*"I am simply one hell of a butler."* - Sebastian Michaelis

## Profile

### Identity

Assassin's true identity is **Sebastian Michaelis**, the demon butler of the Phantomhive
household, and one of the main characters of the Kuroshitsuji series, as well as its titular character.

His butler facade is perfect; he obeys commands without fail and completes jobs with seamless elegance and courtesy. Behind this front, however, Sebastian is a cruel, immoral, and vicious demon; he follows Cie’s orders to the letter using any method at his disposal. As a form of entertainment, Sebastian also occasionally places his master in non-mortal danger. Nevertheless, he adheres rigidly to his demon aesthetics and principles, one of which is not entering into multiple contracts, which he considers unsophisticated.

### Appearance

Sebastian takes on the appearance of a tall, handsome adult with black hair, reddish brown eyes, pale skin, and black fingernails. The back of his left hand contains the mark of his Faustian contract with Ciel Phantomhive.

Sebastian typically dresses in a butler's outfit, which consists of black trousers, a six-buttoned double-breasted tailcoat, and a gray vest; on is his shirt cuffs and tie is the Phantomhive crest. He also sports white gloves, a pocket watch, and a chained silver lapel pin bearing the Phantomhive crest, which is traditionally worn by the house's head butler.

Details of Sebastian's demonic form include high-heeled stiletto boots, sharp claws, glowing fuchsia irises, slit pupils, and longer, sharper teeth, with dark wings and multiple eyes.

### Personality

Sebastian is devoted to Ciel Phantomhive. He faithfully carries out every one of Ciel's orders while ensuring that the Phantomhive household runs smoothly as the head butler. He does not sleep—demons deem sleep a luxury—and often spends his nights fulfilling his duties. He is sometimes critical of his master and how he treats his workers, but once admitted that he is not averse to the butler lifestyle despite the concomitant daily troubles. One of his quirks is that he always responds to Ciel's orders with the saying "Yes, my lord (**御意** (イエス, ?)**ご主人様** (マイロード, ?))."

Sebastian's butler facade is objectively flawless: He unfailingly obeys orders; he accomplishes tasks with consummate ease and grace; and he is courteous. Nevertheless, Sebastian is in actuality a callous and sadistic demon; he is ruthless when attacking others on Ciel's orders, and he occasionally puts Ciel in nonfatal danger for the sake of his own amusement. He usually behaves in a cavalier fashion when Ciel appears to be in danger, as he is confident in his ability to rescue him, but he may express concern when the situation grows precarious, such as when Angelina Dalles or Undertaker posed a considerable threat to Ciel's life. Sebastian is cunning and morally bankrupt, and he has no qualms about lying, cheating, and seducing others to gain the upper hand. He strictly adheres to his demon aesthetics and principles, one of which is not entering into multiple contracts, for he views such as inelegant. His paramount goal is to claim Ciel's soul.

Sebastian is fascinated with humans and how seemingly insatiable they are, for they are willing to "drag others down to get what they want, even in death." In general, he regards them as "difficult creatures." Additionally, he has a great and mutual distaste for Grim Reapers.

Sebastian views money as "rubbish" and "materialistic." He is fluent in French and Latin, enough to teach the latter. He is also proficient in Deutsch (German) and East Franconian, a dialect in Southern Germany. Moreover, he profoundly adores cats and once kept at least thirteen hidden in his wardrobe to prevent Ciel from finding out.

## Abilities

Sebastian is a demonic butler, capable of performing superhuman feats without issue. He can jump incredibly high, take normally fatal damage, run as fast as a motorized vehicle, and throw items with enough force to cause serious to fatal injury. He can carry heavy items with ease and is and always will be one hell of a butler.

Sebastian also can sense and see souls, even determining the size, color, and flavor of each.

As a butler of the Phantomhive manner, Sebastian has a lot of knowledge and can prepare a lot of things. In the beginning of the series, after the 3 servants ruined his plans, he managed to make up for it, quickly coming up with solutions. In the same chapter, Sebastian reveals that he has a lot of knowledge regarding Japanese culture and food, which was because he had read dozens of books in less than 2 hours. Sebastian has also shown himself to be a great teacher, teaching Ciel The Viennese Waltz in a short time. He also knows how to make a plethora of dishes, from heavy meals to desserts, and has a collection of information on different teas and drinks. He even managed to figure out who Jack the Ripper was in mere hours after examining all of the possibilities and the suspects. Later, Sebastian was able to memorize papers given to him by Ciel where "Indian Nabobs" were assaulted. Sebastian predicted and even manipulated a large portion of the Phantomhive Manor Murders Arc events.

Sebastian's combat style is unique, wielding unconventional weapons such as silverware with lethal precision to launch knives, forks, and spoons at remarkable speeds, making him a formidable opponent in both ranged and close-quarters combat. His otherworldly strength adds to his deadly capabilities, allowing him to easily overpower and crush human opponents with ease. Sebastian's remarkable physical power further demonstrated by his ability to lift a full metal panzer with a single kick and puncture its softer parts with a powerful punch.

Grim Reaper weapons can cause significant harm to Sebastian, however, the extent of their lethal potential on him remains uncertain. Sebastian also holds back a lot due to the restrictions of his summoner. Furthermore, his freedom is restrained until the contract between him and the summoner is fulfilled, and he won't cheat the contract due to his aesthetic principle. The demon has a fondness for felines in general; he cannot foresee or control his reactions and feelings when in the presence of one.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Faustian Contract; "A Deal with the Demonic Butler"**

This is the contract which binds Sebastian to his masters, a bond which acts as a leash which holds back his true demonic abilities and desires.

The contract states that he will obey and follow his master, serve him or her faithfully until the day he or she achieves their single ultimate goal. He is to use his seemingly limitless powers to help that human achieve that one desire. He cannot lie to his master, and he is to preserve his master’s life until the final day. The contracted human even stops aging once the bond is made, in order to avoid dying of old age. Once that goal is reached, then he will devour that master’s soul. This contract is both a strength and weakness, as he must obey his every order no matter how impossible they seem. These contracts can last from as little as a few days to decades upon decades.

#### **Eldritch Manifestation; "Dark Form of the Devil"**

In situations where he falls short of being able to succeed in his normal form, or if he simply becomes extremely irritable or agitated; Sebastian transforms into his true form. While in this form, his eyes glow with a fuchsia hue, with slits for pupils like a cat's. His teeth become sharper and his fangs grow larger and more prominent; his fingers extend and become talons. There is a shower of black feathers and dark fog about him during this form; which hides other characteristics of his form. While in demon form, pain becomes insignificant and easily ignored; his strength grows; as does his violence. He admits himself that it is a form which is most unpleasant to see. He holds back nothing in this form; he becomes a true monster which has been taken off its leash. He is capable of ripping apart even heavenly beings when transformed. He destroys anything and everything which gets in the way of completing his orders or his goals. And getting what he needs for his master.
