If the author tells the story but does not take part, it is told in person. first second third

If the author tells the story, but does not take part, it is told in the third person point of view. The third person point of view is used when the author does not refer neither to himself nor to the reader. Usually, authors using this point of view use the pronouns he, she and it to refer to the characters. This is the most common type of point of view used in different kinds of writing.
