Ciel asked the man, who had brought them there, where they were, but he only replied that they did not have to be afraid before announcing to the crowd that the twins would be their next sacrificial lambs and that they had to defile their pure and innocent souls in order to "prepare" them for the ritual. Later on that day, the twins were dressed for a "party." The man took them to a cathedral where a cult consisting of people wearing masks in the shape of moths had gathered. While Ciel believed that they had been saved by a "nice man," "Ciel" remained suspicious. There they were washed, dressed, and given food. The next day, the twins were brought by a man and taken to his mansion. Then, "Ciel" swallowed the ring to ensure that it would not be taken away from them. At night, "Ciel" woke up his brother to show him the blue Phantomhive ring and tell him that it would help them return home. In their misery, the brothers began to cry and embraced each other. The twins were put in the same cage, and "Ciel" apologized to Ciel for being pathetic and "a failure of an older brother" as he had not been strong and powerful enough to protect him. Alongside Ciel, he was later kidnapped by human traffickers and tagged. At some point during the attack on the manor, something terrible happened to "Ciel". Eventually, he discovered his parents' corpses and retrieved the blue Phantomhive ring from his father's finger. "Ciel" wandered around Phantomhive Manor in search for answers. He refused his brother's wish to accompany him and told him to stay in their room before he left. They continued to wait, and when there was still no sign of Tanaka 45 minutes later, the twins became anxious, and "Ciel" decided to go and find out what was wrong. When they woke up, it was already six o'clock, but Tanaka still had not arrived.
"Ciel" and Ciel went to spent the time waiting by playing games in their room and fell asleep after a while. Tanaka told the twins to go to their room and that he would come to get them ready for the party at six o'clock. There, Tanaka and the cooks shooed them away as they were not allowed to see their birthday cake until the party started. Happily, "Ciel" and Ciel walked around the manor until they arrived at the kitchen. The twins were then congratulated by their parents and given the day off from their studies. They wished each other a happy birthday before they got dressed and went downstairs to marvel at the decorated dining room and the presents under the tree. Years later, on his and his brother's tenth birthday, "Ciel" was woken up by Ciel and given one of the two rabbit fèves from their advent calendar. After a conversation with Rachel and Vincent, "Ciel" reluctantly accepted that he did not have any other choice but to become the Earl of Phantomhive. Not wanting to part with Ciel, "Ciel" told his parents that he did not want to become Earl anymore and wished to run a toy store with his brother instead. "Ciel" was content being his father's successor until Vincent took his sons to the nearby town for a lesson, and Ciel entrusted "Ciel" that he would like to move out of the manor and open a toy shop in London in the future. "Ciel Phantomhive" was born to Vincent and Rachel Phantomhive on December 14, 1875, a few minutes before his younger twin brother Ciel. a., he was instructed in fencing by his aunt Francis Midford. To prepare him for his future duties, he received special lessons, i. Īs the eldest son, "Ciel" was his father's heir and expected to succeed him eventually as the Earl of Phantomhive and Watchdog. Īdditionally, "Ciel" has shown to be rather possessive of Ciel as he expressed unhappiness upon the prospect of being separated from his brother in the future and bluntly told his father that he does not need any "fake brothers" after Vincent explained Weston College's Fag system to him. "Ciel" also does not suffer from debilitating asthma as his twin does.ĭespite their differences in personality, "Ciel" used to be very close to Ciel and assist him with his ailment: He would stay inside with him to keep him company, warm milk in the middle of the night, and sneak cough drops for him.
He is more playful and outgoing than his brother and shares many aspects of his personality and mannerism with his father. "Ciel" has a notably more confident aura than his brother he is usually seen smiling widely, laughing and playing with Elizabeth. He is an individual who exudes confidence and remains unruffled, even when accused of being an impostor. Another notable difference is that while Ciel's bangs curl to the right, "Ciel's" bangs curl to the left. "Ciel" looks identical to his brother and they have been stated to be mirror twins, but unlike Ciel, he does not bear a Faustian contract mark on his right eye.
