Undertaker, also known as 136649, Silver Fox and The Headmaster, is a character from the Black Butler series.
== Charactah Account ==
Undertaker is the funeral director in London who has acted as an informant to the Phantomhive family for many years.
Known only by his profession, Undertaker is a mysterious man whose scarred face is rarely fully visible beneath his long hair and crooked top hat. He tends to punctuate his words with sweeping gestures and creepy giggles, and he spends a considerable deal of time inside of coffins. He takes joy in frightening others, as he intentionally acts disconcertingly to provoke a reaction. Undertaker frequently refers to the deceased as his "guests," and it is his hobby to remove organs from his "guests" for research.
Undertaker has great and significant connections with the underworld societies because murder victims from the underworld are often delivered to his place of business. Thus, he has voluminous knowledge in these macabre cases that allows him to be an informant. However, he does not exchange his services for "the Queen's money," as he dislikes Queen Victoria. Instead, he expects those that want information from him to amuse him in some way.

== Trivia ==
* According to the official Kuroshitsuji character popularity poll, Undertaker is the third most popular character in the series, with 1284 votes. He is ranked among the "Devil Six", a group of the highest ranking characters of the manga.
* In battles, Undertaker would wield sotoba, which are inscribed strips of wood found at tombs in Japanese cemeteries.
** Undertaker was first seen with sotoba in the extras of Volume 2, four years before he was depicted with them in the manga.
** Undertake was also depicted with sotoba on the cover of the 4th DVD of season 1 of the anime.
* During the Luxury Liner Arc, Undertaker was dressed as Charlie Chaplin. Ironically, Charlie Chaplin was born on 16 April 1889, the day before the Campania set sail, 17 April 1889.
* Although he is an undertaker, he does not dress like one; undertakers wore no special clothing, just regular everyday clothes. Instead, Undertaker is dressed like a funeral mute, a professional mourner who would stand outside the house or church to keep vigil with a "sad, pathetic face," and lead the funeral procession. This is acknowledged in supplementary material.
* To make his illustrations for the Yume 100 collaboration more accurate, Yana Toboso gave the game's character designer a "guide" to let him know where all of Undertaker's scars are. This was important because the game's artwork exposed certain bodyparts—particularly his legs—that were neither shown in the manga nor in the anime yet.
* Undertaker's design was based on the design of the protagonist of a pirate manga Toboso planned before she started working on Black Butler.
