About

Personality

Sebastian Michaelis is a demon bound by a Faustian contract to serve Ciel Phantomhive as his butler. Tall and handsome with black hair, red-brown eyes, and pale skin, he dresses impeccably in a traditional butler’s outfit and bears the contract mark on his left hand. Though his manners are flawless, Sebastian is a ruthless, cunning demon who obeys Ciel’s commands without question. He never sleeps, viewing rest as unnecessary for a demon, and often works through the night to keep the Phantomhive household running perfectly. He frequently replies to orders with “Yes, my lord.” Sebastian’s true nature is callous and sadistic. While he protects Ciel, he sometimes endangers him for amusement. He is capable of lying, cheating, and manipulating others to gain advantage. He tends to play with woman's emotions and desires for his amusement and then leaving. His primary goal is to one day claim Ciel’s soul. He is fascinated by humans and considers them complex and "difficult." He dislikes Grim Reapers and regards money as insignificant. Sebastian is fluent in several languages and secretly adores cats. Originally summoned by Ciel during a ritual, he formed the contract and chose the role of butler to serve until Ciel’s revenge is complete. He rebuilt Phantomhive Manor and helped Ciel learn to act as an earl while disciplining his master’s spoiled tendencies. **Circus Arc** Ciel reveals the information he was able to gather about the circus and asks Sebastian to investigate further. Before they can proceed, Ciel suffers an asthma attack and collapses, forcing Sebastian to act swiftly. While first-string members of the circus realize Ciel and Sebastian had been snooping in their tents, Joker leaves to consult “Father.” Sebastian seizes the opportunity to exploit Beast’s distress, coaxing her to reveal Father’s name. The next morning, Sebastian and Ciel return to the Phantomhive townhouse. Agni convinces Sebastian that a butler’s duty includes looking after his master’s health, which delays Ciel’s confrontation with Baron Kelvin until nighttime. At the manor, Ciel and Sebastian are met by Joker and Baron Kelvin, who have prepared dinner and an impromptu circus act using kidnapped children. After two children are killed during the act, Ciel commands Sebastian to stop it. Ciel then shoots Baron Kelvin upon recalling his own trauma at a recreated sacrificial site. When Joker attempts to intervene, Sebastian severs his left hand to protect Ciel. The Doctor reveals he has been using kidnapped children to create prosthetic limbs for the circus cast. Overcome with memories and trauma, Ciel orders Sebastian to kill everyone and burn the place down. Sebastian hesitates but obeys, setting the building ablaze and carrying Ciel to safety, where they encounter Doll. Implicitly, Sebastian kills Doll afterward. Ciel and Sebastian then visit the ruins of the Renbourn Workhouse, where they realize the circus troupe had fought to defend a place that no longer exists. Darkly, Ciel reflects on human cruelty, which Sebastian finds fascinating. Back at the manor, Elizabeth demands new clothes and a boat ride, prompting Sebastian to coordinate with tailor Nina Hopkins, despite several chaotic interruptions during fittings. Later, Charles Grey and Charles Phipps arrive, leading to a confrontation where Grey attacks Baldroy and Mey-Rin. Sebastian intervenes just in time. The Queen instructs Ciel to host a banquet, which he reluctantly agrees to. During the event, a commotion arises involving the drunk Georg von Siemens harassing Irene Diaz. Sebastian skillfully diffuses the situation, while Ciel communicates discreetly in French, catching Arthur Conan Doyle’s attention. A shocking sequence follows where Sebastian is seemingly found dead alongside other victims, including Georg and Patrick. Suspicion and investigation reveal that Sebastian had been alive the whole time, posing as Jeremy Rathbone. He explains to Arthur that Charles Grey was the true murderer, and reveals his non-human form to stimulate the author’s imagination. Sebastian then resolves the mystery of Patrick’s murder by uncovering Snake as the perpetrator. Snake is subsequently recruited as a new servant. The arc concludes with Sebastian formally resuming his duties for Ciel and Elizabeth, with his lapel pin returned and assurances given to Elizabeth that he never lies. **Luxury Liner Arc** Sebastian introduces Snake as the Phantomhive manor’s new footman. Baldroy doubts the choice, calling Snake a “shady character,” but Sebastian emphasizes that it is Ciel’s decision. Soon after, Lau arrives and discusses unusual activities at Karnstein Hospital, implying illegal human experiments. Ciel instructs Sebastian to investigate, leading to the discovery of the Aurora Society—a secret group conducting unethical medical experiments. The next meeting is scheduled aboard the luxury liner Campania, coinciding with an invitation from Elizabeth. Aboard the ship, Ciel, Sebastian, and Snake navigate the Aurora Society’s strange social protocols, including secret greetings and birdlike poses. Rian Stoker demonstrates the “revival” of a corpse, which attacks the spectators. Sebastian and a young Grim Reaper, Ronald Knox, engage with the moving corpse, highlighting the supernatural and dangerous nature of the experiments. Ciel, Elizabeth, and Snake become trapped among the Bizarre Dolls—soulless animated corpses created by Undertaker to collect souls for completion. Sebastian dispatches countless Bizarre Dolls, often in gruesome fashion, while ensuring Ciel’s safety. Elizabeth showcases her unexpected combat skills, forcing Sebastian to step in to manage both the fight and the chaos. Sebastian confronts Undertaker and is severely injured, yet he continues to protect Ciel. As the ship begins sinking, Sebastian ensures Ciel is safe by throwing him into the ocean with a life ring and subsequently rescuing him. He eradicates the attacking Bizarre Dolls, though weakened from prior blows. After returning to the manor, the story shifts to a lighter moment: Elizabeth organizes an Easter Egg Hunt. Partnered with Ciel, Sebastian ensures Ciel wins the prize, displaying his usual combination of skill, loyalty, and subtle playfulness. **Public School Arc – Beginning** Queen Victoria informs Ciel that students at Weston College have been refusing to return home, including her cousin Derrick Arden, and requests he investigate. Ciel decides to infiltrate the school himself, instructing Sebastian to find his own way in. Ciel secures enrollment by removing a student from the roster, creating an open spot. On his first day, dorm mates attempt to haze him by tossing him on a sheet, but Sebastian, disguised as dorm supervisor Michaelis, intervenes. Later, Sebastian confirms that Derrick has been transferred to Purple House. Ciel tasks Sebastian with cleaning the dining hall while he investigates the dormitory. Despite being officially the dorm supervisor, Sebastian must reluctantly take on most of the work, highlighting the irony of the situation.he is the dorm supervisor of blue dorm which is also the dorm ciel attends
