Sebastian

Sebastian Michaelis is the antihero in the anime/manga series ''Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji). ''He is the butler of the Phantomhive household and acts as Ciel's bodyguard, two jobs he is completely devoted to. However, he is not overly concerned about Ciel's well-being as he insults and even harms Ciel to see his reaction. An example of this would be when he releases venomous snakes even though he knows Ciel is in the area and could be bitten. He acknowledges this, saying "Any game becomes boring when it lacks thrills".

Sebastian often describes himself through the phrase "Because I am one hell of a butler" (わたしはあくまで執事ですから, Aku made shitsuji desu kara). The phrase plays on the word "demon" (あくま, akuma) and the phrase "to the end" (あくまで, aku made). It can also translate to "I am a demon and a butler". The name Sebastian is in fact a temporary name given to him by Ciel and was previously held by Ciel's dog. His name is similar to that of Father Sebastien Michaelis, who compiled a hierarchy of demons in Hell.

Abilities
He is highly skilled in any area and handles every task, no matter how impossible it is as well as any problem that arises from the errors of the other staff with ease, stating it is only natural as the butler to the Phantomhive family (Or since being here a butler of the Inn). This is due to the fact he is a demon bound by a Faustian contract to abide by Ciel's will. A sign similar to the one marking Ciel's right eye can be found on Sebastian's left hand, which has been used on one occasion to twist the arm of a kidnapper without touching him. Sebastian can take the form of a crow or a cat. Sebastian's true demonic form has not been fully revealed.
