed at need, just as he sacrificed Viserys. "The blame must fall on you, then. If I play badly, it is your doing."
The Halfmaester chuckled. "Yollo, I shall miss you when the pirates cut your throat."
 
Imp, thanks. I always like to know the context. Usually, I can place it, but that one had me baffled.

Needle, I'll have to say it was Tyrion watching Oberyn taunt Gregor.

It was indeed Tyrion but this is when he is offering Mort gold to help him.

Happy to oblige.
 
Got it right and I was thinking of a different book and chapter. Some times it is better to be lucky than good.

Okay... If you can guess who is being described, you'll know who thought the following...

He is highborn enough... He has a cruel mouth, though, and a crueler tongue... Dark purple. Dark and angry.
