Sebastian Michaelis o Sebasuchan Mikaerisu is one of the main characters of the manga and anime Kuroshitsuji (Black butler). Michaelis is the butler and faithful servant of the protagonist, Ciel Phantomhive, who is a 13-year-old boy who is in charge of solving mysteries of all kinds according to the requests of Queen Victoria of England.

Although Sabastian also accompanies and helps solve the cases entrusted to Ciel, he is also obliged to serve and obey him until the boy obtains revenge and manages to find the people who destroyed the honor of his family..

It should be noted that this obligation on the part of Sebastian is due to a contract (represented by a symbol that he has in one of his hands), established with Ciel, so that he has to be with him regardless of the occasion. He is described as being flamboyant, refined and with a particular liking for cats..

Story

There is no precise data on the time of its appearance, but it is estimated that its place of origin is hell, from where it came in the form of a demon..

Demons feed on human souls to survive, and if they establish a "contract" with a human, they are able to possess the weapon of their counterpart..

Regarding age, Sebastian himself affirms that he is a hundred years old, which has allowed him to know and participate in important historical events.

So much so, that if his life is compared with that of Ciel, that of the latter would represent an instant in his entire existence.

Relationship with Ciel Phantomhive

It is important to note that the reasons for the relationship of both characters vary in both the manga and the anime:

  • As for the manga, the reason for the meeting of both characters is due to the invocation of Ciel, who wants to know who the murderers of his twin brother were, used as a sacrifice in a ritual. In this way, both have the symbol of the contract that they establish: Ciel in the right eye and Sebastian in one of his hands..
  • In the anime Ciel lost his parents is a massive fire. As he wishes to meet the true culprits, he establishes a contract with Sebastian to avenge his family in exchange for his soul..

Once the contract is established, Sebastian looks for a way to serve his new master in a suitable role for him, and that is when he becomes his butler and bodyguard in all the adventures and mysteries that are presented throughout the plot..

In exchange for service and obedience, Sebastian will receive Ciel's soul upon his death. As long as this does not happen, everything possible will be done to protect the boy from the dangers that lie in wait for him..
