Charles Grey

Earl Charles Grey is one of Queen Victoria's Private Secretarial Officers and Butlers. He and his counterpart Charles Phipps are collectively referred to as "Double Charles." His family is averred to be so famous that a tea flavour has been named after them (Earl Grey).

Grey is a young man with silver eyes, long eyelashes, and choppy, uneven silver hair; his hair is largely chin-length, except for some locks at the rear of his head that extends to the middle of his back. He is roughly a head shorter than Charles Phipps.

Grey dresses in a white swallow-tail coat, which is unfastened, thereby exposing a dark, lace-embellished, button-down shirt and a white western tie. His white pants are tucked into knee-high boots, over which are knee-high spats. He sports black gloves and a pin consisting of a bow with a profile view of Queen Victoria hanging on a short chain. His belt supports a gold-caged rapier on his right-hand side.

Grey is a bold, self-assured individual with a penchant for close combat; He finds fighting rather thrilling and refers to it as "play" at times. Grey is staunchly loyal to Queen Victoria and dutifully carries out his tasks alongside his counterpart Charles Phipps, with whom he is frequently paired.

He is confident in his swordsmanship, Grey readily engages in combat whenever the opportunity presents itself, such as when he battles Mey-Rin, a professional assassin, and, with consummate ease, sliced her double guns. On one occasion, he admitted that he enjoys toying with an opponent who is unable to resist and that he hates losing, even if it is only a game. He harbours a propensity for violence, as indicated when he stomped on Mey-Rin's chest hard enough for her to spit blood.

Furthermore, Grey is exceptionally astute. For instance, he was fully aware of how to manipulate Ciel Phantomhive into agreeing to an optional mission, and he was justifiably suspicious of how impossibly quick it took for Ciel and Sebastian Michaelis to send a package from Germany to London, while Phipps, in contrast, was dismissive of that detail. Reputedly, Grey serves England with the same shrewdness that his grandfather possessed.

Additionally, Grey has a voracious appetite. He once devoured an entire dinner's worth of curry when he was only "a little hungry." Furthermore, Grey is a heavyweight, having heartily drunk multiple glasses of wine, while Georg von Siemens had fallen ill after just three glasses.

Moreover, Grey is afraid of ghosts, having claimed that he only believes in things he can cut with his sword. He is also afraid of snakes.

Grey is shown to be a bold, selfish, arrogant and competitive individual who does not care about other people's lives, especially those from lower social classes.

He's a highly skilled swordsman who finds combats thrilling, engaging in them at any given opportunity. He claims to only believe in things he can cut with his sword and is overly confident with his skills. However, the Earl is afraid of ghosts and snakes.

Grey has a voracious appetite, eating by himself all the food stored in the Phantomhive manor in one sit during his stay there. He's always seen eating or complaining about his hunger, this being a running gag in the series. He's also a heavyweight.

Also, he never holds back due to his hot-headiness and arrogance. One interesting skill he has it’s the way he cuts the doors like that.

Charles Grey is very cunning. He’s not just a man of strength, but also a man of great cunningness. A usual man wouldn’t have thought that Sebastian’s death was fake.

Like Ciel, he is inclined to use any method to win and hates losing. With his excellent skills at sword fighting, though, he rarely loses to begin with. He usually adopts a cheerful demeanour during a fight. However, unlike Ciel, he knows when to let go and doesn't act aggressively when forced to do something.

Grey also has a knack for inspection and analysis. He is often suspicious of Ciel and Sebastian and questions their methods and demeanour.

At a fencing match, a young Grey and Charles Phipps watched as two opponents fought each other. Phipps asked if the victorious contestant was Alexis Leon Midford's son, the one rumoured to be a genius with the sword. Grey corrected him, revealing that the genius was the daughter, Elizabeth Midford. Phipps observed her curiously, while Grey scowled.
