Noah's Ark Circus


The Noah's Ark Circus is a traveling circus created by Baron Kelvin, who is referred to simply as Father by the circus performers. The members have the been rejected by society for various reasons. The circus is investigated by Ciel upon Queen Victoria's request because children disappear from cities around the same time the circus visit. The performers are divided into two tiers. The first tier is composed of the very best performers who perform regularly; the second tier is made up of newcomers. The first tier has eight performers referred to as Joker, Dagger, Snake, Beast, Doll, Wendy, Peter, and Jumbo, all of which, with the exception of Snake, come from the same workhouse. Joker is the leader when the circus is traveling. Beast is an animal tamer and seems to have feelings for Joker, although she does not show this in public. Dagger is a knife thrower and is infatuated with Beast, often fawning over and presenting her with gifts.

Snake can understand snakes and is supposedly half-snake himself; his snakes guard the first tier member's tent and speak through him. Doll is a tightrope walker, but she also pretends to be a new member male performer called Freckles. Wendy and Peter are a pair of trapeze artists and Jumbo is a fire eater.

Except for Snake, Joker and Doll, all of the first tier performers are killed by Baldroy, Finnian and Mey-Rin when they attack the Phantomhive manor in an attempt to kidnap Ciel. Doll later attempts to kill Ciel.Her fate is left unknown but she is probably killed by Sebastian as Ciel called out his name when Doll attempted to stab him. Afterwards, Ciel and Sebastian went to check out the workhouse to find all of the children, only to find out the place didn't exist and the building looked to have been deserted for many years. Ciel, Sebastian, and William join the circus to investigate for various reasons.

Joker
Joker is the leader of the circus when it is traveling and serves Baron Kelvin as a butler when he is at the manor. He recognized by his prosthetic skeleton arm and is initially portrayed as a very goofy person. However, he is actually strict and serious. Although he does not agree with some of Baron Kelvin's decisions, he follows every order given to him because he wants to protect his "brothers and sisters" in the workhouse. He, like every first tier performer, refers to Baron Kelvin as Father because the Baron took him off the streets as a child and raised him in addition to providing artificial limbs. Joker is unaware of the fact that the kidnapped children are used by Doctor as material for the prosthetics, nor did he know that the workhouse never existed. He dies of blood loss,having Sebastian sever his other arm,as he attempted to defend 'Father' from Ciel.

An incarnation of Joker briefly shows up in episodes 10-12 of Season 1 of the anime in the form of Drocell the Butler, a reanimated corpse turned into a puppet by an unknown master, who kidnapped a lot of young girls along with Lady Elizabeth and turned their bodies into lifeless dolls that he could manipulate with his organ musical box.

Baron Kelvin


Baron Kelvin is the creator of the Noah's Ark Circus and is referred to as Father by the tier one performers. Except for his left eye, his entire face is covered by bandages. He seems to have a great love for children and uses his circus as a way to kidnap them. He then brainwashes them and has them act as his servants. However, he does not care for their well being and even finds it entertaining when he has them die gruesomely while performing in a circus without training. He knew Ciel as a small boy and recreates the room Ciel was branded and caged in as a child. He is infatuated with Ciel, blushing and saying it is like a dream to have Ciel beside him. It is insinuated that because of this infatuation he has kidnapped children. When he first met Ciel and he believed he was too ugly and underwent many surgeries for Ciel, only to believe it a waste when he hears the Phantomhive were killed. He is later killed by Ciel and his mansion is burned by Sebastian.

Doctor

Doctor is the kind, wheelchair-bound doctor who cares for the performers of the circus. However, this is later revealed to be a ruse as he can walk and is quite sadistic. He hand carves the prosthetic limbs used by some of the first tier performers from a unknown strong material, later revealed to be a special bone china using the bones of children. He has Kelvin use his power and money to provide him with the resources he needed to perfect his prosthesis research and has him kidnap children for the prosthetics. He is killed by Sebastian under Ciel's orders.

Beast

Beast is one of the leading characters in the circus ark. Beast is a busty woman, with a well endowed chest and curves. Her eyes are on Joker, whom she has been with since the circus started. Being picked off the street as well, Jokers dedication to "father" as they call him, doesn't reach as far for her. When she speaks of him to Sebastian, she uses a bit of malice. Beast has been in love with Joker, for a long time. Only her love is unrequited because Joker see's her as just a sister to protect along with the rest of their family.

Ciel and his Butler, Sebastian Michaelis infiltrated the Circus to find information on their "father" and his involvement in the kidnapping of young children by Queen Victoria's Order. Ciel poses as a poor boy who used to work in a wealthy home and who used to steal. (As he lied to Freckles about why he was there to gain her sympathy). On one of the nights that Sebastian had staked out to use Beast as a last resort on obtaining the information on "Father", Beast had just confessed her love to Joker only to be rejected and left feeling heart broken. Feeling sad and grievous, Sebastian uses this as a chance to take advantage of Beast, seducing her and promising her a night of comfort, to forget how she was feeling. Sebastian uses sweet words and his sex appeal to make her agree. Beast leads Sebastian (Known as Black in the Circus) to her tent and there, Sebastian fulfills his promise and gets all the information he needs on "father" from her.

Dagger

Dagger is referred to as the Noah's Ark Circus bulls-eye knife thrower who never misses his mark. Dagger appears as young and slim. He is missing his right leg, and has an artificial one made by Doctor that he wears instead. Dagger is a flamboyant, dramatic, energetic boy who is nearly constantly smiling. He seems to have a great love, bordering on obsession, for Beast, whom he always refers to as "Sis" or "Big Sis." He is always willing to express his feelings for her, frequently serenading her or offering her gifts. When Sebastian Michaelis ended up too close to her by touching her leg, he was very upset, because he hadn't touched her yet. He continues these acts, even when Beast is not around and despite no indication of interest from her. He seems to very much enjoy the company of others, as shown when he encourages Ciel Phantomhive and Sebastian to make new friends, too. When he doesn't understand what people are saying, he tends to assume they're joking. He is only infrequently shown to be serious, such as when getting ready to go on a mission for Baron Kelvin, but even then, he is quick to make jokes. Even while dying, he is shown smiling.


Like the other first-tier members, he lived in an alley in the East End. He has been missing his right leg since birth, a commonality that linked him with the others. One day, Baron Kelvin found them in the alley, and invited them to come live at his mansion. After some time there, they decided to start a circus, and Joker gave him the stage name Dagger, which he didn't initially appear to be very excited about. His real name is not known.

Peter

Peter works with Wendy as a trapeze artist in the Noah's Ark Circus. Together, they are introduced as the "gasp-inducing flying blanco." Peter appears as a young boy with short, thick, blond hair. Peter is prone to violence, angers easily and frequently makes rude, sarcastic remarks. He appears to have no problems with killing other individuals, or even striking or threatening other members of the circus. Despite his tendency to anger easily, he is shown to be capable of making quick decisions, such as when he abandons attacking Finnian to take out a more serious threat.

He is also extremely intelligent, as demonstrated by his ability to quickly deduce the reason for the Phantomhive's large gun collection. He may bear some ill will toward Doll, as he is only seen insulting her. He may also not be very fond of Snake, as he threatens his life as well. However, he does seem to care deeply about Wendy, as he is almost always by her side, and even leaves a circus performance to sit with her when she's injured. He also seems to respect Jumbo, as he listens when Jumbo tells him things, and is visibly distressed when Jumbo is killed.

Peter grew up with the other first-tier members in an alley in the East End. Joker stated that they came together because they all had a similar problem. In Peter's and Wendy's case, they are trapped in children's bodies. (This may or may not be a reference to Peter Pan, where the children stayed like that.) It is because of this that although they appear to be the youngest of the first-tier circus members, they may actually be significantly older. This is implied when Peter reprimands Doll for being a child, despite appearing to be younger than her.

Wendy

Wendy works with Peter as a trapeze artist in the Noah's Ark Circus. Together, they are introduced as the "gasp-inducing flying blanco." Wendy appears as a small child with large, red eyes. She wears her brown hair up in two buns and wears a small, black crown. She initially seems soft-spoken, and usually defers to Peter to do most of the talking. However, when she does speak, she presents herself in a mature manner, such as when she comforts Beast. Like the other first-tier circus members, she seems very concerned with completing the tasks set out to them by Baron Kelvin, and seems to have no qualms about kidnapping or murdering individuals while accomplishing these tasks. She cares deeply about the other first-tier circus members, perhaps more than she cares about Baron Kelvin, and seems to be most attached to Peter, as she is almost always in his presence. Wendy grew up in an alley in the East End, referred to as a gutter, with the other first-tier circus members, less Snake.

Wendy and Peter share the same problem, which is that they have been in bodies that appear like children's forever. (This may or may not be a reference to Peter Pan, where the children stayed like that.) For this reason, even though they appear to be the youngest of the circus members, they may actually be significantly older, which has been hinted at, such as when Peter called Doll, who appears older than both Peter and Wendy, a child. Like the others, they were picked up by Baron Kelvin and went to live at his manor. After some time, they decided to start a circus, and Wendy and Peter formed the trapeze act. It is not known if Wendy is her real name or a stage name.

Jumbo

Jumbo is the Noah's Ark Circus fire eater. He starts the shows of the circus with one shot of fire. Jumbo, as his name would indicate, is an extremely large man, who seems to have a slight hunch. He is bald and has red tattoos of fire that wraps around the back of his head, on his shoulders and on his forearms. Jumbo seems to be the voice of reason among the circus members. He seems to be very level-headed and is not prone to giving into his emotions. Nonetheless, he is extremely kind and generous, once stopping his work to help Dagger play with the other children in the past. Even though he is willing to kill people in order to carry out his orders, he seems to be genuinely unhappy about having to do so.

It is stated that his problem is that he was raised too harshly and was deformed by his parents. Like the others, he was picked up by Baron Kelvin and came to live in his manor. When the others decided to start a circus, he became the fire eater.

Snake

Snake is the Noah's Ark Circus snake charmer, is apparently capable of understanding snakes and is said to be half-snake himself. His snakes guard the first-tier members' tents and can speak through him. He has at least nine named snakes, who are called Wordsworth, Emily, Goethe, Oscar, Wilde, Webster, Bronte, Dan, and Keats. Snake is a young, relatively skinny male with short white hair with a cowlick, who appears to have small patches of scales all over his body. Snake is quiet, rarely speaking, and when he does, it's usually to relay information from one of his snakes. Joker tells Ciel Phantomhive and Sebastian Michaelis that "Snake an' his friends're still shy" and warns them to be careful of "their poison." However, he seems to have a bit of a playful side, as he flirts Dagger through one of his snakes. He seems to care enough about the other first-tier members to provide information and warnings, as shown when he apologizes to Doll for allowing his snakes to roam loose. However, he delayed in telling the others about Ciel's and Sebastian's invasion of their tents for an unknown reason, and he is not shown referring to the other first-tier members as brothers or sisters, as they do. He also does not accompany them on their missions, and doesn't seem to be fully informed as to what they're doing when they're gone.Furthermore, he seems to dislike being in positions of authority, as when the second-tier members question where the other first-tier members are at, he relays only small bits of information before leaving the decisions to the others.

Not much is known of Snake's history, other than that he was not an original first-tier member, and joined the cast at a later date. Because of his skill with snake charming, and the fact that they had no one else capable of doing it, Joker allowed him to become a first-tier member. In chapter 50, however, it was revealed that before he was a member of Noah's Ark Circus, he was put on display as 'snakeman'. The first-tier members are seen finding him, and while Beast and Dagger threaten the ring-leader, Doll - though in that scene, she was dressed as Freckles - and Joker open his cage to let him out. Snake remarks that despite his appearance, the first-tier members treated him like family.

Doll

Doll is a first-tier member of the Noah's Ark Circus, and holds the position of tightrope walker, who is initially introduced as the princess of the circus with a death-defying tightrope walk. However, when not performing, she pretends to be a new, male, second-tier member named Freckles. When first introduced, she appears to be a youthful male with freckles dotting her face across her nose, brown hair, and blue eyes. When she is dressed in her performing clothes, she wears a wig that appears to be made of white flowers with two feathers sticking out the left side and beads dangling from the end of her wig. It also is worn so as to cover her left eye. Doll is friendly and welcoming, making conversation with Ciel Phantomhive after they were named tent mates, and appears to view him as a friend quickly. She easily forgives him when he claims he was stealing items, but lightly reprimands him for doing so. She seems to view it as a necessity to look after him, waking him up when he oversleeps, sharing her food when he does not get enough, and attempting to teach him how to be a better performer. She is a bit naive, though, easily believing lies Ciel tells her, something that the other circus performers have reprimanded her for.

It is shown that the reason why she pretends to be a male, second-tier performer is because she sleeps better when she is sharing a room with someone else, something the first-tier performers do not have to do. She seems pleased when Ciel allows her to continue her charade as Freckles, and is even seen climbing into his bed when he was sick to keep him company. The other first-tier members also seem okay with her pretending to be Freckles, as they refer to her as a male when she is acting as him.

She does not appear to be modest, as shown when she attempts to get Ciel to take a bath, offering to wash his back for him, and when she allows him to touch her chest to prove that she is female. She even offers to allow him to "take a peek downstairs," as she words it. She is exceedingly loyal to the other first-tier circus performers, perhaps even more so than she is to Baron Kelvin, as she appears to be more distraught about news of Joker's death than she is about his. She views all of them as family, calling the other first-tier members brothers and sisters and calling Baron Kelvin "Father."

It is said that the reason for the loss of her left eye is because her parents raised her too harshly and deformed her. She banded together with the others, because they had no hope of getting a job to earn money and even as thieves, were not very successful.

One day, Baron Kelvin found them in the alley and allowed them to come live at his estate, where they lived in luxury. Sometime thereafter, they decide to create a circus. Joker gave them all stage names, including Doll, who initially tries to refuse the name, saying it does not fit her. Joker dismisses her complaint, saying that of course it did, because she is their "cute little sister." Her birth name is unknown.

Viscount of Druitt

The Viscount of Druitt, Lord Aleister Chamber , is a noble who is known for his taste in fine art, wine and food. Of course, that is just the facade he upholds to the public. Although he does hold a great interest in those things, under it all he's just generally insane. At one of his many social gatherings, he met Ciel (who was pretending to be a girl at the time). He tried to seduce Ciel, Ciel then ended up getting locked up overnight in one of the auction cages. He has a bigger role in the anime, showing up in several other episodes for comedic relief. He has been shown to be close to Alois's father. He was also involved in a series of dark magic/occult meetings. He is voiced by Tatsuhisa Suzuki in the anime adaption and Todd Haberkorn in the English dub.

Paula

Paula is Elizabeth's maid who accompanies her where ever she goes. It is shown within the anime that Elizabeth and Paula have a close relationship, as Paula gives her advice and cares for her. After the market on ice in the anime, Paula became obsessed with jingling bells, that she does throughout the rest of the series. She is voiced by Yui Itsuki in the anime adaptation and by Jessica Cavanagh in the English Dub.

Queen Victoria

Queen Victoria is the Queen of the United Kingdom and has been described as having great beauty and grace. She is overly dramatic and almost insane. She is also very fond of Ciel, as in the manga she calls him 'dear boy' and says he should visit her more often. After the death of her husband, she does not appear in public often and begins to cry hysterically whenever he is mentioned.She also has a stuffed puppet of King Albert of whom she talks to whenever she is troubled and misses him. In the anime adaption, she nearly attempted suicide because of the grief until Ash approached her. Ashe gave her youth and attached part of her husband's body from her neck to her clavicle area. Because the skin continues to rot, it causes her great pain. When Ashe tries to fix the problem, she refuses to let him. She also plays a villainous role, becoming part of the Organization for everlasting youth and is the one who ordered the destruction of the Phantomhive Family. She later dies and a look-alike is placed on the throne. In the manga, she is served by John Brown who wears large goggles. He spends most of his role trying to keep up with her and calming her hysterical fits of tears. She is voiced by Ayako Kawasumi in the anime adaptation and Alexis Tipton in the English dub.

Fred Aberline

Fred Aberline is a young officer of Scotland Yard. In the anime adaption, he is portrayed as one who truly believes in the justice system. He wishes to make London a place where it is safe to have a family and plans to propose to his pregnant girlfriend. Like Ciel, he had to go through hard times to reach his current situation. Despite this, Ciel describes him as someone who walks in the light, whereas Ciel walks in the darkness. At first, Aberline does not trust Ciel and his position as the Queen's Watchdog, but later joins him as an ally. He is killed by Lau by using his body as a human shield to protect Ciel. His role in the manga adaption is significantly shorter and he is portrayed with a mustache. He is voiced by Hisayoshi Suganuma and Jonathan Brooks in the English dub. Aberline is modeled after the real life Frederick Aberline, the Chief Inspector for the London Metropolitan Police and a prominent investigator of the Jack the Ripper murders.

In the second anime series he seems to have made a comeback with his original manga design intact. In the third episode he is introduced working with Sir Randall on the cases relating to strange human combustion occurring throughout the city. However, he does not seem to recognize Ciel and has more of a serious expression compared to his first TV series' optimistic nature. He also has a mustache similar to his Manga counterpart. However he has mentioned his brother spoke of Ciel, suggesting he is actually Fred's twin.

Angela and Ashe

The anime adaption introduces a hermaphrodite angel with two personalities, initially introduced as two people named Angela Blanc and Ashe Landers . Angela is introduced as a maid who is treated poorly in public by her master the Lord Henry Barrymore of Houndsworth. Finnian is infatuated with her beauty and seeming kindness, until he learns of her dominatrix personality. She seems to have the desire to be with Sebastian.

When the Angela persona is in control, she wants him to recognize her as a woman and has a place beside her in her bid for world domination. Ashe is introduced as Queen Victoria's butler who delivers all of her requests to the Phantomhive Head. His appearance is the opposite of Sebastian's; Ashe wears a white suit and has white hair. He wears black gloves whereas Sebastian wears white ones. He is connected to the organization that killed Ciel's parents and seems to be the leader as he is able to ask Scotland Yard to arrest Sebastian. Like other members, he has an obsession of purifying souls "unclean" with negative emotions.

Eventually, he falls into insanity, leading Sebastian to comment he might be a fallen angel. He is killed by Sebastian's true form. He fights with a sword that resembles a fencing foil, which is strong enough to cut through steel. Angela and Ashe are voiced by Akiko Yajima and Satoshi Hino respectively and by Colleen Clinkenbeard and Chuck Huber in the English dub, respectively

Double Charles

They are manga characters.They are two people named Charles Grey and Charles Phipps. They are the Queen's private secretarial and butlers. They seem to have mysterious jobs pertaining to the Queen's wishes.


Earl Charles Grey

He is part of the Double Charles private butler of the Queen. He was the murderer of Siemens in Chapter 39 due to the Queen's orders.


'Lord Randall

The leader of the Scotland Yard. He genuinely hates Ciel's guts and dubs him a devil. He particularly hates it when Ciel intervenes with his crime cases. His disgust for Ciel is something he shows openly though his social rank is significantly lower than Ciel's.

Trancy Estate

Like the Phantomhive family, the Trancy family worked for the Queen. While the Phantomhives were referred to as Dogs of the Queen, the Trancy family were referred to as the Spider of the Queen. The Queen's Dog sends her troubles into the darkness, while the Queen's Spider destroys them in the darkness.

Earl Alois Trancy

A blonde child who appears to be carefree, but is actually quite morbid and manipulative. He mistreats his servant, Hanna, and he is shown gouging out her left eye in the first episode as well as does actions simply to see if it will annoy his servants. Initially, it was thought that he was kidnapped after birth, thus resulting in his mother's suicide. Alois was kept in an unknown village for some time where he was worked like a slave, until one day when all the people in that village were killed, including a younger boy whom he considered as his little brother. He was found by his father, but suffered sexual abuse. The first episode showed him getting out of a bed with his father, Alois's body discolored by bruises. His father died of the plague. Alois' contract is found on his tongue, having been sealed there by a spider. Unlike Ciel, who thinks of his Demon Butler as his knight/servant, Alois is dependent on Claude, clinging to him and ordering him to not leave him alone in darkness (Alois is afraid of the dark because of his past). Also unlike Ciel, who hides his contract, Alois often displays his by showing off his tongue as much as possible. A mystery in the series is how he is controlling the actions of five demons as aside Claude all the other household servants seem to be demons as well. He is voiced by Nana Mizuki in the anime adaption. The Director of Kuroshitsuji ΙΙ commented that Alois was a "boy of rare beauty."


Alois Trancy is a foil to Ciel Phantomhive. Ciel, despite his hardships and seeming indifference, actually cares for people and causes and attempts to be stable and poised. However, Alois is his opposite - appearing to be energetic he is psychologically scarred and pathologically abusive and calculative. He is also known as bipolar. Although his personality is often said to be too "needy," and often "incomplete" when compared with Ciel's hard-intent determination, Alois had been praised numerous times as the epitome of complex logic. Alois is symbolized via light colors such as gold, red and white (his normal attire is dark purple) whereas Ciel is symbolized via dark colors like black, violet and blue (his normal attire is dark blue). Their personalities, however, conflict with their imagery. They also have opposite tolerances for pain: while Ciel was able to grab a blade without flinching, Alois becomes completely hysterical at the sight of his own blood. In Episode 7 Alois is horribly stabbed at the stomach by Ciel and saved by Claude. In the beginning of episode 8 he orders Hanna to take him to Ciel and she takes him by a carriage where his past soon becomes apparent.

In Episode 8 Alois was killed by Claude, and his past revealed. Alois Trancy's real name was Jim McCain. His younger brother, Luca, and he were abandoned orphans. Alois became angry with the people in his village because the villagers mistreated his brother and him despite them being alone, and so wished for their deaths. Luca believed in Jim and stated that his older brother could always do anything he wanted; Jim told Luca to follow him for protection, to which Luca responded: "Yes, your Highness." One night when Jim and Luca went to get water from the river, they saw a dead body floating in it, and the distant village in flames. Upon the discovery that all of the villagers had died, Jim burst in frenzied joy. Though Luca was initially happy, he became slightly concerned for his brother. While stealing from the villagers, Jim got an odd feeling that he was being watched and called out to Luca to return; however, he found Luca dead. After a while Jim was brought along with other boys to Trancy, who was revealed to be a pedophile. Jim was initially rejected by Trancy as he was said to have filthy looking eyes. He later overheard a boy talking about summoning a fairy. Seeking out this fairy, he instead summons Claude, creating the contract in what appeared to be a strange dream ritual. Jim uses his sex appeal to gain Trancy's trust and his estate, discovering(from Claude) that Sebastian had destroyed the village upon the orders of his former master. Ciel Phantomhive was Sebastian's new master. Jim, now Alois Trancy, decided to take revenge on Sebastian by taking Ciel and delivering an agony upon him worse than death. As Jim was bleeding Grell comes to take his soul but he ordered Hanna to fight him. While crawling away, images of his past come in the scenes where he threw plates at Claude for staring at him, slapping him for being too obedient and finally, wanting him to keep on saying "Yes, your Highness," like his brother, Luca, did long ago. Jim was bleeding and attracted the attention of a wolf. Claude came and rescued Jim from the wolf and Jim was overjoyed. Claude smiles (in the previous episode Alois found this disgusting, this time, he became frozen by the action) and sits down and stares at Jim's face but then kills him commenting that a soul like his, which can give (platonic) love/respect/admiration to a menial butler as himself, does not stir his appetite. However, he does state that Alois's does still have a use. He takes Alois's ring and puts it inside his jacket stating he will always be by his side and then leaves as even Grell has no problems with his actions.

After a moment, Hannah sits before Alois's deceased body and whispered to him that she would finally give the boy what he wished for. It is revealed that Hannah had a substantial role in Alois's life all along, and she--though mistreated by him--loved Alois more than anyone else. Also that she had a plan to grant Alois's wish; for everything to be as simple as he and his brother, Luka, happy together. When Alois's soul is placed in Ciel, it is Hannah who re-awakens Alois's consciousness. It is from that point on that she told Alois that he still has both she and Luca. Alois then realized that he should have been loving Hannah the whole time instead of so desperately trying to gain Claude's approval and acknowledgement. He tried to give Claude one last chance when he and Sebastian race each other through a maze. He even allowed Claude the handicap of getting every answer in the race trivia correct, only for Claude to reveal that he only used Alois and never acknowledged his soul as worthy to be eaten. Alois finally snapped and claimed that he hated Claude and that everyone who used him or wouldn't acknowledge him should die. Hannah comforeds Alois and they formed a new contract. As Claude and Sebastian arrive at the end of the maze, a broken Alois told Claude that he just wanted to be loved (in a sense, Alois basically stated that he wanted someone, anyone to love him and acknowledge his existence). Then, Alois/Ciel fell unconscious as Hannah held him and put the butlers up for a duel. Sebastian won and killed Claude, but not before Claude acknowledged that maybe Alois's soul would have been delicious after all. Now in an inner world, connecting and comunicating with Ciel's consciousness, Alois became shocked and aware of Claude's death, relaxed a bit, and then disappears with a smile on his face, leaving Ciel alone. In the end, Hannah approached Claude's dead body and proclaimed that she, Alois, Luca, and Claude would live happily in the afterlife.

Claude Faustus

A spectacle wearing Demon Butler who shows no emotion. He does things perfectly and with ease and is shown in the first episode tap-dancing before changing the decorations. He has a similar catchphrase to Sebastian, though instead of saying "Yes, My Lord" he says "Yes, Your Highness". He also uses a Japanese alternate translation the same way Sebastian does, but his phrase is "I wish to deeply desire you", alternately translated as "I wish to devour you fully". He starts to take in interest in Ciel's soul when he is slapped with Ciel's bloody hand and gets a taste of the blood left saying, "[Ciel's soul] knows hatred and wants revenge, yet is pure and innocent." He is voiced by Takahiro Sakurai in the anime.


He is a foil to Sebastian Michaelis - he seems to be more indifferent never showing any emotion. He is more of a perfectionist and likes to criticize Sebastian as he takes methodologies in being a butler too seriously. He also has immense control over the other household servants, who listen to him without failure - for after Alois they take him as their master and he expects them to follow his commands: this is the opposite of Sebastian's command which is more flexible. Though Alois wants him to be animated he always wears an indifferent mask on his face and unlike Sebastian never seems to attempt to stop his master from doing unjust or inappropriate things. This can be seen in the case that Sebastian once stopped Ciel from slapping Elizabeth as it was a rash decision, however, Claude makes no comment or action against Alois for gauging out Hannah's eye. It seems no matter whatever psychotic action Alois performs Claude does not intervene in any way to do other actions. Despite the initial appearances Claude is not much devoted to Alois. He sees Alois more as the soul he wants to cultivate and devour (like a cook or a gardener) and the act of butler more as the most suitable method for this. The incident can be seen when Claude is so intoxicated, having tasted Ciel's blood, that he does not care that Alois is bleeding and even when Alois is screaming at him with words tied to his bond he does not seem to flinch. In the end it can be concluded that Claude is more selfish and ruthless than Sebastian in the sense that he'll go to any length to taste a soul that is different - this "difference" is discussed by Sebastian and Claude as souls who have a special flavour and possess rare qualities that other souls do not. Ciel and Alois both fall in this category, however, Claude seems to want to taste Ciel's soul as well much to Sebastian's disdain.

In Episode 8 Claude shockingly kills Alois Trancy. Alois's past is revealed - he had summoned Claude in a strange dream ritual where he puts his face to a spider's web filled with morning dew and soon Claude comes. Alois, who is actually Jim, is trapped in a large web of a spider where there are other dead bodies. Claude comes to him as in the form of a surreal spider and initially at Jim's hesitation thinks he has no wish but then even without Jim speaking seems to realize his desire. Claude tells Jim that Sebastian former master had ordered him to destroy the village so he did but Sebastian has already consumed him and that Ciel is his current master. Jim wins the favour of Trancy and becomes Alois Trancy and Claude becomes his butler after Trancy "dies" (is killed). Jim decides to get Ciel and deliver a fate to Sebastian worse than death.

As Alois is bleeding and Grell comes for his soul he crawls away as Hannah fights. Claude comes and saves him from being a prey of a wolf. Jim then states that Claude is his Highness and the only one he can trust in the world. Claude sits down and faces Jim and shockingly he puts his hand inside the back of Jim's head (or as The Kuroshitsuji Wiki suggests crushes his skull), killing him. He then gets up and takes Jim's ring and states that a soul that can have love/respect/admiration for a menial butler such as himself does not stir his appetite so he tells Jim not to worry as he puts his ring in his pocket, stating that he will always be by Jim's side. He also comments that Alois's soul still has a use. Then he leaves as Grell has had no problems with his actions.

The nature of his actions are unclear - Claude has made a deal with Sebastian that he will allow Ciel to target Alois as his enemy and will only go after Ciel for Alois after the revenge is complete - possibly by killing Alois he has made part of his contract possible but what his other actions are now is still unknown.

Hannah Annafellows

Alois's maid and servant. In the first episode of the second season, Hannah gets her left eye gouged out by Alois on the account that she stared at him directly. She is quiet and seems to be very fearful of Alois as he often harms and humiliates her. This is also seen in Episode five when Alois throws a fake crown at her head causing her to bleed. She is very skilled with combat and able to pull weapons out of nowhere. In Episode 9, It is revealed that she is the Sheath of the legendary sword Laevateinn, and in Episode 8 it is revealed by Grell as she is about to fight with him that she is a demon. Her name (Hannah in Japanese means flower) implies that she is a flower demon. She is voiced by Aya Hirano in the anime.

After Claude kills Alois in Episode 8 Hannah comes and sits on top of his dead body, and cuts at his eye and pressing her face affectionately towards Alois tells him she is giving him what he wants: which can presumed as affection and love. It's later revealed that she was the demon that made a contract with Alois' brother, Luka. He asked her to grant Alois's wish to have his village murdered. He later thanked her as she devoured his soul. Hannah's previous actions seem to have been quite the facade as she reveals latter that her eye was already healed. Also, it is revealed that the triplets are her subordinates, not Claude's. How she came to work with Claude is unknown, however her reasoning might have involved Alois. Hannah awakens Alois' subconscious once his soul was fused with Ciel's. She tells Alois that he still has both she and Luca. She also proclaims that she loves Alois and he realizes that he should have loved her instead of trying to gain acknowledgement from Claude. After Alois proclaims that everyone who used him should die, Hannah forms a contract with him as she comforts him with her affection. She stays loyal to Alois to the end and states that she, Alois, Luca, and Claude will live happily in the afterlife.
