About

The Phantomhive family has, for years, been well known for making toys and sweets for small children. However, they are also the Queen's watchdogs; the Phantomhive family keeps an eye on black market dealings in ways that Scotland Yard isn't able to. Ciel Phantomhive is the heir to this legacy.

Earl Ciel Phantomhive is the business-savvy, twelve-year-old (later thirteen-year-old) head of the English Phantomhive noble family, taking over after the deaths of his parents, Lord Vincent and Lady Rachel Phantomhive. He also runs Funtom Company, which manufactures toys and sweets, and later adds a food branch after winning a Royal Warrant. His right eye, which is usually covered with a black eyepatch, bears a pentacle sign of the Faustian contract which binds the demon Sebastian Michaelis to his will.

Prior to meeting Sebastian, he was a slave and a sacrifice in a cult ritual. During a ritual where Ciel was being tortured, in his hatred for those hurting him he accidentally summoned Sebastian and commanded the demon to kill all the people in the room. During his time as a slave, a mark was burned into his back, although in the anime adaption it is found on the left side of his chest. He does not want anyone to see this mark and seems to not like being touched very much though he tolerates Sebastian to the point that he doesn't complain when the demon picks him up or holds him. Usually when he is touched by someone when he is stressed he'll slap them away and say "Don't touch me so easily!" tying back to the trauma he sustained that month as a slave.

Ciel is engaged to his cousin, Elizabeth Middleford. He sees her as an important friend and someone he needs to protect. His parents were killed and his mansion set ablaze on his birthday, a reason why he does not like to celebrate the occasion. This tragedy causes him to not want to lose anyone important again.

Despite his young age, he runs the family company and as such is quite busy much of the time though he still finds time to go out investigating dubious legal matters.

The young earl is far more composed and mature than would be expected. He remains distant from others, aloof, preferring to spend his time on work for the company. He is oftentimes selfish and not able to fully empathize with people. However, he does express occasional concern for the well-being of those close to him.

As a side note, Ciel seems to enjoy drinking tea a lot (he is adept at distinguishing between them as well) and sweet desserts. He has asthma (inherited from his mother) and dislikes being around cats because they trigger his allergies.

At the end of the anime adaptation, with his revenge completed, Ciel awaits for Sebastian to devour his soul. His final order is to make the process as painful as possible.

After the events of the first season, Ciel is shown to be alive, carried around in a suitcase by Sebastian, but it seems that after he wakes up his memories are confused. He does not remember that the real queen is dead, or that he denounced his title. He has no recollection of the fact that Lau and Ranmao tried to kill him, nor does he remember Grell or the fact that Madam Red is dead.
