Ciel Phantomhive

Appearance

Ciel looks identical to his twin brother, Sirius Phantomhive: He is a short, slight teenage boy with grey-tinged, blue-black hair and rich peacock-blue eyes. However, unlike Sirius, he does not bear a Faustian contract seal on his right eye, and his bangs curl to the left rather than the right. As an aristocrat, he typically dresses in stylish, sumptuous clothes.

Personality

Ciel is a self-assured, well-spoken, and astute individual who remains unruffled even in the face of severe accusations. He is exceptionally skilled at persuading others to do his bidding and turning the tide to gain an advantage. As a child, "Ciel" was cheerful and exuberant. He played regularly with Elizabeth Midford, and he did not balk at engaging with others at social events. A caring brother, he would keep Ciel company whenever the latter fell ill, bring him warm milk in the middle of the night, and secretly give him cough drops. Moreover, he was considerably attached to Ciel: He expressed his dismay at the prospect of being separated from Ciel in the future, and once bluntly told his father that he had no need for "fake brothers." As a Bizarre Doll, "Ciel" retains his confidence, social grace, and shrewdness. He has artfully and ruthlessly maneuvered his way into reclaiming the Earl of Phantomhive title, as well as engineered situations where he would emerge victorious. Moreover, he now exhibits malevolence toward Ciel and his allies, and intends to defeat them with Undertaker's assistance.

Backstory

Ciel Phantomhive was born to Vincent and Rachel Phantomhive on December 14, 1875, a few minutes before his younger twin brother, Astro. Ciel was content being his father's successor until Vincent took his sons to the nearby town for a lesson, and Astro entrusted Ciel that he would like to move out of the manor and open a toy shop in London in the future. Not wanting to part with Astro, Ciel told his parents that he did not want to become Earl anymore and wished to run a toy store with his brother instead. After a conversation with Rachel and Vincent, Ciel reluctantly accepted that he did not have any other choice but to become the Earl of Phantomhive. Years later, on his and his brother's tenth birthday, Ciel was woken up by Astro and given one of the two rabbit fèves from their advent calendar. They wished each other a happy birthday before they got dressed and went downstairs to marvel at the decorated dining room and the presents under the tree. The twins were then congratulated by their parents and given the day off from their studies. Happily, Ciel and Astro walked around the manor until they arrived at the kitchen. There, Tanaka and the cooks shooed them away as they were not allowed to see their birthday cake until the party started. Tanaka told the twins to go to their room and that he would come to get them ready for the party at six o'clock. Ciel and Astro went to spent the time waiting by playing games in their room and fell asleep after a while. When they woke up, it was already six o'clock, but Tanaka still had not arrived. They continued to wait, and when there was still no sign of Tanaka 45 minutes later, the twins became anxious, and Ciel decided to go and find out what was wrong. He refused his brother's wish to accompany him and told him to stay in their room before he left. Ciel wandered around Phantomhive Manor in search for answers. Eventually, he discovered his parents' corpses and retrieved the blue Phantomhive ring from his father's finger. At some point during the attack on the manor, something terrible happened to Ciel. Alongside Astro, he was later kidnapped by human traffickers and tagged. The twins were put in the same cage, and Ciel apologized to Astro for being pathetic and "a failure of an older brother" as he had not been strong and powerful enough to protect him. In their misery, the brothers began to cry and embraced each other. At night, Ciel woke up his brother to show him the blue Phantomhive ring and tell him that it would help them return home. Then, Ciel swallowed the ring to ensure that it would not be taken away from them. The next day, the twins were brought by a man and taken to his mansion. There they were washed, dressed, and given food. While Sirius believed that they had been saved by a "nice man," Ciel remained suspicious. Later on that day, the twins were dressed for a "party." The man took them to a cathedral where a cult consisting of people wearing masks in the shape of moths had gathered. Astro asked the man, who had brought them there, where they were, but he only replied that they did not have to be afraid before announcing to the crowd that the twins would be their next sacrificial lambs and that they had to defile their pure and innocent souls in order to "prepare" them for the ritual. Ciel and Astro were then violated by the cultists. Afterwards on the day before Christmas, Ciel and Astro were branded with the "mark of the beast." In the following month, the twins were continuously violated, interjected with an unknown substance, force-fed, and abused in various different ways. However, as they were together, they did not completely lose hope; and Ciel declared that he would always protect Astro. At the end of this month, Ciel was used as a sacrifice in a ritual to summon a demon while Sirius had to watch, helplessly. In the process of the sacrifice, Ciel was stabbed in the chest and died. The ritual was successful. However, the summoned demon unexpectedly chose to form a contract with Astro instead of with any of the cultists. Upon Astro's request, the demon killed the cultists and recovered the blue Phantomhive ring from Ciel's body before they left and set the cathedral on fire. Shortly after Astro and the demon left, Undertaker saved Ciel's corpse from the burning cathedral and turned him into a Bizarre Doll. Over the next three years, Undertaker kept Ciel "alive" and even matched his growth to his brother's.

About Other Bizarre Dolls

Bizarre Dolls a carnivorous being who preys after the souls of humans. It is an erroneous experiment of the Aurora Society's medicine, and is meant to be resuscitated back to life instead of becoming a soulless, moving corpse. (Making Ciel Phantomhive different from them, because he acts more humanoid and alive.)

Memory One: Blue Cult Arc

While "Ciel" is sleeping, Undertaker makes him swallow a mysterious liquid. "Ciel" wakes up half-asleep and asks him if it is morning. Undertaker covers his eyes with his hand, and tells him to sleep a little longer because it is too early for him to wake up. On November 15, 1889, "Ciel" arrives at Phantomhive Manor, where he is greeted by the servants there. Shortly afterward, Astro Phantomhive and Sebastian Michaelis also enter the manor. "Ciel" hears them and descends the stairs, to their collective shock. He scolds a dismayed Ciel for getting drenched and assures him that he will never leave his side again and that he has come home. When Finnian states that it is impossible for there to be two Ciels, "Ciel" asserts that he is real. Finnian adds that he knew something was wrong when "Ciel" came home and calls him an impostor. Amused, "Ciel" declares that the true head of the Phantomhive house, Ciel Phantomhive, is actually him.

Memory Two: Blue Memory Arc

While "Ciel" is sleeping, Undertaker makes him swallow a mysterious liquid. "Ciel" wakes up half-asleep and asks him if it is morning. Undertaker covers his eyes with his hand, and tells him to sleep a little longer because it is too early for him to wake up. On November 15, 1889, "Ciel" arrives at Phantomhive Manor, where he is greeted by the servants there. Shortly afterward, Astro Phantomhive and Sebastian Michaelis also enter the manor. "Ciel" hears them and descends the stairs, to their collective shock. He scolds a dismayed Ciel for getting drenched and assures him that he will never leave his side again and that he has come home. When Finnian states that it is impossible for there to be two Ciels, "Ciel" asserts that he is real. Finnian adds that he knew something was wrong when "Ciel" came home and calls him an impostor. Amused, "Ciel" declares that the true head of the Phantomhive house, Ciel Phantomhive, is actually him. Memory Two: Blue Memory Arc "Ciel" muses that this is the first time he has actually met Sebastian. He promptly asks him how dare he "do that" to him on "that day." Sebastian affirms "Ciel"'s statement that he is "Earl Ciel Phantomhive," to the servants' disbelief. At that moment, Tanaka arrives at the staircase and addresses "Ciel", stating that he was not in his room when he brought his tea. He reveals that he knew all along that there were two Ciels; twins in fact, to the bewildered servants. An amused "Ciel" chides Astro for confusing the servants by impersonating him. He adds that Tanaka told him that he used losing everything in the fire as an opportunity to hide the fact that he was a twin and calls Astro a naughty boy for doing so. Astro is hesitant when "Ciel," asks him why he made such an outrageous lie and states that he will not be angry with him. Astro, then, mutters that he is "the spare" to "Ciel Phantomhive," heir to the Earl of Phantomhive. Seeing Astro's shocked face, "Ciel" laughs and promises not to scold him for his lies—he even says that he would punish everyone who would call him a liar. Astro and Sebastian are still baffled about "Ciel"'s appearance as, to their knowledge, "Ciel" indeed died nearly four years ago. Then, Undertaker arrives and reveals that he rescued "Ciel"'s body from the fire that night because he would not be able to restore him if he were burnt to ashes. When Sebastian questions his motives, Undertaker admits that he cannot bear to lose another Phantomhive. Undertaker explains that "Ciel" is a "perfected" Bizarre Doll, and "Ciel" tells Astro that, with Undertaker's help, he was able to watch him from afar while he executed his Watchdog duties. Then, Grell Sutcliff and Othello burst into the manor with the intention of punishing Undertaker. However, it never comes to a fight as Scotland Yard, together with Alexis and Edward Midford, storms the manor as they have an anonymous tip that Blavat Sky was in the mansion. Fred Abberline demands to speak to the Earl and is shocked to see two Ciels. "Ciel" tells Edward and Alexis that he's the real Ciel and that his twin stole his identity. At first, they are in disbelief, but then, Elizabeth appears and confirms his words, calling Astro a liar. "Ciel" is about to explain everything to Edward and Alexis, who are very confused about the situation, when a Scotland Yard officer runs into the entrance hall with a blood vial from the Sphere Music Hall. The officer is followed by some of his colleagues who have detained Blavat Sky who pretends in front of everyone that Astro is Lord Sirius, the Blue Star, and the true mastermind behind the Sphere Music Hall. "Ciel", then, triumphantly watches his twin brother being arrested by Fred Abberline. After everyone is gone, "Ciel" sits in the study and looks out of the window when Tanaka arrives with his tea and Undertaker asks him if it was wise to let Baldroy, Mey-Rin, Finnian, and Snake go. "Ciel" entrusts Undertaker that he and Astro never had a proper fight growing up and that he was now looking forward to having a real sibling rivalry with him. He then questions Tanaka whether he really does not want to leave too and is amused when Tanaka tells him that he will definitely stay. Later that night, "Ciel" looks at the moon and reaches for it when his body collapses. However, he is caught by Undertaker before he can hit the ground. "Ciel" says that he wants to go after his brother, only to be held back by his failing body, and wonders if this is how Astro felt when they were children and he was housebound. Undertaker disagrees as "Ciel" appears to be happy right now.

Memory three: Blue Revenge Arc

Sometime afterward, "Ciel" explains to Alexis and Francis that he and his brother were kidnapped on their tenth birthday by a cult and that he was used as a sacrifice in a ritual from which he suffered near-fatal wounds. Thankfully, Undertaker saved and treated him. However, due to the severity of his wounds, his healing process was long and he was unable to return right away. Alexis assures "Ciel" that they believe him, and Francis asks him whether he knows why his twin impersonated him for all these years, but "Ciel" can only tell her that he must have surely had his reasons and that he did not mean to hurt anyone. Then, "Ciel" declares that he will commence his rightful duties as the Earl of Phantomhive. After Francis and Alexis left, Tanaka gave "Ciel" all the documents he had to read over and he spent the next hours attempting to become familiar with them and planning the reorganisation of his household before he was called downstairs to inspect the new Funtom Corporation products. "Ciel" marvelled over the fact that his brother had managed to fulfill his childhood dream despite everything and then instructed Tanaka to get rid of all the samples. Sometime later, "Ciel" is in the midst of getting his blood replenished while Undertaker idles nearby. Polaris enters and informs them that the blood factory in the north at Heathfield Manor has been dismantled and that Chris Heathfield has been taken into custody. "Ciel" is gleeful that his little brother has won the first round of their "first serious fight." Polaris throws a fit over their foiled operation, as he is worried that they will run out of radiance for "Ciel", whom he refers to as Lord Sirius. "Ciel" tells Polaris that the title "Lord Sirius" belongs to his little brother now, and the latter apologizes. "Ciel" then notes that the shivering Polaris is pale and that, while it is easy to collect fresh blood for him, he cannot function for too long without it. After "Ciel" dismisses him for the day, Polaris, while weeping, confesses that he is terrified of losing his master again, for he is "a butler, even in death."
