I'm in the school of thought that "actual killing" meant Mr. Schnee paid people to do his fighting for him. People with money tend to not get their hands dirty- they've got the money and influence to get people to do it for them. So, I have to conclude he is simply a businessman, who was targeted by the White Fang because of the fact he used Faunus labour. Even if he can fight, I doubt he would actually be on the front lines. Plus, this fight is probably urban, guerilla warfare. The encounters probably happen at times and places Mr. Schnee is not present, i.e. the docks. He's up there in his ivory tower not participating, but orchestrating the war- a chessmaster, as you put it.

I don't think it's a bad thought, I just think it's a little...complex for a semblance. A little too powerful, as well.
