I think so, because it doesn´t say that you have to control that attachment.
The question is, what does "his" stand for? Is it the same as "he controls" or not?
I'm pretty sure the defending player and the reference to "his" is always the player the enemy is attacking, not who controls the character that happens to defend - in the case of sentinel.
Ah I'm not sure there. I know if a player puts an attachment on your character, you are considered to be the controller of that card. But I don't recall seeing anything about encounter card attachments.
You are not the controller of encounter card attachments unless the encounter card specifically grants you control of it.
Nice idea, except I just looked at the text from the quest card "Into the Pit" which states:
"...and have the first player attach Cave Torch to a hero of his choice..."
And "Search for the Chamber" uses the same verbiage:
"Search the encounter deck for Book of Mazarbul, and have the first player attach it to a hero of his choice."
Neither state you gain control of it, unlike the rules that state when another player puts an attachment on you, control changes to you.
Interesting finds though the ruling I was referring to from the FAQ:
(1.06) Control of Non-objective Encounter Cards Players do not gain control of encounter cards unless control of the card is explicitly granted by a card effect. When an encounter card (such as Caught in a Web, CORE 86) becomes an attachment and attaches to a character, that character’s controller does not gain control of the attachment.
Seeing as the discussion started with a question about treacheries as attachments, I continued from that PoV, though as you can see the objectives are another (and in this instance unrelated) matter.
Got a clarification, you do gain control of objective cards, so they would be valid targets for this cards shadow effect.
