In a manor house on the outskirts of Victorian era London, butler Sebastian Michaelis serves Lord Earl Ciel Phantomhive, the orphaned twelve-year-old head of an English noble family and a toy and candy empire, who serves directly under the Queen as her "guard dog". Sebastian carries out any task required by his master while solving the problems plaguing England with ease and perfection, because of his demonic lineage and Faustian contract with his master. The parents of Master Phantomhive estate were murdered when Ciel was younger. As a result, he made a deal with a demon asking for vengeance upon those who had disgraced him, and the Phantomhive name, in exchange for his soul.
Character:
- Sebastian Michaelis
Sebastian Michaelis (セバスチャン・ミカエリス Sebasuchan Mikaerisu) is the butler of the Phantomhive household and acts as Ciel's bodyguard. Sebastian often describes himself through his catchphrase "I am simply one hell of a butler" (私はあくまで執事ですから Watashi wa akumade shitsujidesukara). The phrase plays on the word "demon" (あくま akuma) and the phrase "to the end" (あくまで aku made). It can also translate to "I am a demon and a butler"
Ciel Phantomhive
Earl Ciel Phantomhive (シエル・ファントムハイヴ Shieru Fantomuhaivu) is the business-savvy, egotistical 12-year-old (13-year-old as of chapter 14) head of the English Phantomhive noble family after the deaths of his parents, Lord Vincent Phantomhive and Lady Rachel Phantomhive. He runs the Phantomhive Company, which manufactures toys and sweets, with the later addition of a food branch after winning a Royal Warrant. His right eye, which is usually covered with a black eye patch, bears a pentacle, the sign of the Faustian contract he made with the demon Sebastian. Sebastian says that the mark on Ciel is proof of their contract. He also says that demons mark their prey so that they can locate them.
