Secret Recruits

Skeleton King: in one session selling items to the Appraiser (i.e., without closing the dialog), sell items worth a total of more than 2,000 gold.
Robber: jump more than 10 times in a row while getting out of bed on the boat.
Catapult: have at least 77 entries in Woodward's library.
Wraith: kill a Wraith, with the final (fatal) attack being from something other than your staff, sword, or the Hammerhorn (e.g. a fireball).
Black Dragon: tap on the painting of a Black Dragon in the Gallery dungeon. Black Dragon paintings are just as likely to spawn as any other background decaration.
Geltower: use any food item while the Geltower is your current target. It will also fully restore his health.
Ninja: tap the hidden ninja that is in the landscape behind the boat while docked in the Pagoda.

Confirming what others said re: Wraith. You need to fully kill the enemy with spells... not just get the last hit

Just got the wraith unlock and what worked for me was killing him with two fireball scrolls and nothing else.

I got the Wraith by using a fish on him.

Not useful, since the game doesn't tell you the names of the silhouettes.

Dunno about fatal attack, it did not work for me. I killed it with shock and two fireballs not using any other damage, it went fine.
