The Player is one and the same as Frisk. They do not exist as a separate entity. The player being evil (in the game, that is) and Frisk being evil mean the same thing. We craft the personality of Frisk, our medium, our character, by, well.. basically roleplaying Frisk. Undertale might just be the first true RPG that’s a video game, if we take its meaning “role-playing game” literally-In the other games you’re always a hero, no matter what you do, and you pretty much have to kill. In Undertale, it’s more story-driven, and what you do have consequences. Chrono Trigger tried doing something similar with its trial, but it didn’t get very far. Undertale took that concept and expanded on it wildly.

But yeah, we’re Frisk. Not some super-secret third entity.
