In the fictional entitled In A Mirror, Darkly, Part II . He was played by Gregory Itzin . Admiral Black serves under the supreme fleet admiral, Admiral Gardner .

When we first meet Black, he is in command of the Imperial starship ISS ''Avenger'' , which is his personal flagship at the head of an Empire assault fleet. Almost the entire strike group has been destroyed in battle with a group of rebels; Black's ship is the only one left, and is on the verge of being destroyed itself. Suddenly Jonathan Archer arrives with the captured USS ''Defiant'' and easily dispatches the rebels with his own ship's superior weaponry.

Archer expects that Admiral Black will grant him permanent command of the ''Defiant'', but Black refuses, citing a need for the Empire to examine the ship and copy its technology. Black is subsequently killed by Archer.

Admiral Black may or may not have a counterpart in the 'normal' Trek universe - no such person has yet appeared onscreen.

Black was named (by writer/producer Mike Sussman ) after episode writer Chris Black , who was a staff writer on ''Enterprise'' for the show's first three seasons and who currently writes for '' Desperate Housewives ''.
