Black Butler Synopsis
Young Ciel Phantomhive is known as the
“Queen's Watchdog,” as he is in charge of the many disturbing events that occur
during Victorian England for Her Majesty. With the help of Sebastian Michaelis,
his loyal butler with seemingly inhuman abilities, Ciel uses any means
necessary to get the job done. But is there more to this black-clad butler than
meets the eye?
In Ciel's past lies a tragedy that
enveloped him in perennial darkness: during one of his darkest moments, he
formed a contract with Sebastian, a demon, trading his soul in exchange for
revenge on those who threatened him. Now, Sebastian is not only a great butler,
but he is also the perfect servant to carry out his master's orders, while he
waits patiently for the delicious meal that he will eventually prepare with
Ciel's soul.
