Как пишется сиэль фантомхайв на английском

Граф Сиэль Фантомхайв (англ. Ciel Phantomhive, яп. シエル・ファントムハイヴ, Shieru Fantomuhaivu^?) — главный герой аниме и манги Kuroshitsuji. Он является нынешним главой семьи Фантомхайв^[6] и владельцем корпорации «Фантом».^[7] В узких кругах и преступном мире печально известен как «Сторожевой пёс» королевы.^[8]

На самом деле, «Сиэль» — это имя его старшего брата, истинного Сиэля Фантомхайв.^[9] Настоящее имя младшего из близнецов Фантомхайв на данный момент неизвестно.

Внешность

Сиэль — довольно низкий подросток с голубовато-чёрными волосами и тёмно-синими глазами. По описанию его портнихи, Нины Хопкинс, Сиэль имеет «идеальные пропорции тела»: у него тонкие кисти, хрупкие плечи и стройная талия.^[10] Как правило, он одевается в костюмы, соответствующие его высокому статусу. Его гардероб достаточно обширен.

Сиэль практически всегда носит на правом глазу чёрную повязку, изготовленную из газа.^[11] Это необходимо, чтобы скрыть печать контракта с Себастьяном Михаэлисом. Если же ему нужно замаскироваться, он надевает белую повязку, напоминающую трансдермальный пластырь.^[12][13] Также на левой стороне спины Сиэля находится клеймо, поставленное ему во время рабства в секте.^[14]

У Сиэля есть два кольца: первое — серебряное кольцо с тёмно-синим камнем, которое он носит на большом пальце левой руки. Это кольцо — единственная сохранившаяся семейная реликвия, которая передавалась из поколения в поколение к главам семьи Фантомхайв.^[15] Второе кольцо — золотой перстень с гербом Фантомхайв. Сиэль носит его на среднем пальце правой руки и использует для того, чтобы ставить восковые печати на документах. Этот перстень был передан ему Анджелиной Даллес после того, как он вернулся из секты. Она сказала Сиэлю, что только он уцелел. Остальные же перстни были уничтожены при пожаре в поместье Фантомхайв.^[16]

Характер

Сиэль — высокомерный и проницательный мальчик, имеющий ряд высокопоставленных должностей: глава дворянской семьи Фантомхайв, владелец корпорации «Фантом» и «Сторожевой пёс» королевы.

Как граф Фантомхайв и известный дворянин, Сиэль достаточно строг, гордится собой и привык к роскошному образу жизни. Он отказывается находиться в бедной, неподобающей графу обстановке долгое время.^[17] Сиэль с большим трудом одевается и выполняет домашние дела, поскольку всё это за него обычно делает Себастьян.^[18] Он суров в своих приказах, особенно, когда дело касается его репутации, и требует от своего дворецкого их выполнения без каких-либо оплошностей. Но, несмотря на это, Сиэль часто развлекает себя, оспаривая Себастьяна в области силы и умений.^[19] Они с Себастьяном часто работают вместе, и порой кажется, что только дворецкий полностью осведомлен о его планах. Кроме того, Сиэль имеет относительно холодный взгляд на жизнь. Цель его существования состоит в том, чтобы те, кто предал семью Фантомхайв, испытали те же унижения и боль, что и он.^[20] Во время его пребывания в качестве раба у сектантов, которые подвергали его чудовищной жестокости, на теле Сиэля было поставлено клеймо, которое он скрывает абсолютно ото всех.^[21] Сиэль обладает непоколебимой решительностью: вместо того, чтобы безнадежно грустить о прошлом, он выбирает смерть без сожалений и прилагает все усилия, чтобы свершить свою месть. Он делает это несмотря на настойчивость своей тёти, которая желала, чтобы Сиэль наслаждался счастливой жизнью. Он часто сравнивает сложные ситуации с играми, такими как шахматы, считая себя королём на шахматной доске, который двигает свои пешки в бой.^[22]

Как владелец корпорации «Фантом», Сиэль проявляет прекрасную деловую хватку и отлично разбирается в вопросах торговли. Его характер помогает ему успешно руководить компанией.^[23] Но, тем не менее, говорят, что его жадность «не имеет границ». Когда у его компании появляется новый продукт, он сразу же делает всё, чтобы тот стал популярным.^[24]

Как «Сторожевой пёс» королевы, Сиэль преданно служит королеве Виктории и стремится выполнить все её поручения. Он утверждает, что не боится тайн и загадок, поскольку уверен, что может решить их все.^[25] Сиэль часто пользуется нечестными методами, такими как коррупция, если ему нужно собрать больше информации, чтобы закончить свою работу быстрее и эффективнее. Хотя сам он утверждает, что это просто гибкость с его стороны.^[26] Иногда для выполнения своих задач ему приходится маскироваться. Сиэль отличный актёр. Он готов воспользоваться всеми доступными средствами, и его не мучает совесть, когда ему приходится лгать.^[27] Сиэль безжалостен к своим врагам и легко избавляется от них.^[28]

Кроме того, Сиэль проявляет различные признаки посттравматического стрессового расстройства из-за того, что он был подвергнут жестокому обращению во время рабства в секте. Время от времени он вспоминает те страшные времена.^[29][30] Из-за своего ужасного прошлого он редко улыбается и утверждает, что забыл, как улыбаться, когда ему весело.^[31] Однако Сиэль проявляет искреннюю заботу о благополучии своих близких. Например, он выскочил перед медведем, чтобы спасти Элизабет Мидфорд,^[32] а также поклялся защищать её от Странных кукол.^[33] Он уделяет достаточное внимание потребностям своих слуг. Это видно на примере того, когда он ходил по магазинам, чтобы купить им всё необходимое.^[34]

Обычно Сиэль демонстрирует серьезное поведение, хотя иногда он может вести себя по-детски. Он чрезвычайно конкурентоспособный. Он не терпит ничью и проигрыш и желает быть победителем во всём.^[35] Себастьян отметил, что Сиэль — непревзойденный игрок, который думает, что ни за что не проиграет, но при этом переоценивает свои силы. Даже проигрыш Фрэнсис Мидфорд на охоте не сильно смирил его.^[36] Несмотря на незначительную физическую силу, Сиэль хорошо стреляет. Он часто носит с собой пистолет, а во время сна прячет его под подушкой.^[37][38]

Сиэль очень любит сладости.^[39] У него аллергия на кошек,^[40] а также он унаследовал астму от своей матери.^[41]

«So alike were they… Two peas in a pod, one a mirror image of the other.»
This article is about the elder twin and true Phantomhive heir. You may be looking for the current Earl of Phantomhive, Ciel Phantomhive.

«Ciel Phantomhive» («シエル・ファントムハイヴ», «Shieru Fantomuhaivu») is the true head of the Phantomhive house.^[8] He is also the elder identical twin brother of Ciel Phantomhive and Elizabeth Midford’s original fiancé.

Appearance

«Ciel» looks identical to his twin brother, Ciel Phantomhive: He is a short, slight teenage boy with grey-tinged, blue-black hair and rich peacock-blue eyes. However, unlike Ciel, he does not bear a Faustian contract seal on his right eye, and his bangs curl to the left rather than the right. As an aristocrat, he typically dresses in stylish, sumptuous clothes.

Personality

«Ciel» is a self-assured, well-spoken, and astute individual who remains unruffled even in the face of severe accusations. He is exceptionally skilled at persuading others to do his bidding and turning the tide to gain an advantage.^[9]

As a child, «Ciel» was cheerful and exuberant. He played regularly with Elizabeth Midford, and he did not balk at engaging with others at social events.^[10] A caring brother, he would keep Ciel company whenever the latter fell ill, bring him warm milk in the middle of the night, and secretly give him cough drops.^[11][12] Moreover, he was considerably attached to Ciel: He expressed his dismay at the prospect of being separated from Ciel in the future,^[13] and once bluntly told his father that he had no need for «fake brothers.»^[14]

As a Bizarre Doll, «Ciel» retains his confidence, social grace, and shrewdness. He has artfully and ruthlessly maneuvered his way into reclaiming the Earl of Phantomhive title, as well as engineered situations where he would emerge victorious.^[15] Moreover, he now exhibits malevolence toward Ciel and his allies, and intends to defeat them with Undertaker’s assistance.^[16]

History

«Ciel Phantomhive» was born to Vincent and Rachel Phantomhive on December 14, 1875, a few minutes before his younger twin brother Ciel.^[17]

«Ciel» was content being his father’s successor until Vincent took his sons to the nearby town for a lesson,^[18] and Ciel entrusted «Ciel» that he would like to move out of the manor and open a toy shop in London in the future.^[19] 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.^[20] 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.^[21]

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. 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.^[22]

The twins were then congratulated by their parents and given the day off from their studies. Happily, «Ciel» and Ciel walked around the manor until they arrived at the kitchen. There, Tanaka and the cooks shooed them away as they were not allowed to see their birthday cake until the party started. 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.^[23]

«Ciel» and Ciel went to spent the time waiting by playing games in their room and fell asleep after a while.^[24] When they woke up, it was already six o’clock, but Tanaka still had not arrived. They continued to wait, and when there was still no sign of Tanaka 45 minutes later, the twins became anxious,^[25] and «Ciel» decided to go and find out what was wrong. He refused his brother’s wish to accompany him and told him to stay in their room before he left.^[26]

«Ciel» wandered around Phantomhive Manor in search for answers. Eventually, he discovered his parents’ corpses and retrieved the blue Phantomhive ring from his father’s finger.^[27] At some point during the attack on the manor, something terrible happened to «Ciel».^[28] Alongside Ciel, he was later kidnapped by human traffickers and tagged.^[29]

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. In their misery, the brothers began to cry and embraced each other.^[30] At night, «Ciel» woke up his brother to show him the blue Phantomhive ring and tell him that it would help them return home. Then, «Ciel» swallowed the ring to ensure that it would not be taken away from them.^[31]

The next day, the twins were brought by a man and taken to his mansion. There they were washed, dressed, and given food. While Ciel believed that they had been saved by a «nice man,» «Ciel» remained suspicious.^[32]

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.^[33] 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.^[34] «Ciel» and Ciel were then violated by the cultists.^[35]

Afterwards on the day before Christmas,^[36] «Ciel» and Ciel were branded with the «mark of the beast.»^[37] In the following month, the twins were continuously violated, interjected with an unknown substance, force-fed, and abused in various different ways.^[38] However, as they were together, they did not completely lose hope; and «Ciel» declared that he would always protect Ciel.^[39]

At the end of this month, «Ciel» was used as a sacrifice in a ritual to summon a demon while Ciel had to watch, helplessly.^[40] In the process of the sacrifice, «Ciel» was stabbed in the chest and died.^[41]

The ritual was successful. However, the summoned demon unexpectedly chose to form a contract with «Ciel»‘s twin instead of with any of the cultists.^[42][43] Upon Ciel’s request, the demon killed the cultists^[44] and recovered the blue Phantomhive ring from «Ciel»‘s body^[45] before they left and set the cathedral on fire.^[46]

Shortly after Ciel and the demon left, Undertaker saved «Ciel»‘s corpse from the burning cathedral^[47] and turned him into a Bizarre Doll.^[2] Over the next three years, Undertaker kept «Ciel» «alive» and even matched his growth to his brother’s.^[48]

Plot

Blue Cult Arc

While «Ciel» is sleeping, Undertaker makes him swallow a mysterious liquid. «Ciel» wakes up half-asleep and asks him if it is morning. Undertaker covers his eyes with his hand, and tells him to sleep a little longer because it is too early for him to wake up.^[49]

On November 15, 1889,^[50] «Ciel» arrives at Phantomhive Manor, where he is greeted by the servants there.^[51]

Shortly afterward, Ciel Phantomhive and Sebastian Michaelis also enter the manor. «Ciel» hears them and descends the stairs, to their collective shock. He scolds a dismayed Ciel for getting drenched and assures him that he will never leave his side again and that he has come home. When Finnian states that it is impossible for there to be two Ciels, «Ciel» asserts that he is real. Finnian adds that he knew something was wrong when «Ciel» came home and calls him an impostor. Amused, «Ciel» declares that the true head of the Phantomhive house, Ciel Phantomhive, is actually him.^[52]

Blue Memory Arc

«Ciel» muses that this is the first time he has actually met Sebastian. He promptly asks him how dare he «do that» to him on «that day.» Sebastian affirms «Ciel»‘s statement that he is «Earl Ciel Phantomhive,» to the servants’ disbelief. At that moment, Tanaka arrives at the staircase and addresses «Ciel», stating that he was not in his room when he brought his tea. He reveals that he knew all along that there were two Ciels; twins in fact, to the bewildered servants.^[53]

An amused «Ciel» chides Ciel for confusing the servants by impersonating him. He adds that Tanaka told him that he used losing everything in the fire as an opportunity to hide the fact that he was a twin and calls Ciel a naughty boy for doing so. Ciel is hesitant when «Ciel,» asks him why he made such an outrageous lie and states that he will not be angry with him. Ciel, then, mutters that he is «the spare» to «Ciel Phantomhive,» heir to the Earl of Phantomhive.^[54]

Seeing Ciel’s shocked face, «Ciel» laughs and promises not to scold him for his lies—he even says that he would punish everyone who would call him a liar. Ciel and Sebastian are still baffled about «Ciel»‘s appearance as, to their knowledge, «Ciel» indeed died nearly four years ago. Then, Undertaker arrives and reveals that he rescued «Ciel»‘s body from the fire that night because he would not be able to restore him if he were burnt to ashes. When Sebastian questions his motives, Undertaker admits that he cannot bear to lose another Phantomhive.^[55]

Undertaker explains that «Ciel» is a «perfected» Bizarre Doll, and «Ciel» tells Ciel that, with Undertaker’s help, he was able to watch him from afar while he executed his Watchdog duties. Then, Grelle Sutcliff and Othello burst into the manor with the intention of punishing Undertaker.^[56]

However, it never comes to a fight as Scotland Yard, together with Alexis and Edward Midford, storms the manor as they have an anonymous tip that Blavat Sky was in the mansion. Fred Abberline demands to speak to the Earl and is shocked to see two Ciels. «Ciel» tells Edward and Alexis that he’s the real Ciel and that his twin stole his identity. At first, they are in disbelief, but then, Elizabeth appears and confirms his words, calling Ciel a liar.^[57]

«Ciel» is about to explain everything to Edward and Alexis, who are very confused about the situation, when a Scotland Yard officer runs into the entrance hall with a blood vial from the Sphere Music Hall.^[58] The officer is followed by some of his colleagues who have detained Blavat Sky^[59] who pretends in front of everyone that Ciel is Lord Sirius, the Blue Star, and the true mastermind behind the Sphere Music Hall.^[1] «Ciel», then, triumphantly watches his twin brother being arrested by Fred Abberline.^[60]

After everyone is gone, «Ciel» sits in the study and looks out of the window when Tanaka arrives with his tea and Undertaker asks him if it was wise to let Baldroy, Mey-Rin, Finnian, and Snake go. «Ciel» entrusts Undertaker that he and Ciel never had a proper fight growing up and that he was now looking forward to having a real sibling rivalry with him. He then questions Tanaka whether he really does not want to leave too and is amused when Tanaka tells him that he will definitely stay.^[61]

Later that night, «Ciel» looks at the moon and reaches for it when his body collapses. However, he is caught by Undertaker before he can hit the ground. «Ciel» says that he wants to go after his brother, only to be held back by his failing body, and wonders if this is how Ciel felt when they were children and he was housebound. Undertaker disagrees as «Ciel» appears to be happy right now.^[62]

Blue Revenge Arc

Sometime afterward, «Ciel» explains to Alexis and Francis that he and his brother were kidnapped on their tenth birthday by a cult and that he was used as a sacrifice in a ritual from which he suffered near-fatal wounds. Thankfully, Undertaker saved and treated him. However, due to the severity of his wounds, his healing process was long and he was unable to return right away.^[63] Alexis assures «Ciel» that they believe him, and Francis asks him whether he knows why his twin impersonated him for all these years, but «Ciel» can only tell her that he must have surely had his reasons and that he did not mean to hurt anyone. Then, «Ciel» declares that he will commence his rightful duties as the Earl of Phantomhive.^[15]

After Francis and Alexis left, Tanaka gave «Ciel» all the documents he had to read over and he spent the next hours attempting to become familiar with them and planning the reorganisation of his household^[64] before he was called downstairs to inspect the new Funtom Corporation products. «Ciel» marvelled over the fact that his brother had managed to fulfill his childhood dream despite everything and then instructed Tanaka to get rid of all the samples.^[65]

Sometime later, «Ciel» is in the midst of getting his blood replenished while Undertaker idles nearby. Polaris enters and informs them that the blood factory in the north at Heathfield Manor has been dismantled and that Chris Heathfield has been taken into custody.^[66]

«Ciel» is gleeful that his little brother has won the first round of their «first serious fight.» Polaris throws a fit over their foiled operation, as he is worried that they will run out of radiance for «Ciel», whom he refers to as Lord Sirius. «Ciel» tells Polaris that the title «Lord Sirius» belongs to his little brother now, and the latter apologizes. «Ciel» then notes that the shivering Polaris is pale and that, while it is easy to collect fresh blood for him, he cannot function for too long without it. After «Ciel» dismisses him for the day, Polaris, while weeping, confesses that he is terrified of losing his master again, for he is «a butler, even in death.»^[16]

«Ciel» is about to explain everything to Edward and Alexis, who are very confused about the situation, when a Scotland Yard officer runs into the entrance hall with a blood vial from the Sphere Music Hall.^[58] The officer is followed by some of his colleagues who have detained Blavat Sky^[59] who pretends in front of everyone that Ciel is Lord Sirius, the Blue Star, and the true mastermind behind the Sphere Music Hall.^[1] «Ciel», then, triumphantly watches his twin brother being arrested by Fred Abberline.^[60]

After everyone is gone, «Ciel» sits in the study and looks out of the window when Tanaka arrives with his tea and Undertaker asks him if it was wise to let Baldroy, Mey-Rin, Finnian, and Snake go. «Ciel» entrusts Undertaker that he and Ciel never had a proper fight growing up and that he was now looking forward to having a real sibling rivalry with him. He then questions Tanaka whether he really does not want to leave too and is amused when Tanaka tells him that he will definitely stay.^[61]

Later that night, «Ciel» looks at the moon and reaches for it when his body collapses. However, he is caught by Undertaker before he can hit the ground. «Ciel» says that he wants to go after his brother, only to be held back by his failing body, and wonders if this is how Ciel felt when they were children and he was housebound. Undertaker disagrees as «Ciel» appears to be happy right now.^[62]

Blue Revenge Arc

Sometime afterward, «Ciel» explains to Alexis and Francis that he and his brother were kidnapped on their tenth birthday by a cult and that he was used as a sacrifice in a ritual from which he suffered near-fatal wounds. Thankfully, Undertaker saved and treated him. However, due to the severity of his wounds, his healing process was long and he was unable to return right away.^[63] Alexis assures «Ciel» that they believe him, and Francis asks him whether he knows why his twin impersonated him for all these years, but «Ciel» can only tell her that he must have surely had his reasons and that he did not mean to hurt anyone. Then, «Ciel» declares that he will commence his rightful duties as the Earl of Phantomhive.^[15]

After Francis and Alexis left, Tanaka gave «Ciel» all the documents he had to read over and he spent the next hours attempting to become familiar with them and planning the reorganisation of his household^[64] before he was called downstairs to inspect the new Funtom Corporation products. «Ciel» marvelled over the fact that his brother had managed to fulfill his childhood dream despite everything and then instructed Tanaka to get rid of all the samples.^[65]

Sometime later, «Ciel» is in the midst of getting his blood replenished while Undertaker idles nearby. Polaris enters and informs them that the blood factory in the north at Heathfield Manor has been dismantled and that Chris Heathfield has been taken into custody.^[66]

«Ciel» is gleeful that his little brother has won the first round of their «first serious fight.» Polaris throws a fit over their foiled operation, as he is worried that they will run out of radiance for «Ciel», whom he refers to as Lord Sirius. «Ciel» tells Polaris that the title «Lord Sirius» belongs to his little brother now, and the latter apologizes. «Ciel» then notes that the shivering Polaris is pale and that, while it is easy to collect fresh blood for him, he cannot function for too long without it. After «Ciel» dismisses him for the day, Polaris, while weeping, confesses that he is terrified of losing his master again, for he is «a butler, even in death.»^[16]

Trivia

Граф Сиэль Фантомхайв (англ. Ciel Phantomhive, яп. シエル・ファントムハイヴ,Shieru Fantomuhaivu?) — главный протагонист манги и аниме Kuroshitsuji, заключивший сделку с демоном

~~~~~~~~~~~~♡~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

● Прозвища: Сторожевой пёс королевы,благородный дьявол, смайл.

● Является нынешним главой семьи Фантомхайв и владельцем корпорации Фантом. В узких кругах и преступном мире печально известен как «Сторожевой пес королевы».

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

● Внешность

Сиэль — довольно низкий тринадцатилетний подросток с голубовато-серыми волосами и глубокими голубыми глазами. По описанию его модельера, Нины Хопкинс, Сиэль имеет «идеальные пропорции тела»: у него тонкие кисти, хрупкие плечи и стройная талия.  Как правило, он одевается в костюмы, соответствующие его благородному статусу, а его гардероб достаточно обширен.

Сиэль практически всегда носит на правом глазу чёрную повязку на единой веревочке, изготовленную из газа; это необходимо, чтобы скрыть расположение печати контракта с Себастьяном Микаэлисом. Если же ему необходимо замаскироваться, он надевает белую повязку, напоминающую трансдермальный пластырь, которая крепиться двумя веревочками за его ухом.  Также, на левой стороне спины Сиэля находится клеймо, поставленное ему во время рабства в секте.

Обычно Сиэль носит два кольца: первое — серебряное кольцо с граненным бриллиантом темно-синего цвета, которое он носит на большом пальце левой руки. Это кольцо — единственная сохранившаяся семейная реликвия, которая передавалась из поколения в поколение к главам семьи Фантомхайв. Второе кольцо — золотой перстень с гербом Фантомхайв. Сиэль носит это кольцо на правой руке и использует для того, чтобы ставить восковые печати на документах. Этот перстень был передан ему Анджелиной Даллес после того, как он вернулся из секты. Она сказала ему, что это кольцо — единственное, что не было уничтожено в огне, в котором погибли его родители.

● Характер

Сиэль — высокомерный и одиозный тринадцатилетний мальчик, имеющий множество высокопоставленных должностей: глава дворянской семьи Фантомхайв, главный руководитель сети предприятий компании Фантом и «Сторожевой пёс королевы».

Будучи графом семьи Фантомхайв и известным дворянином, Сиэль достаточно строг, гордится собой и привык к роскошной жизни. Он отказывается находиться или проживать в бедной, неподобающей графу обстановке долгое время. Таким образом, граф с большими трудностями одевается и выполняет домашние дела, поскольку все это за него делает дворецкий. Он суров в своих приказах, особенно если дело касается его репутации, он требует от своего дворецкого, Себастьяна Микаэлиса, их выполнение без каких-либо оплошностей. Но, несмотря на это, Сиэль часто развлекает себя, оспаривая Себастьяна в области силы и умений. Он и Себастьян часто работают вместе, и порой кажется, что только дворецкий полностью осведомлен в его планах. Кроме того, Сиэль имеет относительно холодный взгляд на жизнь; цель его существования состоит в том, чтобы те, кто предал семью Фантомхайв, испытали те же унижения и боль, что и он. Во время его пребывания в качестве раба у сектантов, которые подвергали его чудовищной жестокости, на теле графа было поставлено клеймо, которое он от всех скрывает-не хочет, чтобы клеймо кто-либо увидел. Сиэль обладает непоколебимой решительностью; вместо того чтобы безнадежно грустить о прошлом, он выбирает смерть без сожалений и прилагает все усилия, чтобы совершить свою месть, несмотря на настойчивость своей тети, которая желала, чтобы Сиэль наслаждался счастливой жизнью. Сиэль часто сравнивает сложные ситуации с играми, такими как шахматы, считая себя королем на шахматной доске, который двигает свои пешки.

Будучи главным управляющим компанией Фантом, Сиэль хорошо проявляет деловую хватку и отлично справляется с делами компании. Его характер помогает ему успешно руководить компанией. Но, тем не менее, говорят, что его жадность «не имеет границ». Когда у его компании появляется новый продукт, он сразу же делает все, чтобы тот стал популярным.

Как Сторожевой пес королевы, Сиэль очень верен и предан королеве Виктории- стремится выполнить все ее приказы. Он утверждает, что не боится тайн и загадок, поскольку уверен, что может решить их все. Сиэль часто пользуется нечестными методами, такими как коррупция, если ему нужно собрать больше информации, чтобы закончить свою работу быстрее и эффективнее. Хотя сам он утверждает, что это просто хитрость с его стороны. Иногда для выполнения своих задач ему приходится маскироваться. Он отличный актер; готов воспользоваться всеми доступными средствами, и его не мучает совесть, когда ему приходится врать. Сиэль безжалостен к своим врагам и легко избавляется от них. Фактически, в некторой мере, он — социопат.

Кроме того, Сиэль проявляет различные признаки посттравматического стрессового расстройства — всё потому, что он был подвергнут жестокому обращению во время рабства в культе, когда ему было десять лет. Время от времени он вспоминает те страшные времена. Из-за своего ужасного прошлого он редко улыбается и утверждает, что забыл, как улыбаться, когда тебе весело. Но, тем не менее, Сиэль проявляет заботу о благополучии своих близких. Например, Сиэль выскочил перед медведем, чтобы спасти Элизабет Мидфорд, а также поклялся защищать ее от Странных кукол. Граф уделяет достаточное внимание потребностям своих слуг, это видно на примере того, когда он ходил по магазинам, чтобы купить им всё необходимое.

Обычно Сиэль демонстрирует серьезное поведение, хотя время от времени он может вести себя по-детски. Он чрезвычайно конкурентоспособный. Он не терпит ничью и проигрыш -желает быть победителем во всем. Себастьян отметил, что Сиэль — непревзойденный игрок, который думает, что ни за что не проиграет.

● Особые примечания

Несмотря на незначительную физическую силу, Сиэль хорошо стреляет. Он часто носит с собой пистолет, а во время сна прячет его под подушкой. Кроме того, Сиэль очень любит сладости. У него аллергия на кошек,  а также он унаследовал астму от своей матери.

Details Clubs Pictures Race: human Status: alive Age: 12-13 Birthday: December 14, 1875 Zodiac: Sagittarius Hair: dark navy blue Eyes: purple (right), blue (left) Height: 152 cm (5″) ~ 158 cm (5’2″) Contract sign: right eye Affiliations: Phantomhive Family, Faustian Contract, Funtom Company Occupation: Earl of Phantomhive, Watchdog of the Queen Known relatives: The Phantomhive family has, for years, been well known for making toys and sweets for small children. However, they are also the Queen’s watchdogs; the Phantomhive family keeps an eye on black market dealings in ways that Scotland Yard isn’t able to. Ciel Phantomhive is the heir to this legacy. Earl Ciel Phantomhive is the business-savvy, twelve-year-old (later thirteen-year-old) head of the English Phantomhive noble family, taking over after the deaths of his parents, Lord Vincent and Lady Rachel Phantomhive. He also runs Funtom Company, which manufactures toys and sweets, and later adds a food branch after winning a Royal Warrant. His right eye, which is usually covered with a black eyepatch, bears a pentacle sign of the Faustian contract which binds the demon Sebastian Michaelis to his will. He also has a brand burnt into his back from when he was sold as a slave after his house was burnt down. Ciel is engaged to his cousin, Elizabeth Midford. He sees her as an important friend and someone he needs to protect. His parents were killed and his mansion was set ablaze on his birthday, a reason why he does not like to celebrate the occasion. This tragedy causes him to not want to lose anyone important again. Despite his young age, he runs the family company and, as such, is quite busy much of the time though he still finds time to go out investigating dubious legal matters. Throughout the series Ciel’s height has been used as a tool of mockery due to his short stature. He grows by 6 cm in the second season, but still remains shorter than the other characters, thus continuing the comical relief. Sebastian enjoys teasing Ciel about this fact. In the manga, he does not grow taller. The young earl is far more composed and mature than would be expected. He remains distant from others, aloof, preferring to spend his time on work for the company. He is oftentimes selfish and not able to fully empathize with people. However, he does express occasional concern for the well-being of those close to him. As a side note, Ciel seems to enjoy drinking tea a lot (he is adept at distinguishing between them as well) and sweet desserts. He has asthma (inherited from his mother) and dislikes being around cats because they trigger his allergies.
