Is an agreement with a merchant brother for a fixed monthly amount in exchange for a specified percentage of the profit considered usury, especially since the agreement was made with his consent and at his suggestion?

Setting a fixed monthly share of the profit is precisely usury (riba), and the consent of both parties does not remove its prohibition. What is permissible is to set a common percentage of the profit, such as half or a third, if profit is made.
