Hic, haec, hoc can also be used when referring to people:
Quis est hic [Masc]? Who is this (person)? The sentence can also translate as 'Who is he?'
Quis est haec [Fem]? Who is this (person)? The sentence can also translate as 'Who is she?'
Remember that some nouns in Latin ending in -a e.g. agricola (farmer) are feminine in grammatical gender but refer to males. With words such as these – and there are very few of them – any word that agrees with them will be masculine:
Quis est haec? Who is this (person) / she?
> Haec est ancilla. This (person) / she is a maidservant.
Quis est hic? Who is this (person) / he?
> HIC est agricola. This (person) / He is a farmer. Even though agricola is grammatically feminine, because it is referring to somebody male, all agreements are masculine.
