verbs that require as object forms???

[bosunyum]

I wonder if the following verbs can be accompanied by as +object, such as

I know her as a kind woman.
Peple characterize him as a generous and kind man.

also, is that possbile if i say like this?

I know her as being kind.
I characterize him as being generous.

also, can you give me more examples of the verbs that requre as... form?

I always appreciate your great help.

They're OK, though #3 sounds a bit stilted to me- I'd remove the gerund.
