1) All unknown persons in the texts are referred to as
he. So don't make any conclusions of it.
2) Like I said, anything in the narrations doesn't point at any player's role. We wrote this discussion by first writing the comments and tones of voices and then just added (by rolling a dice) random names to the blank spaces. So don't write a serious case based on something someone said in a narration.
3) I seem to be taking after my RL self and being always late...
Sorry.
