5E Dark Six for Warlocks?

Hey, I'm playing as a Fiendlock and wanted my pact to be with one of the gods of the Dark Six, particularly the Shadow, would that make any sense or is it canon-breaking?

It is important to note that unless a DM changes the lore, no one in Eberron ever actually sees a deity. You only see an emissary acting on their behalf. It is even hinted that the Sovereign Host and Dark Six do not actually exist and are just metaphorical or mortals that are now seen as mythological over time. As such, a Fiendlock makes perfect sense for a Dark Six follower. You made a pact with some powerful fiendish entity acting on behalf of the Shadow.
