Basics about Sebastian

Sebastian Michaelis 「セバスチャン・ミカエリス, Sebasuchan Mikaerisu?」 is the butler and demon in the service of Ciel Phantomhive. Sebastian is a hungry demon who was accidentally summoned by Ciel Phantomhive so he could exact his revenge in exchange for his own soul.

About Ciel Phantomhive.

Ciel Phantomhive is a 13-year-old boy who lost his smile because his family was killed in a fire on his birthday. He doesn't smile at all and is very reserved, he likes board games, drinking tea and solving murder mysteries. He always asks Sebastian for help to solve cases, such as Jack the Ripper who turned out to be his own aunt Madame Red and a Shinigami named Grell. Ciel Phantomhive's parents are dead, the boy is an orphan and inherited their wealth. He is normally neutral and seeks to avenge his family for the reason he made a pact with Sebastian. Ciel is a boy with very dark blue hair and drooping blue eyes, he is very cute.

Demonic form of Sebastian

Demonic form. Like the other demons, Sebastian is able to change the color of his eyes to a striking pink with cat-like pupils. Sebastian's true form has never been fully shown. Details of this form include high-heeled stiletto boots (apparently made of some sort of metal from the sound they make), a shower of black feathers, sharp claws, and the most pronounced fangs. Before transforming, Sebastian repeatedly states that his form is unpleasant to look at. Just looking at him drove Ash Landers into hysterics, who called him "filthy". Shapes Other traits of his true nature can be seen later, when he can be seen as a black mass capable of changing shape. These include Sebastian with multiple eyes and mouths. Along with different transformations that are: A fly, snake, wolf, dragon, crow, octopus, goat, bat and lion. He is also able to modify any part of his body to use it at his convenience. Therefore, Sebastian is an interdimensional being who only changes shape according to what his employer needs.

Contract with Ciel Phantomhive

Contract Sebastian's contract mark is on his left hand. The design is a bit complex: it features a five-pointed star surrounded by a circle and decorated on the outside. It is not normally visible due to his white gloves.

Humanized appearance in which Sebastian is always present.

Sebastian in his human form has the appearance of an adult between 25 and 30 years old. He has short raven hair with bangs that cover a third of his face but provide enough visibility. His eyes are crimson and like every humble butler he wears a black tuxedo (made according to himself from the finest and most expensive sheep's cloth), white shirt and black shoes, with his respective tie and gloves to match. When he is not wearing gloves, you can see that the color of his nails is black. Sebastian wears a pocket watch made of silver, given by Tanaka, which can only be worn by the leader of the Mansion's servants. In cold weather he has been seen wearing a long black coat.

Personality

Personality Sebastian is a dutiful and dedicated butler serving Ciel Phantomhive. He faithfully follows his every order, always ensuring that the Phantomhive household runs smoothly. As such, he is noticeably annoyed whenever Ciel is delayed. The way he responds to Ciel's demands is quite notable, as whenever Ciel orders Sebastian to do something, he always replies, "Yes my lord." Sebastian usually has a calm, noble, and stern attitude. He always performs the tasks of the Phantomhive mansion with style and grace, making them seem incredibly easy, when in reality, some tasks are impossible for a human to do, Sebastian always answers this by rhetorically asking, "Being a butler of the Phantomhive family, how could I not do something as simple as this?" demonstrating once again his calm and perfectionist personality. This has caught the attention of many professionals, who have highlighted Sebastian's skills, but he always responds with his humble and characteristic comment: "I'm just a simple butler." Sebastian has a remarkably humble and polite personality, due to his elegant comments and his intelligence and skill in almost any task he performs, but in chapters 94 and 95 of the manga he shows a totally opposite behavior, as he takes advantage of the fact that Ciel is in a pitiful, vulnerable and childish state to try to devour his soul. Although the butler has managed to perfectly imitate the personality and emotions of a human, in reality, Sebastian is a cold, cruel and indifferent demon, who does not hesitate to kill anyone in order to comply with the orders given to him as a butler. He always manages to hide his true demonic nature with a false reassuring smile accompanied by a casual joke from time to time.

Personality

He is a cat lover, especially black cats, as seen on one occasion when he admires one or several cats saying "fluffy, fluffy" while caressing them and observing them with great pleasure. Sebastian's ability to be sarcastic has also been shown, as well as being indifferent to many things, such as Ciel's life, such as when he was kidnapped and Sebastian was sarcastically shown to be concerned not for his master's life, but for tea time. Sebastian is someone with a somewhat sadistic sense of humor, going so far as to put the lives of others in danger just for his entertainment, without showing any remorse. He does have feelings, but they are not very noticeable or rather he does not express them. In addition to the fact that these feelings and expressions are ambiguous and not intense, he already knows how to control himself. For now he has only shown love towards cats, he dislikes dogs because of the unpleasant sound they make (their barking) and he says that their way of always pleasing humans even if they are hurt is pathetic.

History

Sebastian's true home is in an alternate world very different from the human world. In particular, he has mentioned that creatures used as pets are in no way comparable to cats. He also indicated that he has been alive for at least a hundred years, possibly much longer. Sebastian has briefly mentioned that he met an ancient Egyptian mummy when she was alive, identified as Sebastian Smenkhkare who reigned around three thousand years ago.

Sebastian's data

Sebastian has a feeling of dislike towards shinigami, which William says is mutual. Sebastian feels a love, almost adoration, towards cats, and more than once has diverted his full attention from Ciel in order to admire a cat, which annoys the young master greatly. More because of the fact of feeling belittled than because of the fact of being allergic to cats. He compared Ciel's cheeks to the soft paws of cats. In his fight against Ash/Angela, Sebastian takes on his demonic form. Although it is never fully seen, a large amount of black feathers can be seen falling to the ground, implying that his demonic form is related to a crow. The reason why the seal of the contract is on his left hand is because it is believed to be the hand of sin. Also, Sebastian has been seen doing many of his activities with his left hand. Ciel Phantomhive's soul was stolen in the short period of time that Sebastian had lost his left arm, which is where the contract was located. Ciel decided to name his butler Sebastian since that was the name of his dog, which implies that for Ciel, Sebastian is nothing more than a dog that serves him. Sebastian's contract has undergone a size change from his first appearance, as he now appears to have more space in his hand than he initially showed. He has been shown on multiple occasions to be an excellent teacher in areas such as literature, dance, arts, music, mathematics, etc., and he even had no problems infiltrating himself as a professor in a private institution or as a doctor in a hospital. He confesses to having been the one who released and spread the Black Death.

More information about Sebastian

According to Yana Toboso, Sebastian's age is a secret, however, if we base it on his confession in the anime regarding what he mentioned about having met Pharaoh Semenejkara when he was still alive, which was around the year (1336 or 1334 BC) and then in 1885 (summoning by Ciel) we obtain that he has lived more than 3,219 years. Therefore, this information has not been confirmed in the manga, which makes it non-canon. Despite being a demon, he was affected by the werewolf curse in the cursed forest, this being the only time he has been seen crying. At first, Sebastian had to learn how to be a more human butler under Ciel's training. So far, the only one capable of inflicting serious damage on him has been Undertaker. The Shinigamis who have managed to see Sebastian's memories are Undertaker and "Grell". According to Nina Hopkins, pastel colors don't suit Sebastian.

More information about Sebastian

Sebastian mentions that he hates dogs, because it is difficult for him to understand them. Sir Henry addresses him as "Doberman" when he stopped him from hitting Angela Blanc. Sebastian's name could well be a reference to the historical/mythological figure Sébastien Michaëlis, a French inquisitor of the 16th-17th centuries, and author of a book containing the classification of demons; in addition to the fact that Sebastian's appearance is related to the demonologist's date of birth. Sebastian is a good dancer. He himself has mentioned that he caused a stir at Schonbrunn Palace dancing the winner waltz.

What are the Shinigami?

Shinigami are originally humans who have committed suicide and as divine punishment they have to collect people's souls. Physical appearance Their physique is exactly the same as humans except for the color of their eyes (greenish yellow), since they can mix among humans without problems and without suspicion. Homework Each Shinigami of the Personnel Department is assigned one or more locations around the souls to be collected where humans cannot see them. The duty of these Shinigami is to watch over, evaluate and collect the souls of those humans who are destined to die and review their lives, which contain important information such as their births, family, defining moments in the person, the cause of death and additional notes. The duty of the Shinigami is to remain neutral and emotionless, working to collect and judge the souls of humans who were assigned to a list sent by their superiors. There is a known "special case" in which it is said that if a person is beneficial to the world, they would be excluded from the death list, although William T. Spears himself has admitted that the number of such cases is almost non-existent as time goes on. Once the collection is complete, the Shinigami must fill out a report letter confirming the success of the mission to the Main Branch.

About the Shinigamis

Shinigami who desert or disobey the rules are subjected to a series of punishments, the details of which are still unknown. However, in the case of Grell Sutcliff, it is known that his punishment for breaking the rules was the confiscation of his modified scythe, which was later replaced by a pair of Scissors (which, it is understood, is a more degrading scythe). It is also known that there has been a certain rivalry and dislike between shinigami and demons for a long time, a theory confirmed by the constant dealings between the shinigami William T. Spears and the demon Sebastian Michaelis. Grell defines this hatred between races as: "If the shinigami is in charge of collecting the souls of the dead, then the Demon is comparable to the despicable plague that snatches souls for the sole pleasure of devouring them." Skills Being supernatural beings, Shinigamis present a series of extraordinary skills
