I'm Slavic, and Chernabog was our " Slavic Hades", litteraly translated The Black God. People called him the evil, but he wasn't really evil god,  people only feared of him because dark and death was his job,, and had rivalry with Belobog, litteraly translated The White God, possibly nickname for Perun, " Slavic Zeus", second in comand, whose many characteristics were given toThe Saint Elijah.First was Svarog whose many characheristics were given to The God. His nickname was Rod, part of many words for family:

Porodica ( family)

Rod ( kindred)

Rodbina ( relatives)

Porod ( birth)

Rodni kraj ( hometown)...

On my language.

But I don't think that Shadow and Wraith are same, but maybe connected. If you carefully look picture, you'll see sad orange-yellow -red look in Wraith's eyes, while Shadow has evil white-silver-gray  I-'m-going-to-rape-you  look. I know, right? Originally Chernabog wasnt his given name. Disney refer to him as the Devil, they say so even in the one movie that he appears, right before his segment of Bald Mountain/Ave Maria. Years later was when someone thought of using Chernabog as his name, I find very interesting the information you have shared. I didnt knew all that, thanks.

Haha Yes, I also dont think they are the same, but I think they are related somehow.
