Or he could be shifting the pronouns based on the fact that "Igor" is a male name/character. I'm not sure. It's either huge and completely disproves my theory, or it's irrelevant and is totally meaningless. But I found that overlap pretty stunning (that Rial was doing exactly what Beard accused Igor of doing).
I really do wonder if we started thinking too hard about all of this. Originally all of our focus was on Rial and we thought Sabat was pulling the strings in the background. Then Beard comes out and says that there are two individuals: One pulling the strings in the background, and another who is a vocal lackey. But instead of refocusing on what's right in front of us (who he might not have named outright because of legal reasons) we started looking for other more fitting people.
It's all a bit confusing, which is why I didn't really want to bring it back up. But I hadn't seen anyone mention that fact about her attacking Todd, so it felt relevant.
