The Zoroark Memory Link heavily implies that it's actually N speaking as the Zoroark, and also implies that N wasn't noticed by former team Plasma members because he was in Zoroark form.

Some of N's kingly similarities to the King of the Abyssal Ruins were said to be a result of Ghetsis's grooming, but I always took the Abyssal Ruin's line of "king speaks to all" to mean that the Abyssal King was a Zoroark himself as well.
