-==Background==
+{{R from fictional character|Inheritance Cycle}}
-Durza was born ''Carsaib'' (It is pronounced car-say, the "b" is silent). Early in his life, he was member of a nomadic tribe. Carsaib and his parents were abandoned by the tribe when Carsaib's father was accused of being an "oathbreaker". Following his parents' deaths, Carsaib found his way into the desert and was discovered by Haeg, a [[Sorcerer (person)|sorcerer]], who taught Carsaib how to use spirits and spells.

+{{R with Wikidata item}}
-Haeg was murdered by bandits, and, in his rage over his mentor's death, Carsaib summoned up avenging spirits too powerful to control. The spirits took possession of his mind and body, transforming him into the Shade named Durza.

-His hair is blood red, and his teeth are filed down to points and has skin as thin as parchment. "Streched over a skull to give the imitation of life" as they say in the book.
-==Role in Eragon==
-{{spoiler}}
-Durza is first introduced in the prelude of ''[[Eragon]]'', ''Shade of Fear'', when he attacks [[Arya (Inheritance)|Arya]], an Elf, in an attempt to steal the dragon egg she guards. He is able to capture her, but not before Arya teleports the egg to [[The Spine (Inheritance)|the Spine]], where it is found by [[Eragon (character)|Eragon]]. Eragon later encounters Durza in [[Gil'ead]]. They have a brief physical battle, and Eragon realizes that he does not have nearly enough strength to defeat the Shade. Fortunately, Durza is disembodied when [[Murtagh]] shoots him between the eyes, but he does not die. Later, during the battle of [[Farthen Dûr]], Eragon is forced to duel with Durza once again, and this time the two of them use magic and mental powers. Durza controls the Urgals to kill the Varden through their language. As they fight, Eragon breaks into Durza's mind and, unwillingly, sees visions and flashes of Durza's life. As he absorbs these images, Durza charges and wounds Eragon heavily before Arya and Saphira are able to come to the rescue. Eragon seizes the opportunity and strikes Durza in the heart, killing him once and for all. As Durza dies, three dark spirits leave his body, releasing all of the Urguls from his controlling link. The Cripple who is Whole saves Eragon from Durza's rampaging soul.
-Eragon does not escape unscathed from his deed; he bears a long, agonising scar on his back, similar to that borne by Murtagh, which pains him for many months. In ''[[Eldest]]'', the scar is finally removed by magical means.
