Michaelis, Sebastian

セバスチャン・ミカエリス

Sebastian Michaelis serves as the demon butler for the Phantomhive household. He frequently characterizes himself with the line, "Because I am simply one hell of a butler" (わたしはあくまで執事ですから, Watashi wa akumade shitsuji desu kara). This expression relies on a pun involving the word for "demon" (あくま, akuma) and the phrase "to the end" (あくまで, akumade). It may also be translated as "I am a demon and a butler."
Sebastian possesses high proficiency in all fields and manages every task, regardless of its impossibility, as well as any issues stemming from the mistakes of other staff members, with ease. He asserts that this is only natural for the butler of the Phantomhive family. This capability stems from his status as a demon bound by a Faustian contract to obey Ciel's will. A mark resembling the one on Ciel's right eye appears on Sebastian's left hand, which was used on one occasion to twist a kidnapper's arm without physical contact.
