KotS Robert + Reinforcements

The relevant bit of KotS Robert reads:

Any Phase: Kneel Robert Baratheon to play and "Any Phase" event card from your discard pile as if you had just played it from your hand. Then, shuffle that event card back into your deck.

I'm wondering how this interacts with the Reinforcements event cards, for example, Missing Recruit:

Any Phase: play if you have lost a M challenge this phase. Pay 1 gold to put Missing Recruit into play from your hand as a character with 3 STR, a M icon, stealth, and renown.

I'm probably over-thinking it, but the more i look at the weirder the wording on the Reinforcements events looks. Does the specific wording of the Reinforcements event mean it can only be put into play from my hand, or does Robert's "as if" wording meet the requirement?

Edit: and i didn't even realizing until reading my post that i'd overlooked a more important question: even if it works to put the Reinforcement into play with Robert, does it get shuffled right back into the deck or does it escape that part of the effect by becoming a character card?
