^ Well, we see now that Arima and Eto crossed paths before and he was curious enough to talk to her. It seems she's the one that convinced him to help in her plan to create a revolution/overthrow V.

She probably created the title "One-Eyed King", being the creative and poetic of the two. A title to match her being the One-Eyed Owl, but also a title they used to keep V busy all this time while they worked to create their true King. They built up the myth of the King, this larger-than-life figure for ghouls to whisper about. A figure to draw in Aogiri recruits, and for V and the CCG to wring their hands over.

It seems neither of them felt they could actually lead the revolution themselves, but rather serve as sparks to ignite it. They needed someone else to actually go forward and make things happen, ultimately settling on Kaneki as the person to do it.
