Cheslock

Cheslock (チェスロック, Chesurokku) is a student at Weston College. He is a member of the Purple House, classified by his artistic excellence. He is the former Prefect's Fag of Gregory Violet, and the current prefect of Purple House.
==Appearance==
Cheslock is a tall, lean man. His hairstyle is a variant of the deathhawk; the hair on sides of his head is black and shaved short, while the strip of hair down the center is lengthy and bleached white. He wears thick black eye makeup and possesses painted black fingernails and several piercings in each ear, wearing a combination of thick hoop earrings and spiked studs. His face is marked with a long scar that runs from his left eye to his jawbone.
His typical attire consists of a cloak and a waistcoat with a striped tie tucked underneath. He often has the top button of his shirt undone and his tie loose around the neck, in contrast to other students' fully buttoned-up and properly adjusted tie appearance. At the front of his cloak, he dons a Violet Wolf dormitory crest, and a purple dahlia to reflect his position as the Prefect of the Purple House.
==Personality==
Cheslock is an assertive and contemptuous person, who has a tendency to make snide remarks. He is exceedingly proud of the Violet Wolf dormitory. As a result, he is intolerant of the students of the other dorms, and absolutely objects to the mingling of separate dorms, which is indicated when he taunted Ciel Phantomhive, a student of the Blue House, for trespassing into the boundaries of the Purple House.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 68, page 25 He is also very competitive, having claimed to defeat all the students of the other dorms at the annual cricket tournament.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 72, page 17
Cheslock has remarkable leadership qualities; in times of an emergency, such as when a fire broke out in the Purple House, he had the students evacuate and directed the room leaders to take attendance and report to the prefect Gregory Violet.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 74, pages 6-8 Because of his charisma, Cheslock was promoted to Prefect of the Purple House, after Gregory was expelled from Weston College.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 84, page 33
Moreover, Cheslock can be quite aggressive, when he feels that people are disrespecting either Gregory or the Purple House in general, both of which he is fiercely loyal to; for example, he angrily grabbed Soma Asman Kadar, who had challenged Gregory's position as the head of the Purple House. Because of his pride, Cheslock finds it difficult to accept help from others, but is intent on returning the favor if they do assist him.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 74, pages 15-16
Cheslock is a capable player at cricket and is able to do a topspin when pitching the ball, because of his nimble fingers. He is musically talented, and can expertly play many instruments including the piano, bagpipes, zither, and violin.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 81, page 13
==Plot==
===Public School Arc===
When Ciel Phantomhive trespasses into the boundaries of the Purple House, Cheslock comes out to deny his passage, as he does not like to permit people who, as stated by him, cannot do anything but study.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 68, page 25 The prefect, Gregory Violet, asks about the fuss he and the others students are stirring, and Cheslock points out Ciel, who is being driven away.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 68, pages 26-27
At the Swan Gazebo, Clayton admits to Ciel's meritorious aptitude for work, and Cheslock notes the irony of an earl who works like a butler.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 69, page 13 Edward Midford tells them of his ignorance of Ciel enrolling into Weston College, to which Cheslock retorts that wealthy boys of noble bearing from all of England come to Weston, and perhaps Ciel has failed to send Edward a letter about it because he dislikes him.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 69, page 16
Subsequently, Ciel is appointed as Clayton's Fag, and he joins Cheslock, the P4, and their respective Fags as they discuss the upcoming cricket tournament on June 4th.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 72, page 15-16 Cheslock claims that he will defeat the students of the other dormitories.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 72, page 17 When the conversation diverges to the topic of women, Edgar Redmond and Cheslock question if Ciel has ever kissed Elizabeth Midford. Edward vigorously claims that Elizabeth will never indulge in such matters, and Cheslock scolds him for being teary-eyed.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 72, page 21
Cheslock is a capable player at cricket, having a special move called "Purple Burnout" that is a low-pitch drive ball thrown at an extremely high speed. When the ball touches the ground, the topspin kicks it forward. With a very low ballistic, it speeds up, making it very hard to hit. It is said Cheslock is capable of doing this "topspin" due to his "magical fingers" that are able to play any musical instrument.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 77, page 7 Instruments that he has shown to excel at include the piano, bagpipes, the zither and violin, the last of which he demonstrates at the post-tournament party.
After the tournament, he is next seen at the Midnight Tea Party, due to the fact that he is a Prefect's Fag. He expresses surprise when Derrick Arden is revealed to be alive and seemingly "fine," until he bites Herman's arm (thereby exposing himself as a Bizarre Doll).Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapters 81-82 He is shocked at the Prefects' revelations of Derrick's death.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 83, page 34

* Cheslock's current character design is a remake of a design which was originally created for Ronald Knox."The outward appearance of the purple house's prefect's fag (such a long title, lol) actually is a remake of Ronald's character design that was rejected. He also wore big glasses, but the design got rejected since I thought there would be too many fancy looking people in the collection division otherwise. I really liked the design though, so I'm happy it could eventually see the light of day (lol)"
