I could imagine Loras and Renly, though it doesn't really illuminate anything.

Somewhat more interesting to me that I've been thinking about, the Maesters. The Old Citadel and Maesters existed before the Dragons came to Westeros. The actual dragons survived a mere 200 years, because the Maesters as a group killed them, according to off-hand comments by The Mage in Samwell's last chapter in AFfC. Slowly killed them, surely, secretly, but they died.

Maester's control all long-distance communication in all of Westeros. I honestly think that the amount of conspiracy that might exists amongst such an orginization to control, indirectly, so much of what is going on is huge. The Dragons returning would doubtless scare them though they seem to be treating it as nothing more then rumor so far. But the idea that Stannis is worshipping a different God, a God that does one magic of kind or another (everyone around the Red Priestess keeps saying stuff like that) might make them worry. I get the impression they don't like the idea of magic. Any magic.

So, if anyone was in a position to suddenly spark not only 300 years of unrest because they were stripped of the orders of the Star and Swords, but all the recent unrest because of the desecration of septs, septons, silent sisters, et al., the Maesters seem right up there. More so, if the Maesters are as against magic as they seem, that might mean they don't like any religion... or so it might be rumored. The kind of rumor a Faceless Man might evaluate.
