I hate to be the one to say it, but I think this definition of Shadow is off base.
Shadow's lack of depth and definition is due to external, not internal forces. His personality is broken. He obeys. He does not react with any real emotion. He accepts without question. Attributes of a long term victim. Like an abused child. He expects and accepts pain, in any and all it's forms. He is strong in his own way. He must be to have survived. But there is no strength of self in him. If that makes any sense to anyone.
