Queen Victoria (Spoilers)
Queen Victoria
Voiced by: Sayuri Sadaoka (JP, old), Ayako Kawasumi (JP, young), Bridgett Dahl (EN, old), Alexis Tipton (EN, young) Foreign VAs
The anime version of Queen Victoria who plays a drastically different, more villainous role than her manga counterpart.
For tropes of her manga counterpart, see her folder here.
- Adaptational Attractiveness: Thanks to Ash, she has the body of a cute young girl, as opposed to the elderly woman from the manga.
- Adaptational Villainy: In the first anime series, Queen Victoria was the one responsible for the Phantomhives' deaths, in conjunction with Ash, and was attempting to start a world war.
- Big Bad: In the anime, she's revealed to be the main villain, being behind Ciel's parents' deaths.
- Body Horror: She has bits of her husband Albert's flesh merged with hers, and it's still rotting.
- El Cid Ploy: At the end of the first anime season, the real Queen Victoria is dead, killed by Ash, but Arthur arranges for a double to stand in for her, with only a few people knowing the truth.
- Evil Wears Black: She always dresses in black and is revealed to be evil, as well as the murderer of Ciel's parents.
- Expecting Someone Taller: When Queen Victoria makes her first public appearance for quite a while during the Curry Competition, several people in the audience comment that she seems particularly frail, not knowing about the Fountain of Youth situation because she keeps her veil down.
- Fountain of Youth: She can turn into a young girl thanks to Ash.
- Hide Your Otherness: She keeps her veil over her face in public, as people would get suspicious if they saw their elderly queen with the face of a young girl.
- Hime Cut: Her young body appears as a girl with blunt bangs, bra strap length sidelocks, and waist length straight hair, which is befitting for a queen.
- Historical Villain Upgrade: Queen Victoria was turned into the real Big Bad of the first anime series.
The Angel (Spoilers)
The true form of Angela/Ash. An insane angel kicked out of Heaven by God that seeks to regain the Almighty’s favor by purging humanity of anything it sees as sinful.
- Angelic Beauty: Looks very beautiful in both forms. Subverted horribly once you learn of their perverse, hypocritical obsession with cleansing.
- Big Bad: The angel is behind many of the problems Ciel has to deal with in England and was also responsible for carrying out the murder of his parents, making it the reason he signed a contract with Sebastian for vengeance.
- Body Horror: Of unnatural deconstruction of Fusion Dance type, as they tend to combine their prized targets into one body.
- Bondage Is Bad: Proves itself a hypocrite by lustfully whipping Sebasitan while claiming his demonic nature makes him impure.
- Fallen Angel: Sebastian accuses them of this, and judging from their perverse and demented nature, he may be right.
- Faux Affably Evil: Angela acts like a kind, yet abused woman, though deep inside she's very dominating and perverse. Ash acts like a Reasonable Authority Figure driven home by Chuck Huber's voice acting driving it home, but deep down is a Blood Knight pyromaniac.
- Holier Than Thou: Views humans as unclean and needing to cleanse, despite being very lustful and psychotic.
- Knight Templar: Destroying London to erase its filth, despite being a very lustful and horrible person.
- Light Is Not Good: Despite being an angel, they are very perverse, going after supernatural dogs for some pleasure, sadistic, has a warped idea of injecting Body Horror into lovers by meshing them into abominations, using the power of sin to power them and disposes of anything that has no purpose.
- The Man Behind the Man: Aside from Grell's little mishap and a few minor enemies, everything can traced back to them in the anime.
- Madness Mantra: During the Villainous Breakdown."Filthy. Unclean. Barren! USELESS! IMPOTENT! STAGNANT! ILLEGAL! FILTH FILTH FILTH FILTH FILARGARBHARGARHGBARGHAAAHH—"
- Moral Myopia: Their goal is to cleanse London to become pure for the new age because they view themself as the purest being in the country. Let's count the ways how bigoted they are: Angela being a dominatrix going after everything that can move including a transforming dog, fusing Ciel's parent's together as an abomination they'd later use to try and murder him, toss their loyal doll minion like trash and faithfully turning little girls into dolls, trying kill the cultists who had been loyal to them once they served their purpose, manipulating the queen into planning a world war, only to leave her to die and sacrificing the population of London to create a barrier bridge against demons and empowering themselves.
- Our Angels Are Different: For one thing, they appear to be male and female as opposed to genderless, and another, they're monstrous and bigoted in their actions. Or, at least this one is the latter. They were kicked out of Heaven by God, so they're probably not the finest example of an angel.
- Pure Is Not Good: Their obsession with "purity" inspires most of their villainous actions.
- The Reveal: Is responsible for the Phantomhive destruction in the anime. Also, the fact that they are an angel.
- Retconjuration: Comes with being an angel.
- Serial Killer: Even without the whole angel thing, the way they killed Ciel's parents is very much in this trope.
- Sex Shifter: Uses a male and female identity for their work, though angels are supposed to be genderless in the first place.
- Take Our Word for It: Despite revealing everything that they're a corrupted angel that can switch genders and their overall scheme, it's never shown how they fuse the bodies of Ciel's parents and the Queen and her husband; but it's implied to be very horrific.
- Villainous Breakdown: By the end of the final battle, the Angel's sanity has gone completely down the toilet and as Sebastian tears them apart, they're reduced to shouting about how "filthy" he is before screaming gibberish in agony and hate.
Angela Blanc
Angela Blanc
Voiced by: Akiko Yajima (JP), Colleen Clinkenbeard (EN) Foreign VAs
The female form of the fallen angel.
- Bestiality Is Depraved: Angela fornicated with Pluto, a shape-shifting dog, hinting she's less innocent than she at first seems. The Knight Templar attitude she possesses, along with this, show off her vastly unstable mentality.
- Mark of the Supernatural: The unnatural purple color of her eyes becomes relevant with the revelation that she's an angel.
- Meaningful Name: Blanc is French for white. Nice name for someone obsessed by purity and the fact that Angela is an angel.
- Meido: Pretends to be this.
- Mystical White Hair: Is more of both, considering how transcendent or, in their case, inhuman they are.
- Whip of Dominance: Angela tortures Sebastian by giving A Taste of the Lash all while wearing a Dominatrix outfit and clearly taking sadistic pleasure in whipping him. During the scene, she constantly switches from cruelly whipping him to being flirtatious and trying to convince him to submit and betray his master.
- Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Pretends to be a submissive woman to get Ciel and Sebastian's attention, but it's to learn about them.
Ash Landers
Ash Landers
Voiced by: Satoshi Hino (JP), Chuck Huber (EN) Foreign VAs
The male form of the fallen angel.
- Battle Butler: To the queen though they toss her aside once she starts falling apart.
- Blood Knight: He finds fighting to be exciting, becoming almost maniacal about it, and easily becomes angry when any attention is diverted away from him during a fight.
- Meaningful Name: Ash is obsessed with burning things.
- Reading Tea Leaves: He seems to know some level of tasseomancy, remarking good fortune with the stalks of his tea leaves are sticking upward.
Pluto
Pluto
Voiced by: Takafumi Yamaguchi (JP), Z. Charles Bolton (EN) Foreign VAs
Human form
Click here to see to see his demon hound form.
A demonic hound who somehow wandered into the human world, encountered by Ciel and company during a visit to the city of Houndmoor. Subsequently captured and brought back to the Phantomhive estate as a new pet.
- Big Friendly Dog: In a manner of speaking.
- The Brute: Pluto is this To Ash/Angela.
- Defeat Means Friendship: After Sebastian kicks him around, he becomes a docile and obedient pet to the Phantomhive estate.
- Dogs Are Dumb: In a meta sort of way; while he seems bright for a dog, he has only a dog's mind despite the fact he is a demon who can shapeshift into human form.
- Heel–Face Turn: Pluto left the side of Ash/Angela and joined the Phantomhive family out of love towards Sebastian.
- Hell Hound: Seems like the Hunter type.
- Human Shifting: His natural form is a giant, silver-white-furred wolfdog, but he can assume a human's body. Unfortunately, his mind remains that of an ordinary dog.
- Innocent Fanservice Guy: Because he only has a dog's mind, he doesn't understand that being human means he should wear clothes.
- Killed Off for Real: Near the end of the first season Pluto was killed by Finny, Mey-Rin, and Baldroy so as to stop him from burning all of London down. Also a literal case of Shoot the Dog.
- Naked on Arrival: After changing to human form.
- Obfuscating Stupidity: Double subverted, when the Phantomhives go to put on a play, he's sitting down like a human and drinking tea, then immediately goes back to his usual dog like self.
- Playing with Fire: Especially when commanded by Ash/Angela.
- Shout-Out: Take out the demon-change-to-human part, and you get the other dog named Pluto.
- They Have the Scent!: Used to track Lizzie when Drocell had her.
Drocell Keinz
Drocell Keinz
Voiced by: Anri Katsu (JP), Sonny Strait (EN) Foreign VAs
"Therefore, I reason for a superior present to be given to a very dear person, the most suitable thing would be your very self."
An enigmatic servant to his mysterious master. Drocell runs a humble shop to the public eye, but is actually a kidnapper who targets those who end up in possession of a specific jewel ring.
- Abnormal Limb Rotation Range: His head turns at least 180 degrees. He also takes a Twisted-Knee Collapse up to eleven. Justified because he's a puppet.
- Creepy Monotone: Especially in the dub, Drocell speaks without much inflection. This is another hint that he is not really human.
- Dead All Along / Was Once a Man: Died years prior to the events of the anime and was brought back as a doll with, presumably, a "temporary soul". It is however not made clear what exactly that is or how it works.
- Evil Redhead: A kind of orange/red, and a kidnapper.
- Facial Markings: Drocell has a Fleur-de-lis painted or tattooed under his right eye.
- Guy Liner: As seen in the picture, Drocell wears some heavy makeup to go with his outfit.
- Inconsistent Spelling: Has it worse than any other character. The "official" spelling seems to be Drossel
◊ Kainz, but he's been spelled Drocell, Drozell, Keinz, Cainz, Caines... - Ironic Nursery Tune: He changes the lyrics in My Fair Lady, more commonly known as London Bridge Is Falling Down, to whatever he plans to use in the creation of their doll. It also controls the dolls he's already made.
- This is actually based on a longer version of the song, in which the bridge is rebuilt with the different materials he uses for dolls, but they all fail to stay up somehow.
- Marionette Motion: Downplayed, but his movements still are a bit stiff at times.
- Nothing Is Scarier: It's never fully shown or explained exactly how he turns the kidnapped girls into dolls.
- No Sense of Personal Space: He gets rather close to Lizzy, whom he only just met.
- Organ Grinder: Which plays My Fair Lady, sometimes it plays by itself.
- People Puppets: If he doesn't just turn you into a puppet, he can still move you around like one. He used this on Lizzy to try and kill Ciel with a battle ax.
- Perverse Puppet: He makes dolls based on real people and uses them to fight. He also happens to be one himself.
- Puppet Permutation: One of his specialties.
- Razor Floss: Appropriately enough for a puppeteer. Deals with someone with this.
- Reflectionless Useless Eyes: His dolls have them.
- Stalker With/Without a Crush: Drocell is adamant to capture Ciel and convert him into one of his puppets "made from silver and gold."
- Undying Loyalty: Drocell's devotion to his master is absolute, even when Sebastian splits his head open and spills the straw stuffing. He still gets up to report on the intruders and his own failure before collapsing dead.Sebastian: "Perhaps I judged him too hastily. He may well be one hell of a butler."
- Verbal Tic: Some variant of "I reasoned" or "I thought to myself".
- We Hardly Knew Ye: He appears in maybe two and a half episodes out of 24.
- Wicked Toymaker: In life he was the puppeteer for a rich family, but Came Back Wrong into a creepy puppeteer determined to turn those who had contact with the Shard of Hope into dolls.
Matilda Simmons
Matilda Simmons
Voiced by: Ao Takahashi (JP), Leah Clark (EN) Foreign VAs
A nun in a cult that resides in an abandoned Catholic monastery in Preston, Lancashire.
- Nun Too Holy: Sebastian sets out to seduce her and make her "impure" in order to extract more information from her.
From Black Butler II
Alois Trancy
Alois Trancy/Jim Macken
Voiced by: Nana Mizuki (JP), Luci Christian (EN) Foreign VAs
"Look at you! You're so filthy! You look just like a drowned rat!"
- Agent Peacock: Dangerous and camp.
- Alas, Poor Villain: Despite all the cruel acts committed by Alois, he showed himself to truly be in love with Claude. It make it all the more painful to watch as Claude murders Alois right as the young boy is confessing his love.
- Animal Motifs: Apparently the Trancy clan has been long associated with spiders, and Alois himself has had quite a few
Faux Symbolism scenes with spiders and webs. His contract mark with Hannah even looks a bit like a spiderweb. - Aristocrats Are Evil: Except he's not really the former Earl's son. The Earl of Trancy's real son disappeared years ago. Alois is a former sex slave who became the Earl's favourite, enough to be made him his successor.
- Attractive Bent-Gender: When he wore his maid's clothes.
- Badass Adorable: He has some decent chops with a sword and he was shrewd enough to know Ciel would go for a surprise blow at the start of their duel.
- Bad Boss: To his servants. Regularly berates, or in Hannah's case, physically assaults them.
- Bathe Her and Bring Her to Me: He was forced to wear nothing but a red kimono when he expertly seduced Lord Trancy.
- Beautiful Tears: The triplets comment that they find Alois's crying to be cute.
- Big Bad Wannabe: He's the head of his manor and commanding his servants to capture Ciel for him but it's clear from the get go that Claude is the real threat and he's only using Alois for his own goals, killing him when he's no longer needed.
- Big Fancy House: Even Ciel's own mansion can't compete.
- Bodyguard Crush: Inverted, he has a (quite obvious) one on Claude.
- Break the Cutie: In regards to his past, if any kid has had it worse than Ciel its Alois.
- Cannot Spit It Out: By this point it is pretty obvious he is in love with Claude. However, even right before Claude kills him, he still never directly says that he loves him.
- Changeling Fantasy: Claims that this is what happened to him as an infant, and the priest in the first episode even mentions that he claims to have been abducted by actual fairies.
- The Chessmaster: Tries to be this but Claude far outclasses him.
- Creepy Child: Much more so than Ciel, it gets even more chilling and also heartbreaking when you find out why he's like this.
- Creepy Crossdresser: Did this at one point to taunt Ciel.
- Dark and Troubled Past: His whole village was killed, including the only person he cared about at the time (Luka, who supposedly was his brother, although it is unknown whether they were blood-related or not). He was then taken and used as a sex slave for the head of the Trancy manor. Then he met Claude.
- Deal with the Devil: With Claude. It doesn't end well for Alois.
- And again with Hannah.
- Decoy Protagonist: The first episode of season 2 is set up so you might think he's taken over Ciel's role, including a brand new opening sequence with him at the center. It's not until the very end of the episode that this is proved wrong.
- Depraved Homosexual: Rape and Switch, possibly.
- Desperately Craves Affection: Unfortunately for him none of the servants he has are really equipped to provide it. Until Hannah reveals she is.
- Doomed Hometown: At some point, everyone in the town where he and Luka were street urchins in died.
- Dying Alone: Even more of a Tear Jerker due to the fact that it was Claude, the only person he seemed to care about, who killed him.
- Et Tu, Brute?: At the end of episode 8, Claude offs him before their contract was even complete. Then again, the fact that he didn't save him from getting stabbed by Ciel earlier could also fit this trope.
- Evil Brit: Is British, specifically an Englishman.
- Eye Scream: Performed on an undeserving maid. With his fingers. To impress Claude, apparently.
- Fille Fatale: A Rare Male Example. Despite his young age, he already seems very aware of how to flirt and use sex appeal to get what he wants, has No Sense of Personal Space, and frequently wears revealing shorts. He's practically a textbook example of how young victims of sexual abuse often show oversexed behavior, since in his backstory, he and other young boys were used as Sex Slaves to the previous Early Trancy.
- Foil: Of Ciel, along with Shadow Archetype. Lampshaded at one point when it's pointed out that Alois' story (disappears mysteriously and then reappears with an equally mysterious black butler) seems awfully familiar.
- Forgiveness: It's implied that he was able to forgive Claude after the latter killed him, as Hannah mentioned that she, Claude, Alois and Luka can all be together in nirvana.
- Freudian Excuse: He is really an orphan named Jim Macken. In his childhood, he and his younger brother Luka got by as thieves. After all the people in his village mysteriously died (including Luka), he was sent to the Trancy household to be a Sex Slave. This is where he formed a contract with Claude, and inherited the Trancy household fortune by using seducing old man Trancy until he had Claude off him and declaring himself heir.
- Happiness in Slavery: As a result of being sexually abused by Lord Trancy, he actually starts enjoying being a sex slave. This is also what causes him to be sexually-driven when he becomes the household's new Earl.
- Hates Being Alone: As a result of losing his brother Luka, Alois hates being alone and will do anything to get people's attention, even using sexual advances, Cold-Blooded Torture, and purposefully making a mess of things.
- I Just Want to Be Loved: Ultimately this is all he really wants, to be genuinely loved by someone. He finally gets his wish in the end, from Hannah no less.
- I Owe You My Life: Subverted. He would owe Claude his life, in a very literal sense (as with Ciel towards Sebastian), except that Claude killed him in episode 8 after finding Ciel's soul tastier. However, he came back to life in episode 10, but it is unclear if he still has a contract with Claude, and therefore it is also unclear if he still owes him his life.
- Icy Blue Eyes: Oh so very much. He is very sadistic, and has icy blue eyes. Lord Trancy compared his eyes to dirty rain water upon their first encounter.
- In Touch with His Feminine Side: One of Alois' defining characteristics is his feminine mannerisms. His signature outfit also consists of a reddish pink coat, and is often seen wearing high-heeled boots. He is even shown crossdressing in one part of the show, dressing as a maid.
- Leitmotif: The Slightly Chipped Full Moon and its variations.
- Lonely Rich Kid: Though he got what he wanted in the form of the Trancy estate he's incredibly lonely, and most of his acting out is a symptom of this.
- Love Makes You Evil: Poking out Hannah's eye...to impress Claude, apparently.
- Man of Wealth and Taste: Given that he grew up poor and powerless among other things, he relishes every ounce of his newfound wealth and noble status.
- Naked on Arrival: His very first scene is him naked having just gotten out of bed with Earl Trancy.
- No Sense of Personal Space: The very first time he and Ciel are in the same room together he gets way too close and starts licking him.
- Nouveau Riche: He flaunts his money and doesn't really seem to care, as seen by the first episode when he tosses bills and bills of money down to his "uncle".
- Pay Evil unto Evil: What he did to Earl Trancy. While you can definitely argue that the guy needed killing, after that it's just downhill for Alois.
- Please, Don't Leave Me: Performed on Claude. Claude still killed him.
- Promiscuity After Rape: His disturbingly sexual behavior despite being so young is a result of being used as a Sex Slave by the previous Earl Trancy.
- Rags to Riches: Started off as an orphan, but inherited the Trancy estate and became an Earl. Of course, the means by which he got it in terms of both what was done to him and what he did are hardly an inspiring story.
- Rape as Backstory: His backstory reveals he used to be a Sex Slave to the late Earl Trancy. It's one of the things that led him to make a contract with Claude in the first place.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red Oni to Claude's Blue Oni. Can also be considered the Red Oni to Ciel's Blue Oni.
- Royal Brat: He's not royalty but he's got the bratty attitude, Claude even calls him Your Highness.
- Together in Death: He, Luka, Claude, and Hannah. Somehow.
- Troubled, but Cute: Due to his Dark and Troubled Past, and he's learned how to use his cuteness as tool to his advantage.
- Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: To say the frickin' least. Barely minutes into the first episode he gouges Hannah's eye out. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
- Used to Be a Sweet Kid: He was this before his Start of Darkness. Unlike Ciel though, this part of Alois never completely went away.
- Villainous Fashion Sense: At the costume ball he holds, wears a costume with a devil wing motif on it.
- Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: He's an Ax-Crazy Creepy Child with a Dark and Troubled Past who only wants someone to love him in place of his dead brother (and likes to gouge out his servants' eyes).
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Once Claude finds a more hateful soul for his taste, namely Ciel's, he murder Alois to use his soul as a tool to get it.
Claude Faustus
Claude Faustus
Voiced by: Takahiro Sakurai (JP), Jason Douglas (EN) Foreign VAs
"Passion to calm, hesitation to resolve, love to gravestones. That is the Trancy butler."
- The Ace: Like Sebastian, Claude is as capable of doing almost everything, from cooking, cleaning, decorating, and, of course, fighting. The only difference is that lacks both Sebastian's signature charisma and loyalty to his master.
- Badass in a Nice Suit: As is tradition for demons in this series.
- Battle Butler: Is the Sebastian to Alois' Ciel.
- Big Bad: Sets off the second season by taking advantage of Sebastian's wounds and trying to steal Ciel's soul.
- Bodyguard Betrayal: In episode 8, Claude betrays Alois.
- Cool Sword: The Demon Sword Laevatein, which he stores inside Hannah.
- Decoy Protagonist: Based on certain promotional content alone, one could incorrectly assume that Claude is the new Battle Butler protagonist of Black Butler II. But you know what they say about assuming.
- Dragon-in-Chief: He's much more powerful and intelligent than Alois Trancy and only uses him to get to his own goal, Ciel's soul.
- Evil Brit: If a non-human can count as one.
- Evil Counterpart: To Sebastian of all people. Both men are demons, but Claude's attitude toward his Master couldn't be any different from Sebastian's relationship with Ciel. Claude's contract with Alois is based on one-sided affection, with Alois clearly pining for him whereas Claude treats their contract as a mere business transaction. He develops an interest in Ciel after tasting his blood and realizing how "pure" his soul is and is desperate to claim it, even going so far as to kill Alois and break the contract before its completion. This is in stark contrast to Sebastian, who has some semblance of care for his contractor and will fulfill the contract to its completion despite literally starving himself so he can relish the "exquisite taste" of Ciel's soul.
- Fangs Are Evil: Like Sebastian, in his human form he has notably sharp fangs.
- Four Eyes, Zero Soul: Poor vision and a lack of empathy, even towards his own master.
- Gratuitous English: "Yes, your highness."
- Hellish Pupils: Occasionally.
- It's All About Me: To put it simply, you're either Claude's next meal, a tool get his next meal, or an obstacle in the way of his next meal. Otherwise you're just dead.
- Man of Wealth and Taste: Much like Sebastian, only much more evil.
- Mind Rape: After he killed Alois, Claude abducted Ciel, drugged him, practically drowned him, and overall completely screwed with his mental state to the point of semi-hypnotism to accomplish his goals.
- Meaningful Name: Claude Faustus.
- The Oathbreaker: Sorry, Alois.
- Razor Floss: His spider webs act as this.
- Real Men Wear Pink: He's got a real talent for crocheting, as episode 9 of the season 2 shows. Though that may be playing with the fact that he's a spider demon.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Blue Oni to Alois's Red Oni.
- Stoic Spectacles: He's incredibly stoic, and is regularly seen with his glasses.
- Supernatural Gold Eyes: His eyes are yellow/gold and he's a demon disguised as a butler.
- The Unsmile: He smiles at the beginning of episode 8, shocking and disgusting Alois.
- Undying Loyalty: To Alois. At least it seems like that at first but it soon becomes clear that Claude only sees him as a meal and once he becomes obsessed with Ciel's soul, he kills Alois and uses his soul as a tool to get it.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Towards Alois: He wanted Alois' soul at first but when he got a taste of Ciel's soul and realized Alois' soul wasn't hateful enough for his taste, Clause murders his master.
Hannah Annafellows
Hannah Annafellows
Voiced by: Aya Hirano (JP), Caitlin Glass (EN) Foreign VAs
- Affably Evil: Despite working for Claude, who has an unhealthy and violent obsession with Ciel, she's nothing short of polite. She's also a demon and is utterly loyal to her more recent contractors.
- Ambiguously Brown: Has dark skin and light blue hair. Probably doesn't have a specifc race, since she's not actually human.
- Anti-Villain: Type II.
- Barehanded Blade Block: Against a freaking chainsaw, no less. Justified by the fact that she's a demon.
- Because You Were Nice to Me: One of the two reasons she becomes attached to Luka. Hannah notes that he was genuinely excited that she appeared to him to grant his wish and that, upon his death, he was the first soul to have ever expressed gratitude towards her for granting their wish. She was mournful in his death.
- Benevolent Boss: It is revealed in "Crossroads Butler" that the demon triplets actually serve Hannah when we see them groom her and assist her burning down Luka's and Alois' village in a flashback. In "Spider's Intentions", she is shown treating them gently, placing flowers in their hair, with the triplets seeming quite fond of her, preferring Hannah over Claude.
- Body Horror: In episode 10, she opens her mouth disgustingly wide to give Ciel a look at Alois' eye that she stole, which stares back at him from seemingly an abyss inside her.
- Butt-Monkey: In her very first scene, Alois gets annoyed with her and gouges her eye out. This pretty well sets the tone for her subsequent scenes.
- Clothing Damage: A lot. Usually at Alois' hands.
- Expy: Of Angela. Both have white hair, look vulnerable at first, are actually stronger than they look and very manipulative and have crossed the limits of their own species (one is a Fallen Angel and the other is a demon with feelings).
- Eye Scream: The unfortunate(?) victim.
- Then she redirects it by swallowing Alois's eye and keeping it in the back of her mouth so his soul can use it to take over Ciel's body.
- Girl with Psycho Weapon: Even worse than the giant gun she keeps hidden somewhere is the massive sword she keeps literally inside her.
- Go-Go Enslavement: Several of the outfits Alois has her wear.
- Green-Eyed Monster: Shown to be jealous of Alois' love for Claude in "Spider's Intention". This is understandable considering that she has Alois' best interests at heart while Claude does not.
- Hidden Depths: She turns out to much more important than she seemed at first.
- Humans Are Special: She originally saw humans as nothing but food like any other demon. Then she met Luka...
- Hyperspace Arsenal : She IS one.
- If You Ever Do Anything To Hurt Him: Said to Claude in "Spider's Intention" in regards to Alois since she's aware of Claude's more... devious nature. She doesn't get to finish her line though since Claude's already pinned her to a tree and starts to assault and ridicule her.
- Inconsistent Spelling: Depending on the subs, it's either "Anafeloz" or "Annafellows".
- Love Martyr: For Alois. No matter how much he hurts her, she wouldn't think of leaving him, since she absorbed Luka's love for him. And he finally reciprocates her love when he finds out that she's always loved him and wanted nothing more but the best for him.
- Mama Bear: To Alois, despite the way he treats her. She has her reasons.
- Ms. Fanservice: Although to some, with the amount of eroguro that she becomes involved with, it could be Fan Disservice.
- Mystical White Hair: Her hair is silver, which hints her true identity as a demon.
- Ninja Maid: Can be a decent fighter when prompted.
- Not-So-Harmless Villain: While we were all busy feeling sorry for the poor girl with one eye, she went and Out-Gambitted everybody in the show by having Alois' soul take over Ciel's body. Then she took both Ciel's and Alois's souls, forcing Sebastian and Claude into a duel over the former's, before making Ciel into a demon so that they both lose anyway.
- The Reveal: Hannah was the one who made the contract that took Luka's soul, and she came to serve him alongside Claude because she and Luka both wanted to be near Alois.
- Tears from a Stone: Demons aren't exactly emotionless but you do not make one cry easily.
- Trouser Space: Where she seems to store a... rather large machine gun.
- Undying Loyalty: To Alois/Jim Macken and his younger brother Luka.
- Your Soul Is Mine!: In the end, SHE ends up with Luka AND Alois' souls. They're pleased.
Thompson, Timber, and Canturbury

"None of your business."
"My cowlick spins to the left."
"My cowlick spins to the right."
"My cowlick spins to the left."
"My cowlick spins to the right."
- Beware the Quiet Ones: They can kick quite a bit of ass when prompted.
- Buxom Beauty Standard: In their opinions, larger breasts are better.
- Cloudcuckoolander: To different degrees, when Claude presented the staff with Alois's soul trapped in a ring, Timber wonders if he's going to use it to propose to someone.
- Creepy Twins: Creepy Triplets, rather. In the first opening sequence, their heads jerk unnaturally towards the camera.
- Cute Mute: Until the OVA, at least.
- He Who Must Not Be Heard: Until the OVA, when Alois demands that they speak up.
- Identical Twin ID Tag: Triplet ID Tag, in this case; their ways of parting their hair are the easiest way to tell them apart. Thompson's falls in a point to the center, Cantebury's is swept to the left, and Timber's is swept to the right.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Sebastian impales all three through the forehead with their combined spear/javelin weapon. They go about their business impaled together until removing it offscreen.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: And glow on occasion.
- Same-Sex Triplets: They're triplet brothers who are all identical.
- Theme Twin Naming: They're all named after British writers.
Luka Macken (Spoilers)
Luka Macken
Voiced by: Marina Inoue (JP), Lindsay Seidel (EN) Foreign VAs
The younger brother of Jim Macken AKA Alois Trancy.
- Ambiguous Innocence: Between dead parents and needing to steal to live, Luka apparently never realized that, well... summoning demons to kill people is wrong. Also, in Spider's Intention, there was a moment where Luka was showing Hannah the swing where he and his brother regularly swung from, and telling her how amazing he is at it. While telling her, he sees two boys, presumably the two who harassed him in the main season play on the swingset prompting him to ask if they'll be annihilated along with the village later on.
- Big Brother Worship: He adores his brother Jim.
- Big Brother Instinct: Or in his case, Little Brother Instinct. He summons Hannah for the sake of Jim. This also serves as the second reason Hannah becomes attached to Luka.
- Cheerful Child: He's a cheerful little boy whose only wish is for the happiness of his older brother.
- Chekhov's Gunman: Shows up for a "blink and you'll miss it" moment in episode 1 during Alois' flashback. It's not until much later that we find out the story behind him.
- Children Are Innocent: One of the series' few emotionally innocent children.
- Creepy Child: Being rather pleased that your Deal with the Devil killed a village is weird.
- Deal with the Devil: He was the one who summoned Hannah.
- Meaningful Echo: "Yes, your highness."
- Morality Pet: Hannah was a typical, uncaring demon until she was summoned by Luka. His naivety and selfless reason for selling his soul shock her immensely, to the point where she became Alois's servant just to be close to him for Luka's soul.
- Not-So-Harmless Villain: He remains an innocent child until the end, but that causes one to wonder just how he contracted Hannah.
Lord Trancy
Lord Trancy
Voiced by: Shinya Fukumatsu (JP), Charlie Campbell (EN) Foreign VAs
The previous head of the Trancy household.
- Animal Motif: Just like with Alois, Lord Trancy has been compared to a spider, given how he essentially captures vulnerable children to fulfil a sexual appetite in a sort of metaphorical web.Gatekeeper: Unfortunate prey caught in his nest...He consumes their noble purity to the last drop.
- Dirty Old Man: Trancy is an elderly fellow who abducts children so that he can have sex with them against their will. Additionally, he refers to them as if they were his personal sex toys, calling them "dolls", "broken", or "fragile".
- Fat Bastard: He's fat, but he's not very pleasant to be around, especially if you're a kid.
- Gonk: Even for an elderly man, Trancy's not quite the looker. He is overweight, has small icy blue eyes, long spindly hair, a square chin, moles covering his body, and a large mouth with only two protruding teeth.
- Greater-Scope Villain: He is this for Black Butler II. One of the children he so happens to abduct was Jim Macken, who would later take his place as Alois Trancy after his death. His actions towards Macken was also what got him into the sadistic, sexually-driven Earl that he is today.
- Karma Houdini: As if his crimes of mass child trafiking weren't bad enough, he gets away with all of it scott free, and only dies of natural causes.
- Kick the Dog: Right from the start, when he is fully introduced, the first thing that he does when he sees Alois' icy blue eyes is beat him with his cane, simply because they remind him of filthy sewer water.
- Pedo Hunt: Lord Trancy is the overarching antagonist of Black Butler II, and he is also a pedophile.
- Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Lord Trancy abducts kids from across the country so that he can imprison them and then rape them.
