Surely one didn't have to be a 'black Numenorean' to be a traitor! After all Grima Wormtongue wasn't a "Black Rohir." Nor were the rebels of the Kin-strife B.N, but rather members of the GNP (Gondorian National Party).
The Mouth of Sauron: No way. There's no suggestion that he had any sort of ultraextended ringwraith-like lifespan (he's expressly a 'living man.') He is said to have entered the service of the Dark Tower 'when first it rose again'- which was only a few decades before the War of the Ring.
