Plot
In Victorian-era London lives a thirteen-year-old earl named Ciel
Phantomhive, who acquired this position after the events of December 14,
1885 (Ciel's 10th birthday), when the Phantomhive manor was attacked by
unidentified perpetrators and was set ablaze. Ciel, amidst the chaos,
discovers his parents, Vincent and Rachel Phantomhive, to be dead along
with the family dog, Sebastian. The same night he is kidnapped by the
attackers and then sold into slavery, where he ends up in the hands of a
sadistic, demon-worshipping cult. Ciel then endures endless physical,
mental and sexual abuse at the hands of his captors. Ciel was also heat
branded with a mark referred to as the "mark of the beast". One night,
during a sacrificial ceremony to summon a demon, instead of forming a
contract with the cult members, the demon states that he was summoned by
Ciel, therefore he only agrees to form a contract with him, killing all
the cultist members in the process. To show a contract was formed, the
demon places a contract symbol referred to as the Faustian contract
symbol on Ciel's right eye, giving it a purple hue, and his iris and
pupil now showcase the symbol of the covenant. After the formation of
the contract, the demon reveals he will consume Ciel's soul as payment
for helping him achieve his goal; revenge on those who brought down the
House of Phantomhive. Afterwards Ciel names the demon Sebastian
Michaelis, after his deceased pet dog. The duo then return to society as
Ciel takes over his now late father's previous position as the queen's
watchdog, a very high-profile individual who is tasked with
investigating cases that Queen Victoria herself deems especially
important or threatening to England and the crown.
