I really enjoy the explanation of words and names on this list.

May I just add, that even his portrait is so dark, if not 'black' 
(I do not recall the exact wording, and havn't got my books with me 
now to check.)

So he really is the most 'black' of them all, which I guess might 
account for his worries about the last remaining, or not, heir of the 
family.
