List of Black Butler characters

The manga and anime series Black Butler features an extensive cast of characters created by Yana Toboso.

The series takes place in England during the reign of Queen Victoria. It follows Sebastian Michaelis, a demonic butler obliged to serve twelve-year-old (later thirteen-year-old) Earl Ciel Phantomhive due to a contract he made with Ciel. In exchange for binding Sebastian to his will, Ciel offers his soul to him. The series' storyline follows Ciel and Sebastian solving the problems plaguing England while waiting for the day Ciel gets his wish: To exact his revenge upon the people that humiliated and tortured him and make them suffer the same pain.

Sebastian Michaelis (セバスチャン・ミカエリス, Sebasuchan Mikaerisu^?), the title character, is the demon butler of the Phantomhive household and acts as Ciel's bodyguard. Being a butler is a job he is completely devoted to, following Ciel's orders with great loyalty and swiftness. He enjoys challenging Ciel and doesn't seem to be truly concerned about his well-being at times, insulting and irritating him to see his reaction. However, there are times that he displays concern about Ciel's life, such as when he was worried when Ciel had an asthma attack, and again later on when he had a panic attack. Sebastian has a fondness for felines in general, stating he cannot foresee or control his own reactions and feelings when in presence of one. As a demon, he has also shown to be extremely ruthless, sadistic, and manipulative to his opponents and is intrigued with humans' behaviors and attitudes, as he finds them interesting because of their insatiable greed.

He is highly skilled at practically everything and handles every task, no matter how impossible it is, as well as any problem that arises from the errors of the other staff, with ease. Due to the fact he is a demon who is bound by a Faustian contract, he must abide by Ciel's will and his contract mark is located on his left hand, allowing Sebastian to find Ciel wherever he is whenever Ciel's contract mark is exposed. In return, Ciel is able to summon and give orders to Sebastian.
