Ciel Phantomhive
Earl Ciel Phantomhive (シエル ファントムハイヴ, Shieru Fantomuhaivu) is the head of the Phantomhive noble family and the owner of the Funtom Company. Notoriously known as the Queen's Watchdog, he is the son of Vincent andRachel Phantomhive. Ciel is the main protagonist of theKuroshitsuji series.
Ciel is a very strict and proud character, with a general cold outlook on life. As proud as he is, his main goal in life is for those who have betrayed the Phantomhive family to experience the same level of humiliation and suffering he did.[8] He willingly chooses to fulfill his revenge, despite hisaunt's insistence that he should pursue a happier life.[9]
Ciel is extremely loyal to Queen Victoria, and aims to accomplish his given tasks. He is also punctilious on orders, and he expects Sebastian Michaelis, his butler, to complete them accordingly. Ciel often finds it entertaining to challenge Sebastian, whether in the areas of strength or skill.[10]Nonetheless, he and Sebastian work together often, and only his butler seems to be aware and knowledgeable of Ciel's schemes and plans, in contrast to the other Phantomhive servants.
Ciel is competitive, in which he acknowledges it himself, and his strong desire to win is shown when he asserts that he would not lose to Frances Midford during their hunting contest. He is not appeased to have a draw with Frances, and has insisted for another round until the victor is prominent.[11] Sebastian has noted that Ciel is arrogant and overly confident in his skills to the extent that he has the viewpoint of 'there is no way I can ever lose'. Therefore, there are still some childish traits in Ciel that would need to be corrected by the adult he respects.
