I already know the context since I read the article before answering your question (I had to do this because your quotation is not enough to understand the context, and is too long just for asking the function of the word, i.e., is not appropriate at all). Have you ever seen that the term 主 is used to represent master instead of 主人, not in the page you quoted but even in the whole game? It's just a coincidence that 主 makes sense there (主[しゅ] is obviously a misconversion of a typo of シュウ[しゅう].)
