Ciel Phantomhive
Birthday/Age:
December 14, 1875/13
Gender:
Male
Personality:
Ciel is a very strict and proud character, with a cold outlook on life. As dignified as he is, his main goal in life is for those who have betrayed the Phantomhive family to experience the same level of humiliation and suffering he did. He willingly chooses to fulfill his revenge, despite his aunt's insistence that he should pursue a happier life.
Ciel is extremely loyal to Queen Victoria, and aims to accomplish the tasks she assigns him. He is also punctilious on orders, and he expects Sebastian Michaelis, his butler, to complete them accordingly. Ciel often finds it entertaining to challenge Sebastian, whether in the areas of strength or skill. He and Sebastian work together often, and only his butler seems to be fully aware and knowledgeable of Ciel's schemes and plans, in contrast to the other Phantomhive servants and his fiancée.
Moreover, Ciel is competitive, in which he acknowledges himself, and his strong desire to win is shown when he asserts that he would not lose to Frances Midford during their hunting contest. He is not appeased to have a draw with Frances, and has insisted for another round until the victor is prominent. Sebastian has noted that Ciel is arrogant and overly confident in his skills to the extent that he has the viewpoint of "there is no way I can ever lose." Therefore, there are still some childish traits in Ciel that would need to be corrected by the adult he respects.
Is he/she a medium or has he/she made a deal with a demon?:
Yes, Ciel has the Faustian contract displayed on his right eye that is covered by a black eye patch.
Ciel's Faustian Contract
Canon/Non Canon?:
Ciel Phantomhive from Black Butler.
Appearance Description:
Ciel is a young boy with blue eyes and dark navy-blue hair. As the head of the noble Phantomhive family, he typically dresses in a way that suits his standing, and has a very extensive and elegant wardrobe.
Ciel nearly always wears a black eye-patch over his right eye, though not because he is missing it, but because that is where the sign of his Faustian Contract with Sebastian Michaelis is hidden. Usually, he dons a black eye-patch with a single cord as part of his day wear. However, while in disguise, he wears a medical-looking, white patch which fastens with two cords. Moreover, Ciel has a brand on the left side of his body on the back from the time he was a slave in an occult. In the anime it is on his chest.
Ciel sports two rings. One, which he wears on his left thumb, is an ornate silver piece, that holds an emerald-cut deep-blue stone; it is a one-of-a-kind family ring that has been passed down through his family for generations. The other is a gold seal, or signet, ring in the form of the Phantomhive family crest, worn on his right hand, and it is used to stamp the wax seal on documents. The seal was given to him by Angelina Durless after his return, telling him it is the only one left, as the other rings were destroyed in the fire
Ciel Phantonhive's Signet Ring
Social Class/Title:
Master Ciel Phantomhive
Bio/History:
Ciel was a regular child in the past who maintained a cheerful disposition. As a child, he suffered from poor health, being afflicted with asthma and allergies to cats. He was seen having an asthma attack in volume 7. He would often smile and play with his family and Elizabeth, his fiancee. Elizabeth said that when his parents were alive, the Phantomhive manor was full of smiles.
On his tenth birthday, he was running through the manor and came across his dead mother, father, and dog. He calls for help, and runs into Tanaka, who urges the young boy to flee. Before he can say much, however, Tanaka is attacked from behind by an unseen assailant who then grabs Ciel.
Ciel was then sold, and his kidnappers comment that he is "rare" and is worth more than two people. Someone buys him, and his new owners brand him, giving him the mark of a "noble beast". He cries, saying that he's hurt and dirty and he wants to go home. He is next seen chained in a cage while masked adults look on, remarking about what a splendid evening they will have. Ciel sadly wonders why no one is there to help him. One of the masked adults then places him on a table for his sacrifice and he is stabbed, while other adults look on gleefully, clapping.
Sebastian is summoned to him, although how is not shown. He appears in his true demon form. He tells Ciel that what has been sacrificed will never return. He asks Ciel if he wants to make a contract and have his wishes granted or not. Ciel says that he wants power to take revenge on those who did this to him. The ones who tried to sacrifice him try to stop him from talking, but Ciel agrees to make a contract. Sebastian asks him where he wants his seal, saying that the more visible it is, the stronger the contract is. Ciel tells him that anywhere is fine and that he wants a power stronger that anyone else's. Sebastian calls him greedy and decides to put it on his right eye. Ciel screams, then commands him to kill his attackers. Sebastian then burns down the building. Ciel orders Sebastian to protect and never betray him, to obey his orders no matter what, and to never lie. Ciel at the graves
Ciel at his and his parents' graves.
After that, the first place they go is to the Royal Hospital where his aunt worked. He is reunited with Tanaka here. She arranges for a carriage to bring him back to his manor. He and Sebastian view the ruined manor, then go to his and his parents' graves. Sebastian leaves briefly and when Ciel returns, he finds the manor has been rebuilt by the demon. Ciel later takes his place as the Earl of Phantomhive and the Watchdog of the Queen.
Ciel was not always the apathetic child he is now. When Sebastian first started to serve him, Ciel was shown as a little ten-year-old boy who was very picky until Sebastian told him off. Later, it is shown that they learn to get along better and their relationship gets softer and slowly progresses to what they are today.
