But in any case, the illustration is just an artistic interpretation of the theme. I mean, in the audiobook edition the Master is given a Scottish accent, which makes the Delgado identification equally tricky - that's just the reader's artistic interpretation. I'd say privilege Rudden's stated intention over either.{{unsigned-anon|2A02:C7D:B306:ED00:9457:EE4E:8C5F:39B2}} | But in any case, the illustration is just an artistic interpretation of the theme.

:I can confirm the Doctor who is actually the Doctor in the story never gets any he/him pronouns. When the TARDIS shows up 'A figure stepped out.

Those are, in fact, the only two pronouns for the Doctor in the story. (Cade, of course, gets gender-neutral pronouns too, as they are some kind of non-binary person.)
