You gain the additional benefit of having an Evil Character in battle after the Uzzah. Which is beneficial:
-If you are winning by the numbers. Your opponent will either have to waste enhancements killing off a lame duck or allow their initiative hero to die.
-If you are losing by the numbers. You have the opportunity to play a lot of damaging cards without worrying about targeting the rescuing Hero since he won't get a lost soul anyway. In a brigade with no CBN, not giving your opponent initiative to Negate is a good thing.
