He is black.
His name is Shruikan and he's Galbatorix's partner.
Shruikan was killed when Arya used the ancient Rider's sword to stab him through the eye into his brain during the final battle of the Inheritance Cycle. This act of bravery and skill allowed Eragon to finally defeat Galbatorix and end Shruikan's reign of terror.

Inheritance Cycle was created in 2002.
The second book in The Inheritance Cycle is titled Eldest.
Probably on the offical site for the inheritance cycle.
Brom, Oromis, Ajihad, Galbatorix, The Twins, Carn, Sand, Shruikan, The Forsworn, The Ra'zac, Lord Barst, Durza, Varaug, Garrow, Selena, Glaedr (body death), Queen Islanzadi, Wyrden, Hrothgar. Those are all the main characters I can think of, may have missed a few though.
Galbatorix stole Shruikan from one of the original Dragon Riders named Kialandi. Kialandi was forced to give up Shruikan after he was persuaded by Galbatorix through deceit and manipulation.
He has confirmed that the name is Inheritance.
The fourth and final book of The Inheritance Cycle is titled Inheritance. It was released by Alfred A. Knopf publishers on November 8th, 2011.
my personal favorite would be Eldest or Inheritance
The number of pages in the third book of the inheritance cycle is 763 pages
