Yep! My character's shadow can do stuff as well, but really any shadow can help. We once ran over a RCV with our car, and then I had the car's shadow "back" into the RCV for a followup attack (Shadow evocation). We still haven't actually *used* his tenebromancy ritual capability in-game yet.

We'll see how my game goes - you may get your wish if he gets pushed hard enough!

Cloak of Shadows would be an awesome ability for a Minor Talent assassin, too. I regret not having bought it as a Spell that my character had learned to do without trying. Maybe at the next Major Milestone!

Would anyone object if I (or someone else) were to add these characters to the DFRPG Resource Wiki?

Sounds like a good idea.  They are for sharing after all.

Have a look: DFRPG Resource Wiki; they're under Character Concepts; I've been spending my afternoon slowly adding them in. 
Tips for the Evil Henchman:
#12. If the seemingly helpless person you have just cornered is confident and unafraid despite being outnumbered and surrounded, you have encountered a Hero in disguise. Run while you still can.

basically this character was made for really high level games

his story is that he was a wizard with a wife and daughter one day some ramps came and killed them he tried to save them but was unable so he went balistic and killed the vampires and their human servants he then turned to necromancy to try and bring his family back from the dead regular necromancy wasnt strong enough so he turned to the teachings of Kemmler after bringing them back he saw they were imperfect abominations a mockery of their former selves so he was forced to banish the souls of his wife and daughter back to The Beyond eventually the council got ward of his doings and he fled to winter seeking assylum long story short Mab made him her Knight thus making him immune from the council since Winter is their ally and they need what help they can get for the war
Oh, hi, Mr. Warden!  How are you this fine day?  My, what a shiny sword you have there...
