Who says:

Cover-your-ass was a fundamental rule for survival even of the fittest.

And also says:

The man at the top owes it to remember how he got there, I think. Noblesse oblige and all that.

And thinks:

XXX grinned in appreciation. So the worm could wriggle after all. Some administrators might have taken offense at the implied insubordination; he congratulated himself upon his sense of humor.

Soudha ?
The only "administrator" I can think of is Tien. And a "wriggling worm" is an adequate description....

And drank coffee from a mug saying:

And on the sixth day God saw He couldn't do it all, so He created ENGINEERS.

And tells at least one person (YYY) this:

I don't see why," said YYY. "XXX disconnects the smoke alarm in his quarters whenever he has a jubajoint."

"XXX says it's a privilege of rank," said YYY.

"Brucie-baby" Van Atta

Bingo! 1 point and the baton

[voralfred]

Who says :

“I’m not best pleased, you know, that you brought an assassin to my lady’s table without warning me.”

Bonus for 1/2 point :
What is the weak point of this assertion, as noted in the answer to it by the character to whom it was addressed ?

The same character says

[E Pericoloso Sporgersi]

Aw!!!
And I just *LOVE* too much of a hint!

OK, OK.....

“On your knees,” came an edgy tenor voice, sounding as sharp and dangerous as the blade. “Face the light.”

Hint #1: the "middle" of the plan imagined by "you" involves the character you have to guess
Hint #2 : "you", in the first quote, "your" in the second one and "you" in the third one all refer to the same character

This is Surakos Bosha, from the Penric stories.
And for the bonus: the weak point is that Bosha himself is already an assassin.

[voralfred]

Yes indeed, on both counts.

Next quote for you, and 1 1/2 points.
