Well, Ryukishi DID mention a certain 'venomous trick' that was supposed to appear in Ep3 that later appeared in Ep5... I did look for something while playing, but...

Could be related to this concept.

Of course, this wouldn't prove or disprove an impersonator theory like Shkanon, because Battler can see both of the people as long as he never sees them at the same time.
Even so, I've been thinking back and I can't recall a single individual that isn't introduced in first-person, but... I do recall Battler's first meeting with Maria being partially in third-person, which always struck me as odd.

And yes, an(other) impersonator is very much possible with this theory. ...I'm going to have to play Ep1 again.
