Whatever you put into biochar as an inoculant will be trapped inside and gradually released over time.
If you use something with a high nitrogen content, it will naturally release nitrogen (bound nitrogen, of course).
Therefore, I highly recommend using a complex fertilizer, such as manure of any kind.
