** "Michaelis" is a clear allusion to the name Michael which is not only the name of the Archangel but can translate to "There is none like God / There is no one as powerful or famous as God."

** Additionally, the name Sebastian ultimately means "venerable". Strip him of his charms, and this particular Sebastian is ''not''.

** Additionally, the name Sebastian ultimately means 'venerable'. This particular Sebastian is... not that.

* WeaponOfChoice: Silverware, because he's a butler.

* TheBeautifulElite
%% Doesn't explain what the reaction is. * Berserk Button: There isn't much that can make him truly angry but he does indeed have his triggers and if you press one of them you ''will'' know.

* CheshireCatGrin: Occasionally.

* BerserkButton: There isn't much that can make him truly angry but he does indeed have his triggers and if you press one of them you ''will'' know.
** He can (begrudgingly) tolerate Ciel's bratty and spoiled attitude but he will ''not'' tolerate any chance of Ciel straying from his revenge and going against their contract. He made this frighteningly clear in the Emerald Witch arc.

-->'''Ciel''': "You aren't used to crowds?"
-->'''Snake''': "I look different from everyone else, and since I'm with you, people will laugh at you too. Says Dan."

* VerbalTic: Whenever he speaks, he ends the sentence with "..says (Snake's name)", even if they include personal pronouns referring to himself. This is taken even further in the anime, with him becoming a ManOfAThousandVoices due to each snake having a completely unique voice. Emily gets a teasing [[LarynxDissonance Falsetto]], while another is a GutturalGrowler.

* AnimalMotifs: A raven is associated with his demonic nature and has a strong affinity with cats.

* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: He's aware of the SuperStrength his body has as a result of the experiments he was subjected to, but he hasn't learnt to control it properly to do his job at the manor. When blowing on hot milk to cool it down, he accidentally breathes at ''[[UpToEleven fifty mph]]''.

** Exhibits the same reaction in Chapter 147 of the manga while wearing a thigh-length {{Qipao}}.

* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: She's extremely embarrassed when she's put in a mid-thigh length {{Qipao}} because bare legs were seen as very indecent.

* KnifeNut: His most frequent weapons are table knives that he uses to stab people.

* IntheBack: [[spoiler:He gets wounded from behind by Layla.]]

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/EmiriKatou (JP),Creator/MonicaRial (EN), Verania Ortiz (Latin American Spanish)

* AdultFear: [[spoiler: One day a few years ago Bard was out and about when Native Americans raided his farm, and when he rushes back to his burning house he finds both his wife and son murdered.]]

* {{Meganekko}}: She fits the character archetype of the bespectacled CuteClumsyGirl. But that's only when working as the Earl's maid; if you make her take off her glasses, she reverts to the ColdSniper she was before meeting the Earl and Sebastian.

* VillainousAromanticAsexual: Being a demon, Sebastian presumably lacks the emotions needed to feel real love and/or sexual desire. He still knows about those desires enough to seduce humans to get information out of them, although the unfeeling (and arguably dubious) nature of these encounters help to further drive his villainy home.

* Determinator: Baldroy's special quality. He's not an inhuman powerhouse like Finny or a preternatural marksman like Mey-Rin, he is a completely normal human in every respect except that he refuses to die. He was something of a legend in the US Army known as the Invincible Private Soldier because no matter the odds, or how bad the casualties were on the Army's side, he survived through nothing more than sheer force of will.

* VillainousAromanticAsexual: Being a demon, Sebastian presumably lacks the emotions needed to feel real love and/or sexual desire. He still knows about those desires enough to seduce humans to get information out of them, although the unfeeling (and arguably dubious) nature of these encounters help to further drive this trope home.

* RedBaron: In America, he was known as the 'Invincible Private Soldier' because he would move from battle to battle and, no matter the odds, just wouldn't seem to die.

* HandHidingSleeves: His first outfit has long sleeves that cover his hands.
