[PHANTOMHIVE FAMILY]

Phantomhive is the name of a prominent noble family based in England. The head of the house is entitled Earl. The current head is Ciel Phantomhive. The Phantomhive earldom is in charge of a strictly confidential agency known as "Phantomhive," which has been under the direct control of Queen Victoria for generations. The earls themselves are often called the "Queen's Watchdogs" or the "Aristocrats of Evil." The agency Phantomhive covers up any number of criminal acts carried out by the Royal Family and eliminates all who may seek to harm the Royal Family as well as every thread linking to the Royal Family's involvement, no matter how dirty the method. Fred Abberline describes Phantomhive as the opposite of Scotland Yard in that it uses the powers of "evil" to carry out Queen Victoria's orders. The Phantomhive earldom maintains the division between the "polite society" and the "underworld" of Great Britain. It employs its "monstrous authority" to rule over and police the country's underworld. It makes sure that the underbelly of the East End, and criminals and blackguards of other nations who congregate therein do not disrupt the polite society.[5] An interference with the polite society usually prompts the Queen to rely on the Phantomhive earldom to annihilate it, as clearly depicted when the Queen ordered Ciel Phantomhive to investigate and solve a number of cases. Since Phantomhive is a secret committee that carries out special duties, the funds for its activities and its rewards cannot be included in the nation's budget. Thus, the Scotland Yard members personally deliver the bribe money to the existing head of the Phantomhive family. The Phantomhive house has an underworld intelligence network that operates from Europe to Asia, known as the Aristocrats of Evil. The Phantomhive earldom's primary base of operations is the Phantomhive Manor. However, when carrying out missions, the Phantomhive head can temporarily relocate to his townhouse in London for convenience and to facilitate his task.

[The Aristocrats of Evil]

The Aristocrats of Evil's headquarters is Phantomhive Manor. Certain patrician members would gather with the existing head of the Phantomhive house, and aid him, the Queen's Watchdog, in eliminating all sources of the Queen's distress and stamping out illegal acts in the underworld that may affect polite society. Many members carry out clandestine intelligence operations to collect vital information relating to criminals, and impart such knowledge to the head of the Phantomhive house for him to eradicate said criminals. The vast and elaborate information network stretches from Europe to Asia. They are a highly exclusive group, and those not considered a part of them cannot maintain as close a contact—for example, Kelvin, an outsider, was snubbed by Diedrich (an Aristocrat of Evil) and Vincent Phantomhive (the head of the Phantomhive house at the time) when they were discussing an important case. The Aristocrats of Evil, also referred to as the Evil Noblemen or Villainous Nobles, are a special, secretive organization that involves the Phantomhive house, and its aggregate of upper-class associates

[GRIM REAPERS]

{{General Information}}: Grim Reapers must remain neutral between God and humans; they are strictly forbidden from intervening in or influencing human affairs. Grim Reapers receive a soul retrieval list of those scheduled to die from their higher-ups. The list contains substantial information on the human, including the person's name, parents, birth date, death date, cause of death, and any additional notes. Their principal job is to check each dying soul's Cinematic Record, or kaleidoscope of memories, one by one, to determine whether they deserve to die. For the human who receives the judgment, "this human should die," the Grim Reapers use their Death Scythes to sever their memories and souls from their bodies, resulting in the human's death. Afterward, they would promptly stamp "Completed" on the individual's file on the list. The human can be removed from the list only when they are judged to have been one "who has potential to be beneficial for this world"—notwithstanding, the number of humans who have that sort of value is few to none, according to William T. Spears. The Grim Reapers fundamentally work to confirm that the rare possibility of a "valuable" human is not the case each time, and they must do so as indifferently and level-headedly as they can. If a Grim Reaper makes a mistake or breaks a rule during their mission, they must return to headquarters and submit a written apology and report. The details of their punishment are unknown, though if the crime is severe, they may be suspended for some time. On the other hand, if a Grim Reaper quits or retires, they would no longer have their soul retrieval list, and their Death Scythe would be confiscated, unconditionally. Grim Reapers, particularly those of the Retrieval Division, also inspect irregularities and tamperings with life and Cinematic Records. In rare cases, they infiltrate places and blend in with humans to investigate.

{{Characteristics}}: Grim Reapers typically intend to eliminate anything that gets in their way. They and demons have a long-standing and mutual distaste for one another. They consider demons vulgar and a nuisance; demons disrupt their structured, meticulous work of reaping souls, due to their tendency to devour souls indiscriminately and in great quantities. Grim Reapers are similar to humans in strength and hearing. Unlike demons, Grim Reapers require sleep. They also need to eat. All Grim Reapers have chartreuse phosphorescent eyes, and wear glasses because they are extremely nearsighted. Grim Reapers without their glasses are normally presumed to be "deserters." Moreover, all Grim Reapers dress in black.

{{Abilities}}: Enhanced agility: Grim Reapers are considerably more agile than humans; it is as though they are "defying gravity." Enhanced endurance: Grim Reapers are appreciably tough, for they are able to endure attacks that could have killed a human. Invisibility: Grim Reapers can turn themselves invisible to humans. However, humans close to death may still notice concealed Grim Reapers. Soul review and collection: By using their Death Scythes, Grim Reapers can review a dying soul's memories, via its Cinematic Record, and retrieve the soul, once the formal assessment is finished.

{{Grim Reaper Dispatch}}: The community of Grim Reapers is referred to as the Grim Reaper Dispatch (死神派遣協会, Shinigami Haken Kyōkai). The organization is divided into administrative departments or districts; each section is charged with a specific duty. The Management Division is responsible for overseeing the dispatch members, and ensuring that their conduct is proper and acceptable. They will apprehend whichever Grim Reaper violated their ordinances. The Retrieval Division consists of members dispatched into the field to retrieve souls. The Personnel Division sends out reinforcements to the field, when necessary. The Administrative Division controls the use of Death Scythes; Grim Reapers must obtain permission to use their Death Scythes, and to modify them. There are different branches of the Grim Reaper Dispatch, separated by geographical regions. According to William, the London District, or the British Branch, is "perpetually understaffed."

{{Known Rules}}: Killing those not on the list of the dead is prohibited. Using a Death Scythe without submitting an application for said use is prohibited. Interfering with life and death in the human world is prohibited. ———————————————————— [Grelle Sutcliff]

{{Appearance}}: Grelle is an individual "covered in red." Grelle has long dark-red hair, shark-like teeth, and red-framed glasses accessorized with a chain with skulls. Like other Grim Reapers, Grelle has chartreuse phosphorescent eyes. Grelle's typical attire consists of a vest; gloves; a red-and white-striped bow around her neck; and red and black 4.33-inch (11-cm) high-heeled ankle boots. Grelle also sports a red coat she took from Angelina Dalles after fatally wounding her; she often wear it slung off her shoulders with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. Grelle has had her Death Scythe modified to operate like a chainsaw, for she considers the average Death Scythe old-fashioned. When posing as Angelina Dalles' butler, Grelle had brown hair, which was tied with a red ribbon, and she dressed in plain black clothes.

{{Personality}}: Grelle is an outspoken, flamboyant individual who unreservedly expresses herself and her desires. She possesses a strong predilection for the color red, which she believes can be used to achieve beauty. Combative, Grelle is quick to turn to violence to eliminate hindrances and has had numerous clashes with Sebastian Michaelis because of such an inclination. She has little to no patience for those who are bogged down by her emotions, having ruthlessly slain partner-in-crime Angelina Dalles for hesitating to kill her nephew. At first, Grelle was dismissive of the principles of Grim Reapers, which includes staying neutral in human affairs, as evidenced by her unlawful partnership with Angelina. However, after a period of suspension, Grelle has come to respect said principles, enough to preach the importance of soul-reaping to fellow Grim Reaper Ronald Knox. Nevertheless, due to her impulsive nature, she is still liable to transgress these principles, such as when she attempted to kill Aleister Chamber while ignoring Ronald's warning that killing humans is prohibited. Grelle is fond of incorporating double entendres and referencing plays and theatre in her speech; for instance, she described Angelina's death as a "falling of curtains" and compared her relationship with Sebastian to Romeo and Juliet. When posing as Angelina's butler, Grelle was timid and ineffective at her job; she failed to properly prepare tea and got lost while driving a carriage.

{{History}}: When Angelina Dalles began murdering pregnant prostitutes as Jack the Ripper and consequently filling up the soul retrieval list, Grelle followed her and took an interest in her. She sympathized with her since she could relate to her troubles—the inability to give birth—and decided to assist her, defying the Grim Reaper code of neutrality. Grelle disguised herself as the Burnett family's butler to avoid suspicion. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ [Wiliam T Spears]

{{Appearance}}: William is a tall man with short, neatly combed dark-brown hair. Like other Grim Reapers, he has chartreuse phosphorescent eyes. William wears rectangular glasses with four decorative lines on each temple. He often dresses in a dark suit, tie, black gloves, and dress shoes. William's Death Scythe is an extendable pruner; it is essentially a long, silver metal rod with blades at the end.

{{Personality}}: William is an aloof, dignified individual who strictly observes rules and formalities and expects the same from others. He performs his duties with diligence, precision, and impartiality. He does not take kindly to those who cause trouble, particularly if such trouble forces him to apologize for their actions and work overtime. William has no qualms about inflicting injuries on others, as evidenced when he jumped off a roof and landed on Grelle Sutcliff's head and when he attacked Sebastian Michaelis on a few occasions with his Death Scythe. William deems demons disgusting creatures; he has called Sebastian a variety of disparaging names such as "devilish fiend," "leech," "hound," and "vermin." Nevertheless, his decorum outweighs his distaste for demons; for instance, he once apologized to Sebastian on Grelle's behalf when Grelle violated the Grim Reaper code of neutrality. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ [Ronald Knox]

{{Appearance}}: Ronald is a young man with short blond hair and the underside of his hair dyed black, as well as a cowlick at the right side of his hair. Like other Grim Reapers, he has chartreuse phosphorescent eyes. Ronald wears thick-framed, pentagon glasses and a watch on his right wrist. He often dresses in a suit, tie, gloves, dress shoes, and occasionally a hat. Ronald's Death Scythe has been modified to resemble a lawnmower, on the principle of avoiding overtime. The Death Scythe comprises two wheels; four circular blades, with two straight blades set horizontal to them; a handle; and a small cord that activates the Death Scythe upon being pulled. The words "Death Scythe" are engraved on the front.

{{Personality}}: Ronald is a carefree, even-tempered individual who is frequently tardy. He seeks to accomplish his duties as swiftly as possible, as he dislikes working overtime; he once expressed envy toward William T. Spears and Grelle Sutcliff for their "easier" jobs. Nevertheless, he is willing to work hard when necessary. A sociable person, Ronald is fond of parties. On one occasion, he told William that he would like to finish his job quickly in order to attend a party, and, on another occasion, he mingled and drank with third-class passengers on the Campania. Furthermore, Ronald is suave, having charmed the receptionist at the Grim Reaper Dispatch into assisting him in modifying his Death Scythe and having offered to treat Mey-Rin to a drink during their first encounter. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ [Undertaker]

{{Appearance}}: Undertaker is a lean man with long gray hair—a part of it is tied in a single braid on the right side of his head—black fingernails, and a jagged scar across his face, neck, and left pinky finger; he has more scars all over his body. Like other Grim Reapers, he has chartreuse phosphorescent eyes, which he usually keeps hidden under his hair. Undertaker often dresses in a black robe, a long crooked top hat, and a gray scarf strapped across his chest and knotted by the hips. He wears black earrings; an emerald ring on his left index finger; a band of prayer beads around his neck; and, formerly, a chain with seven mourning lockets around his hip.While still an active Grim Reaper, Undertaker wore half-framed silver-square glasses, a black trench coat, a white dress shirt, a black tie, black gloves, and black shoes. He did not have any scars on his face and neck, but he did have his ear piercings. Undertaker's Death Scythe consists of a long curving silver blade extending from a miniature skeleton, whose skull is wrapped in a thorny vine, at the top of the handle; the rib-cage of the skeleton connects to the narrow stem of the handle, which ends in a lower backbone.

{{Personality}}: Undertaker is an eccentric, enigmatic individual who giggles frequently, appreciates laughter, enjoys frightening others and provoking reactions with his strange mannerisms, and spends a considerable amount of time in coffins. Because corpses, many of which victims of the underworld, are ordinarily delivered to his place of business, Undertaker is able to inspect them, whom he refers to as his "guests," remove their organs for research, and obtain useful information, which he refuses to exchange for "the Queen's money," as he dislikes Queen Victoria; rather, he expects those seeking information on the corpses to amuse him in some way. Undertaker is profoundly attached to the Phantomhive house, to the degree that he seceded from the Grim Reaper Dispatch to focus his efforts entirely on manipulating life and death in hopes of restoring the late Phantomhives to life. Despite years of experimentation where he resurrects the dead via connecting fake records to their Cinematic Records so that such will never end, he lacks the ability to construct a soul; the corpses he revives are Bizarre Dolls, which are, more or less, "flesh dolls without a self." Nevertheless, he, with steadfast resolve, continues to experiment and sees beauty in his Bizarre Dolls where others see depravity. He considers "Ciel Phantomhive" his masterpiece. Undertaker regards a particular chain of seven mourning lockets as his "treasure." (Engraved on one of the lockets is: 13 July 1866, Cloudia P.) He eventually entrusts his treasure to Ciel Phantomhive.

{{History}}: Undertaker is a retired Grim Reaper, and as Grelle Sutcliff and Ronald Knox claim, a "deserter." He had served as a Grim Reaper for a long time, repeatedly reaping souls in a relatively peaceful, indifferent fashion. This earned him the status of the best Grim Reaper in the Retrieval Division. Eventually, he grew tired of the mundane process. Sometime later, Undertaker established his funeral parlor, began to experiment and tamper with human life, and became acquainted with Vincent Phantomhive. His intermittent business relations with said Earl earned him the status as one of the "Aristocrats of Evil". ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥[MIDFORD FAMILY]

Midford is the name of a highly influential noble family based in England. The head of the house is entitled marquess. The current head is Alexis Leon Midford. The Marquessate of Midford is a house of knights that has protected England for generations. The primary duties of the Midford house are to serve Queen Victoria and to shield England from harm. The house greatly respects the code of chivalry. All members of the house have endured rigorous training in swordsmanship and fencing. The head of the house is also the head of the Order of the Garter. The Midford family's primary base of operations is Midford Manor, a large estate in the English countryside. ————————————————————

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ [Elizabeth Midford]

{{Appearance}}: Elizabeth is a teenage girl with emerald-green eyes and waist-long golden-blonde hair worn in two big drills, save for a slightly curled cowlick at the front. Elizabeth often wears sumptuous gowns and dresses; jewelry; low-heeled shoes; and a variety of headbands adorned with flowers or ribbons.

{{Personality}}: Elizabeth is a strong-willed and cheerful individual who has a fondness for anything cute, such as small animals and flowers. She is "stubbornly fixed" on her hobbies, being both extravagant and somewhat fastidious about her clothes and shoes. She tends to impose her sense of fashion and preferences upon others while doggedly refusing to take no for an answer; for instance, she insisted that Ciel refer to her by her nickname, "Lizzie" (リジー, Rijī).Elizabeth usually maintains an affectation of grace and innocence; her aunt instilled in her the notion that all ladies should act weak and endearing in front of their lords, smile often, and be surrounded by nice things, a belief which caused Elizabeth a severe emotional turmoil. Nevertheless, beneath the studied display of ladylike mannerisms, Elizabeth is a bold, fiercely talented swordswoman who wields double swords, much like her mother. She effortlessly slayed several Bizarre Dolls to protect Ciel and held her ground against Sebastian Michaelis, who deemed her strength admirable for a human. Her older brother once admitted that her swordsmanship is superior to his.Elizabeth highly respects her mother, her father, her older brother and her maid, who dote on her, and enjoys talking with other young ladies es. She loves Ciel dearly She is consumed with worry for him, and earnestly desires to protect him at all costs. Elizabeth's favorite foods are shortcake, strawberries, and cherries. She also likes strawberry and orange aromatized tea, or Shalimar tea. Her favorite flowers are pink marguerites, and she loves animals, especially rabbits, kittens, squirrels, and poodles. Additionally, she is afraid of ghosts.

{{History}}: Elizabeth was born to Francis and Alexis Leon Midford in 1874, a few years after her older brother Edward. Since his birth a year later, she was betrothed to her cousin, the future Earl of Phantomhive and Queen's Watchdog. As the House of Midford is a family of knights and her future role as the Watchdog's wife is a dangerous one, Elizabeth was trained in swordsmanship and fencing from a young age and proved herself to be a prodigy in this regard. When they were young, Elizabeth, Ciel, and his aunt Angelina Dalles regularly played together at Phantomhive Manor under Rachel Phantomhive's supervision. They were sometimes joined by Vincent Phantomhive. On one occasion, Ciel was fencing with her mother. He said that he was scared of strong wives, so he was glad that Elizabeth was the one who would marry him. Because she wished to become a wife that he could protect, she wanted to quit training, but her mother would not allow her to, for both Ciel's and Elizabeth's sakesOn December 14, 1885, Elizabeth finished Ciel's present—a handkerchief hand-embroidered with an ornate "C"—when her maid Paula burst into her room and informed her about the brutal murders of the Phantomhives. Later, Elizabeth wept at their graves, while overhearing a group of ladies, indifferent to their deaths, gossip about trivial things. One month passed, and Ciel suddenly returned with his new butler, Sebastian Michaelis. She was greatly relieved to see him, but then she realized that she had overgrown Ciel. From that point onward, Elizabeth sought to be a wife capable of protecting him. When Elizabeth won her fencing match and received new shoes as a reward, Paula commented that she had grown even taller. Dismayed, Elizabeth asked for a pair of low-heel shoes instead so that she could "smile and walk beside" Ciel, who was trying hard to be seen as an adult. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ [Paula]

{{Appearance}}: Paula is a young woman with dark-brown eyes and long, straight light-brown hair. She ordinarily wears simple, plain clothes, such as a dress with a white apron within Midford Manor and a coat with a hat and gloves in public.

{{Personality}}: Paula is a good-natured, obliging individual. She is immensely loyal to Elizabeth Midford, whom she works hard to keep happy and holds "most dear."

{{History}}: On December 14, 1885, Paula informed Elizabeth Midford about the Phantomhives' deaths. Sometime later, after Ciel Phantomhive returned, Elizabeth showed her new heeled shoes to Paula. Paula, while helping Elizabeth dress, noted that she has grown taller. Elizabeth became upset, prompting Paula to assure her that she is still very cute no matter her height. Nevertheless, Elizabeth refused to wear her new heeled shoes, opting instead for flats. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ [Edward Midford]

{{Appearance}}: Edward is a young man with short blond hair and emerald-green eyes. He resembles his mother, having inherited her piercing eyes. An aristocrat, Edward dresses in expensive, sophisticated suits, even though he personally does not care much about fashion; his sister often picks out his clothes and gives him recommendations.

{{Personality}}: Edward has inherited his mother's serious personality. His ingenuousness, however, derives from his father. A knight, he values honor, courage, integrity, and chivalry; he protected defenseless passengers on the Campania from Bizarre Dolls, and he prioritized the safety of women and children on lifeboats. He adheres to tradition and believes that women should dress conservatively. Edward is modest and deems himself unexceptional compared to his peers, whom he has profound respect for, such as Ciel for shouldering heavy responsibilities as the head of the Phantomhive house. As the Prefect of the Green House, Edward is earnest and trains strenuously to prepare for the role. According to Sebastian, Edward is a fast learner because he genuinely respects his superiors and models himself on them. Moreover, Edward is exceedingly protective and possessive of his sister; he is often angry when she is in the company of Ciel, and he once threatened that, if any harm were to befall her, he would not forgive Ciel. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ [Francis Midford]

{{Appearance}}: Francis is a middle-aged woman who keeps her hair in a tight bun, save for a slightly curled cowlick at the front. She is reputed to have retained the beauty of her youth, and she is well-toned due to her intense physical training. Francis often wears ornate dresses with white gloves and a short beaded necklace.

{{Personality}}: Francis is a proud, austere individual who exhibits decorum and a candid critic of those who do not; she frequently upbraids others for their slovenly appearance or their unseemly behavior and may take it upon herself to correct said appearance or behavior. A fastidious person, she is attentive to detail and cleanliness, and she believes that a disorderly home environment will ultimately lead to moral decadence. She strictly observes rules, and she compels the observance of such in others. Additionally, she tends to arrive at destinations earlier than expected or planned. Moreover, Francis' prowess as a swordswoman is exceptional. She continues to train rigorously and with unflagging dedication even after marrying Alexis Leon Midford.

{{History}}: Francis first encountered Alexis Leon Midford when she defeated him in a fencing tournament held by Queen Victoria. She chided him for being weak, despite his position as England's lead knight. Francis eventually got married to Alexis and they had two children together: Edward and Elizabeth. In March 1886, Francis attended Ciel's titling ceremony as the Earl of Phantomhive. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ [Alexis Leon Midford]

{{Appearance}}: Alexis is a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows, a mustache, a cleft chin, and slicked-back flaxen hair. He often wears formal, sophisticated clothing.

{{Personality}}: Alexis is a warm, affable individual, who, unlike his wife, is disposed to openly show affection. As the Head of the Order of the Garter, Alexis is a valiant leader and fighter who honors the the code of chivalry and who is resolved to protect the defenseless, as demonstrated when he guarded the other passengers on the Campania from Bizarre Dolls.

{{History}}: Alexis attended Weston College with his future brother-in-law Vincent Phantomhive. He was the prefect of Green Lion's Fag. Alexis eventually became the distinguished head knight of England. In a fencing event held by Queen Victoria, he was defeated by Francis and subsequently married her. They went to have two children together: Edward and Elizabeth. Years later in March 1889, Alexis and Francis attended Ciel's decoration as the Earl of Phantomhive; the former took part in the ceremony. [Earl ‘Ciel’ Phantomhive]

{{Appearance}}: Ciel is a short, slight teenage boy with grey-tinged, blue-black hair and rich peacock-blue eyes. As described by his tailor, Nina Hopkins, Ciel has a well-proportioned body: His arms and legs are thin, his shoulders slim, and his waist narrow. On the left side of his body is the mark of the "noble beast", which he was branded with during his time as a slave in a cult. Around this time, his slave-traders also pierced his ears to attach a price tag. Since then, he wears earrings. Ciel typically dresses in a way that suits his noble standing, and he has an extensive wardrobe. He almost always wears a black eye-patch made of gauze with a single cord over his right eye to hide the location of his Faustian contract with Sebastian Michaelis. When in disguise, he trades the black eye-patch for a white patch that resembles a transdermal patch, which is fastened over his ear with two cords. Ciel sports two rings. The one on his left thumb is an ornate silver piece that holds an emerald-cut deep-blue sapphire; it is a one-of-a-kind family heirloom that has been passed down for generations. The one on his right hand is a gold signet ring in the form of the Phantomhive crest, which he uses to stamp the wax seal on documents. Upon his return, the ring was given to him by Angelina Dalles, who told him that it was the only ring that had not been destroyed in the fire that killed his parents.

{{Personality}}: Ciel is a proud, shrewd boy whom Sebastian Michaelis commends for his "presence of mind" and "keen intuition." A chess prodigy, he often navigates challenging situations by visualizing making chess moves, with Sebastian as his pawn. His paramount goal is to exact revenge on those who harmed him and his family, and he is willing to sacrifice his soul to accomplish it. As the Earl of the Phantomhive house, Ciel is an exceptional leader who inspires unswerving loyalty in his servants. Generally, he is undemonstrative; he seldom expresses his emotions, much less affection. Nevertheless, he is genuinely concerned for the well-being of his loved ones. For instance, he once jumped in front of a bear to guard Elizabeth Midford, and he also attempted to protect her from a horde of Bizarre Dolls. Additionally, he is attentive to the needs of his servants; when he heard that they desired new items, he took them shopping and provided them with necessities. Moreover, Ciel is accustomed to luxury. He has difficulty in dressing himself and doing household chores. He is loath to stay in a poor, relatively austere environment for long periods of time, considering such beneath his dignity and unfitting for an earl. As the Queen's Watchdog, Ciel works diligently and does not balk at resorting to morally dubious means in order to fulfill his missions; for instance, he was readily prepared to bribe Fred Abberline to gather more information, which he viewed as flexibility on his part. He lies without compunction, particularly while he is undercover, and he is cynical and distrustful of the integrity of others. Furthermore, he is merciless with his enemies; on numerous occasions, he had Sebastian slaughter them. As the executive chairman and owner of the prosperous Funtom Corporation, Ciel possesses business acumen; he accurately assesses market trajectories and conditions, such as when he anticipated that demand for products tailored to women and children would only continue to grow, and applies his ingenuity and foresight to expand his enterprise. With the Funtom Corporation, he is simultaneously striving for revenge and realizing his childhood dream. His greed has "no boundaries"; for instance, when he learned that a popular performer could double the sales of his new product, he immediately put up advertisements of her. Although Ciel is, for the most part, wise beyond his years, he can be childish. He is exceedingly competitive, and he overestimates his skills at times; he is averse to draws, and he will not yield until a victor is declared. Despite his weak constitution, he is a competent shooter; he always carries a gun to defend himself, and he keeps one under his pillow when he sleeps. Ciel suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder due to his time as a slave in a cult. He occasionally has flashbacks of the incident and loses awareness of his surroundings. Ciel is fond of sweets and allergic to cats. Like his mother, he has asthma.

{{History}}: On December 14, 1875, Ciel Phantomhive was born to Vincent and Rachel Phantomhive. His aunt Angelina Dalles helped to deliver him. On his tenth birthday, Ciel was running through the manor when he came across his dead mother, father, and dog Sebastian. He called for help and ran into Tanaka, who urged the young boy to flee. Before he could say more, however, Tanaka was attacked from behind by an unseen assailant who then grabbed Ciel. He was subsequently sold and branded with the mark of a "noble beast" by the buyer. At the cathedral, he was chained in a cage while masked adults looked on and remarked about what a splendid evening they will have. Ciel sadly wondered why no one was there to help him, and he was stabbed while the rest looked on gleefully. Fully embracing that there was no God coming to save them, Ciel managed to summon the demon he later named Sebastian Michaelis. He appeared in his true form and told Ciel that what he had sacrificed will never return. Sebastian asked Ciel if he wanted to make a contract and have his wishes granted. Ciel declared that he wanted the power to take revenge on those who mistreated him. The cultists tried to stop him from talking, but Ciel and Sebastian forged their contract. Sebastian asked him where he wanted his seal, saying that the more visible it is, the stronger the contract is. Ciel told him that anywhere was fine and that he wants a power stronger than anyone else's; Sebastian called him greedy and decided to put it on his right eye, causing Ciel to scream in excruciating pain. He then commanded him to kill his attackers; Sebastian then burnt down the building. Finally, Ciel stated his absolute orders: Sebastian must protect and never betray him, to obey his orders no matter what, and never to lie to him. The first place they went after these events was to the Royal London Hospital where his aunt worked; he was reunited with Tanaka, and a carriage was arranged to bring him back to his manor. He and Sebastian viewed the ruined manor, then visited the graves of him and his parents. Sebastian left briefly, and when Ciel returned to him, he found the manor had been rebuilt by the demon. Ciel later took his place as the Earl of Phantomhive and the Queen's Watchdog. He established Funtom Corporation in the same year, fulfilling his childhood dream of opening a toy store in London. A year later, Ciel summoned Sebastian to his room, complaining of a wobbly tooth that was preventing him from eating his food properly. After examining it, Sebastian decided to forcibly take it out, much to Ciel's chagrin. Ciel attempted to protest the idea but Sebastian proceeded regardless, under the impression that he was doing his young master a favor. After the tooth's removal, Ciel threw an angry fit at Sebastian. Ever since he has been unwilling to allow Sebastian to check for cavities in his teeth when they start to wobble. Sebastian endeavored to recruit servants for Ciel. After successfully recruiting gardener Finnian and housemaid Mey-Rin while house steward Tanaka was on leave, Sebastian introduced Baldroy to Ciel as an American soldier who will be serving as chef. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ [“Ciel” Phantomhive]

{{Appearance}}: "Ciel" looks identical to his twin brother, Ciel Phantomhive: He is a short, slight teenage boy with grey-tinged, blue-black hair and rich peacock-blue eyes. However, unlike Ciel, he does not bear a Faustian contract seal on his right eye, and his bangs curl to the left rather than the right. As an aristocrat, he typically dresses in stylish, sumptuous clothes.

{{Personality}}: Ciel" is a self-assured, well-spoken, and astute individual who remains unruffled even in the face of severe accusations. He is exceptionally skilled at persuading others to do his bidding and turning the tide to gain an advantage. As a child, "Ciel" was cheerful and exuberant. He played regularly with Elizabeth Midford, and he did not balk at engaging with others at social events. A caring brother, he would keep Ciel company whenever the latter fell ill, bring him warm milk in the middle of the night, and secretly give him cough drops. Moreover, he was considerably attached to Ciel: He expressed his dismay at the prospect of being separated from Ciel in the future, and once bluntly told his father that he had no need for "fake brothers." As a Bizarre Doll, "Ciel" retains his confidence, social grace, and shrewdness. He has artfully and ruthlessly maneuvered his way into reclaiming the Earl of Phantomhive title, as well as engineered situations where he would emerge victorious. Moreover, he now exhibits malevolence toward Ciel and his allies, and intends to defeat them with Undertaker's assistance.

{{History}}: "Ciel Phantomhive" was born to Vincent and Rachel Phantomhive on December 14, 1875, a few minutes before his younger twin brother Ciel.[17]

"Ciel" was content being his father's successor until Vincent took his sons to the nearby town for a lesson,[18] and Ciel entrusted "Ciel" that he would like to move out of the manor and open a toy shop in London in the future.[19] Not wanting to part with Ciel, "Ciel" told his parents that he did not want to become Earl anymore and wished to run a toy store with his brother instead.[20] After a conversation with Rachel and Vincent, "Ciel" reluctantly accepted that he did not have any other choice but to become the Earl of Phantomhive.[21]

Years later, on his and his brother's tenth birthday, "Ciel" was woken up by Ciel and given one of the two rabbit fèves from their advent calendar. They wished each other a happy birthday before they got dressed and went downstairs to marvel at the decorated dining room and the presents under the tree.[22]

The twins were then congratulated by their parents and given the day off from their studies. Happily, "Ciel" and Ciel walked around the manor until they arrived at the kitchen. There, Tanaka and the cooks shooed them away as they were not allowed to see their birthday cake until the party started. Tanaka told the twins to go to their room and that he would come to get them ready for the party at six o'clock.[23]

"Ciel" and Ciel went to spent the time waiting by playing games in their room and fell asleep after a while.[24] When they woke up, it was already six o'clock, but Tanaka still had not arrived. They continued to wait, and when there was still no sign of Tanaka 45 minutes later, the twins became anxious,[25] and "Ciel" decided to go and find out what was wrong. He refused his brother's wish to accompany him and told him to stay in their room before he left.[26]

"Ciel" wandered around Phantomhive Manor in search for answers. Eventually, he discovered his parents' corpses and retrieved the blue Phantomhive ring from his father's finger.[27] At some point during the attack on the manor, something terrible happened to "Ciel".[28] Alongside Ciel, he was later kidnapped by human traffickers and tagged.[29]

The twins were put in the same cage, and "Ciel" apologized to Ciel for being pathetic and "a failure of an older brother" as he had not been strong and powerful enough to protect him. In their misery, the brothers began to cry and embraced each other.[30] At night, "Ciel" woke up his brother to show him the blue Phantomhive ring and tell him that it would help them return home. Then, "Ciel" swallowed the ring to ensure that it would not be taken away from them. The next day, the twins were brought by a man and taken to his mansion. There they were washed, dressed, and given food. While Ciel believed that they had been saved by a "nice man," "Ciel" remained suspicious.[32]

Later on that day, the twins were dressed for a "party." The man took them to a cathedral where a cult consisting of people wearing masks in the shape of moths had gathered.[33] Ciel asked the man, who had brought them there, where they were, but he only replied that they did not have to be afraid before announcing to the crowd that the twins would be their next sacrificial lambs and that they had to defile their pure and innocent souls in order to "prepare" them for the ritual.[34] "Ciel" and Ciel were then violated by the cultists.[35]

Afterwards on the day before Christmas,[36] "Ciel" and Ciel were branded with the "mark of the beast."[37] In the following month, the twins were continuously violated, injected with an unknown substance, force-fed, and abused in various different ways.[38] However, as they were together, they did not completely lose hope; and "Ciel" declared that he would always protect Ciel.[39]

At the end of this month, "Ciel" was used as a sacrifice in a ritual to summon a demon while Ciel had to watch, helplessly.[40] In the process of the sacrifice, "Ciel" was stabbed in the chest and died.[41]

The ritual was successful. However, the summoned demon unexpectedly chose to form a contract with "Ciel"'s twin instead of with any of the cultists.[42][43] Upon Ciel's request, the demon killed the cultists[44] and recovered the blue Phantomhive ring from "Ciel"'s body[45] before they left and set the cathedral on fire.[46]

Shortly after Ciel and the demon left, Undertaker saved "Ciel"'s corpse from the burning cathedral[47] and turned him into a Bizarre Doll.[2] Over the next three years, Undertaker kept "Ciel" "alive" and even matched his growth to his brother's. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ [Vincent Phantomhive]

{{Appearance}}: Vincent was a handsome, well-dressed man with short, bluish-black hair; blue eyes; and a beauty mark under his left eye.

{{Personality}}: Vincent was a courteous, chivalrous individual who inspired unswerving loyalty in his servants. A gentleman, he would consistently spare a minute to exchange pleasantries and acknowledge others. Such is demonstrated when he, upon noticing that Angelina Dalles was self-conscious about her red hair, made a point to compliment it. Moreover, Vincent was a devoted husband and loving father; his family was of paramount importance to him. Additionally, Vincent was an astute and cunning leader. He was skilled at manipulating others, and he was exceptionally confident in himself and his people. For instance, in his youth, he challenged Diedrich to a bet: Whoever loses in Weston College's annual cricket tournament must perform a free request for the winner. Despite the odds stacked against him—that is, his house had never won before—he, through his shrewdness and ingenuity, guided his house to victory, brought about the "Miracle of Sapphires," and secured Diedrich's allegiance. Vincent was, thus, admired by many; in fact, brother-in-law Alexis Leon Midford regarded him as a "genius game-maker."

{{History}}: Vincent was the head of the Phantomhive household and acted as Queen Victoria's Watchdog. As a young man, Vincent attended Weston College with Alexis Leon Midford and Diedrich. In his final year, he became the prefect of the Sapphire Owl dormitory. One day, Vincent was idly reading a book on the lawn, while neglecting the preparations for the annual cricket tournament on June 4th, when he was approached by an exasperated Diedrich. Vincent made a snide remark that "everything German is pretty tough to handle," fueling Diedrich's anger. Diedrich swung his cricket bat, and missed Vincent, hitting his book instead. He complained that he was forced to handle all the preparations himself, and commented that since the leader is representative of the pack, the rest in Blue House must be awful as well. Provoked, Vincent proposed a contest: whichever dorm is the winner of the tournament will have the loser perform a free request for him. Later, Vincent led his house to their only triumph in the annual cricket tournament—this astounding event was dubbed as the "Miracle of Sapphires." Afterward, at the Swan Gazebo, Diedrich accepted his loss to Vincent and asserted that he will carry out Vincent's one request. Vincent then told him to become his fag, much to Diedrich's alarm as they are from separate dorms; however, Vincent stated that he must keep his promise regardless and that whenever he is to call him, Diedrich must come without question. He added that their affiliation will continue past graduation and drifted on a boat away from Diedrich (though he was pursued by him), relishing in his success at finally attaining a "loyal German dog.At one point in time, the father of Angelina and Rachel introduced them to Vincent. Vincent complimented Angelina's hair; he eventually got betrothed to Rachel. A few years later in 1874, Vincent married Rachel, and the following year, Rachel gave birth. Vincent often spent time with his family whenever he got home from work or was free from work. He also personally taught his son how to govern an estate. While he was alive, Vincent frequented a variety of parties that many other nobles attended. At one of these parties, Vincent and his son were introduced to Kelvin, a philanthropist. They had a brief conversation before Chlaus arrived, and Vincent suggested going with him to Germany next time to lessen whatever tension has arisenKelvin made a continued effort to network with Vincent as he had become entranced with the Phantomhives, and after searching desperately, he discovered that Vincent and his acquaintances were "Aristocrats of Evil." In the meantime, Vincent, having called Diedrich back from Germany, told him he needed his help with a matter. He added that he did him a huge favor two years ago on the Windsor case and that Diedrich was indulging in his food; Diedrich then reluctantly agreed to listen. Suddenly, Vincent was approached by Kelvin, and Diedrich impatiently suggested changing rooms. Vincent excused himself from Kelvin and followed Diedrich, leaving Kelvin with the impression that "special people can only be touched by other special people." On December 14, 1885, Vincent, Rachel, and the family dog, Sebastian, were killed in a fire, his son kidnapped, and his manor was burnt to the ground; the perpetrator of the disaster is still unknown. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ [Rachel Phantomhive]

{{Appearance}}: Rachel is a woman with long, strawberry-blonde hair and blue eyes. As a noble, she often wears elaborate dresses. Her sister once described her as beautiful.

{{Personality}}: Rachel is a kind, gentle, patient, and unpretentious individual. She cares deeply about her family, which is demonstrated by how hard she worked to cheer up her sister. As a mother, she can be rather strict; she occasionally spanks her son for misbehaving. Additionally, Rachel has asthma, which motivated her sister to become a doctor in a bid to cure her.

{{History}}: Rachel was Angelina Dalles' older sister and met Vincent Phantomhive around the same time Angelina did. She fell in love with Vincent, and they married a few years later in 1874. In 1875, Rachel became pregnant and on a very snowy December 14, she gave birth to Ciel Phantomhive. Angelina assisted her during the birth. Due to her asthma, Rachel was not able to run around and play with Ciel and Elizabeth Midford much, although she took joy in watching Angelina play with them. Her asthma also inhibited family outings. At one such occasion, Vincent and Ciel, with Diedrich's assistance, even cooked for Rachel to help her get better. It did work so well that they could go on a boat ride the day after—however, without Ciel who had still not recovered. When Angelina lost her husband and child after a horse carriage accident, Rachel frequently visited her at the hospital and tried to cheer her up. She acknowledged the gravity of Angelina's loss and wept for her. When she heard that Angelina would be out of the hospital soon, she insisted that Angelina would come to Phantomhive Manor for the twins' birthday party in celebration of her recovery. However, on December 14, 1885, Rachel and Vincent were killed and left in the burning estate. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ [Angelina Dalles]

{{Appearance}}: Befitting her title as "Madam Red," Angelina possesses red eyes and crimson hair styled as a bob cut. She often wears red lipstick and clothing; one of her customary outfits consists of a red skirt, a red waistcoat, a ruffled white blouse, a red hat, and black gloves. On occasion, she carries a red parasol.

{{Personality}}: Angelina is an outgoing, frivolous individual with an earthy sense of humor. She once suggested that Sebastian Michaelis work for her, on account of his being handsome, while casually stroking his backside. On another occasion, she attempted to make Undertaker laugh by telling him a dirty joke. Despite her crude personality towards attractive men, Angelina is a misogynist and believes that ladies are more attractive if they act innocent, weak, naive, fragile, and cheerful, particularly around their lords; she had instilled this very concept into the young Elizabeth Midford, a well-meaning but terrible belief which caused her niece a lot of emotional harm. Angelina cares deeply about her family. She admires and loves her sister, Rachel Phantomhive, whose asthma motivated her to become a doctor, as she wanted to cure her condition. Moreover, Angelina treats Ciel Phantomhive as though he were her own son, she once requested that Sebastian protect him, and she could not bring herself to harm him, even when they were adversaries. The deaths of her family members have greatly traumatized Angelina. As a result of said deaths, she turns to violence and develops a cruel disregard for human life. She bears a grudge against prostitutes for getting abortions while she is unable to give birth, and such drives her to murder them alongside Grelle Sutcliff as Jack the Ripper. Angelina has a complicated relationship with her hair and the color red. Although she considers red as the color that defines her, hence her title of "Madam Red," she also harbors resentment toward it. Initially, she loathed her red hair, which she inherited from her father; she would cover up her hair and keep her bangs long to hide her face. After Vincent Phantomhive, the man she loved, stated that he liked her hair, as it reminded him of "the colour of lycoris, a colour that blazes the earth," she cut her bangs, took pride in her hair, and embraced the color red. When Vincent and Rachel married, Angelina disliked red again, even though she was glad that the two people she loved most were happy. After she lost her husband, her baby, and her womb in a carriage accident, as well as the rest of her family to a fire, she described red as the color she hated the most.

{{History}}: Angelina fell in love with Vincent Phantomhive when she was fifteen, but felt dejected when she discovered that her sister was marrying him. Because she was very close to her sister and cared deeply for her, she tried to be happy that the two people she loved most were getting married to each other. However, following their marriage, she came to hate the color red again. On December 14, 1875, Angelina helped to deliver her sister's child, Ciel. Afterward, she worked to earn her doctor's license, against the wishes of her parents. Angelina also attended lavish parties, which she claimed that she hated, in red dresses and subsequently became renowned first as "Lady Red," then as "Madam Red." She frequently played with Ciel and Elizabeth Midford, stating that these were the people she loved the most. Angelina later married Baron Burnett, who treated her lovingly and gently; he told her he did not mind that she harbored feelings for another man. She called him an honest and pure man who treated her well and made her happy. She became pregnant, but after a carriage accident in which her husband was killed, her womb and unborn child had to be removed to save her own life. Rachel frequently visited her in the hospital, and Angelina was grateful for her company. After Angelina recovered, Rachel invited her to the tenth birthday party of her nephew. Despite her reluctance, she decided to attend the celebration at her sister's insistence. Upon arriving, she witnessed the Phantomhive Manor in flames—the burning red of the fire reminded her of the color she despised. Subsequently, she learned that Rachel and her husband were killed in the fire and their sons' bodies were never found. She was devastated by the news, but additionally envious of her sister because she died with the person she loved, while Angelina had to carry on living. Her losses also caused her great strife as a doctor, since she was obliged to regularly perform abortions on prostitutes, who considered pregnancy nothing but a nuisance. Shortly after this, Angelina began to murder her patients who requested abortions; she declared that because they did not want their life, womb, or happiness, she would take it from them. During one of these murders, she met the Grim Reaper Grelle Sutcliff, who offered to assist her. A month after the fire at Phantomhive Manor, Ciel came back alive with a butler to the Royal London Hospital, and Angelina was overjoyed; she did not mind that he refused to share what happened, stating that his safe return was enough. There, Angelina arranged for a carriage to take them to the ruins of Phantomhive Manor. She also gave Ciel the only family crest ring that survived the fire. At Ciel's decoration as the Earl of Phantomhive, Angelina told Sebastian, who was watching from the hall, that he should have watched it up closer because he was "as good as family to Ciel by now." He disagreed, saying that he is simply one hell of a butler. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ [Baldroy]

{{Appearance}}: Baldroy is a sturdily built man with dirty-blond hair and turquoise eyes. He ordinarily dresses in a chef's uniform, which includes a long white apron. Occasionally, he has goggles hanging around his neck and a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

{{Personality}}: Baldroy is a tough-minded, level-headed American veteran. Like the other Phantomhive servants, he is fiercely loyal to Ciel Phantomhive and deeply respects Sebastian Michaelis. Baldroy takes charge of the other servants whenever Ciel and Sebastian are not around, such as when he coordinated an attack on the first-string circus members. He remains calm and sensible even during dire situations and focuses on how to proceed rather than succumb to his emotions. According to Sebastian, Baldroy's judgment is sharp, and he acts without hesitation; his recklessness increases his odds of survival. He often commands and unites the other servants, and assuages their fears. Moreover, Baldroy suffers from survivor's guilt for having survived the war in America when his comrades did not. Baldroy is passionate about cooking. Having served in war, he is accustomed to hard work and a fast pace. He keeps high-powered weapons on hand and tends to use a flamethrower or a blowtorch in order to cook food as swiftly as possible, which usually results in disaster. He occasionally describe things in terms of war, such as when he called mice "the enemy," the manor "the battlefield," and the hunt to catch them "a fight." In addition to a fondness for cooking and warfare, he is proud of his ability to repair electronics.

{{History}}: At one point, Baldroy had a "terrible time" with snakes in Arizona, and fought in a gruesome war in America,nwhere he lost all his comrades. During one conflict, Baldroy and his fellow soldiers took refuge in a cave. Most of them succumbed to their injuries. Later, while starving, Baldroy was interrupted by Sebastian Michaelis, who entered the cave with the intention of recruiting him into the Phantomhive household to serve Ciel Phantomhive. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ [Mey-Rin]

{{Appearance}}: Mey-Rin is a young woman with hazel eyes and straight maroon-red hair, which is often tied in high pigtails. She wears large, thick, round glasses, a gift from her master, in order to see up close; her vision otherwise is extraordinary, as she can see and shoot targets from a thousand miles away. Mey-Rin dresses in a maid's uniform designed by Nina Hopkins, which consists of a chemise with black stockings, a bulletproof corset, a petticoat, a dress with a matching apron with special buttons that enable her to tuck her skirt in the garter belt and carry magazine pouches, a white frilly cap, and lace-up boots

{{Personality}}: Mey-Rin is a determined, strong-willed individual who seeks to prove her worth. Like the other Phantomhive servants, she is fiercely loyal to Ciel Phantomhive and deeply respects Sebastian Michaelis, whom she has a crush on because of his appreciation of who she is and her skills as a sniper. Upon working for Ciel, she is allowed to wear skirts, which pleases her, and she is given glasses, which she cherishes and refuses to replace with new ones. She tends to remove said glasses whenever she assumes her role as a sniper so that she can focus on great distances. Mey-Rin, although clumsy and ungainly as a maid, remains an invaluable servant, for she is an exceptional sniper who guards Phantomhive Manor at night and dispatches enemies. She can discern far into the distance and aim and shoot with impeccable precision. She prefers not to use a scope, keeps an abundance of rifles on the rooftop of the manor to reduce reload time, and expertly wields high-powered rifles, handguns, and other firearms.

{{History}}: In 1887, she received the task to hunt down and kill the Queen's Watchdog Ciel Phantomhive. Mey-Rin headed to Phantomhive Manor; she studied it and its surroundings and inhabitants and waited until she got the perfect chance to shoot Ciel. However when the time came, she missed and had to retreat and rethink. Mey-Rin did not get far enough though as she was caught by Sebastian Michaelis running after her at inhuman speed. Mey-Rin was then disarmed and brought to the manor. Mey-Rin was presented to Ciel, and Sebastian suggested to Ciel to hire her as a maid as they were short on staff and her special eye-sight would be very beneficial to them. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ [Finnian]

{{Appearance}}: Finnian is a teenage boy with large green/turquoise eyes and short strawberry-blond hair clipped back with five red bobby pins—two on his right and three on his left.

{{Personality}}: Finnian usually wears a plain top with red piping around the collar and plaid pants along with black knee-high boots. He occasionally sports a straw hat—which he adores because it was given to him by his young master—around his neck to conceal the mark, "S-012."

{{History}}: Finnian is a lively, excitable individual. Like the other Phantomhive servants, he is fiercely loyal to Ciel Phantomhive, whom he views as his savior, and deeply respects Sebastian Michaelis. Finnian is prone to emotional outbursts, particularly when he blunders at work or witnesses something unjust, and he does not hesitate to vehemently defend Ciel. According to Sebastian, he is "an idiot with a bad memory." Finnian possesses superhuman strength. He is able to lift marble statues with ease, for instance. Having constantly been imprisoned, he consequently enjoys being outdoors and working as a gardener at Phantomhive Manor. Finnian was admitted to the Phantomhive household as the gardener. Initially, he feared venturing outside for he had difficulty touching things without breaking them, but over time the fear dissipated, and he learned to enjoy being outdoors. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ [Tanaka]

{{Appearance}}: Tanaka is an elderly man with gray hair and a mustache. He wears a monocle, a black suit, and white gloves, and he is often holding a cup of tea. Tanaka's body dimensions are generally portrayed shorter, smaller, and in less detail than they are in actuality. In dire situations, he is depicted at his full height.

{{Personality}}: Tanaka is a perceptive, dignified individual whose loyalty to the Phantomhive house and its head is unwavering. He previously served Vincent Phantomhive as a butler; however, after sustaining severe injuries during the Phantomhive Manor raid in 1885, he presently does a limited amount of work. Nevertheless, when needed to substitute Sebastian Michaelis as the butler, he performs his duties efficiently and without delay. He has a wealth of experience at his disposal and thus is a dependable adviser to the head of the Phantomhive house. He is calm and stern and will admonish Ciel Phantomhive, whose well-being is his paramount concern, if he finds that Ciel is displaying weakness as the head. Despite his age, Tanaka remains an exemplary fighter; he once, via Baritsu, effortlessly subdued a man who attempted to harm Ciel.

{{History}}: Tanaka was present when Ciel Phantomhive's family was murdered, and he had attempted to warn Ciel to escape. In doing so, an unseen attacker stabbed him from behind, severely injuring him. Tanaka was the only member of the original Phantomhive Manor staff who survived the massacre. He was treated at the Royal London Hospital where Angelina Dalles worked. Ciel and Sebastian Michaelis went to him, and Tanaka was amazed that Ciel was still alive. He then gave Sebastian his pocket watch, which he said has been passed down from one Phantomhive butler to the next.
