'to be' or 'as being'

Your friend is but a fiend, who is without that which I have deemed, and indeed has been deemed by us all, as being that whose name Edward knows not, for he too has been ensnared by her untrammelled self.

The meaning is not important, the grammar is important.

Is 'to be' interchangeable with 'as being' in this sentence?

Thank you teachers.

It sounds good to my ear. There's no way to explain everything that people say in English. The language has evolved without constraints for about 1500 years. No one has kept a record of its growth and vagaries.
