Ciel is loath to stay in a poor, relatively austere environment for long periods of time, considering such beneath his dignity and unfitting for an earl. Earl Ciel Phantomhive is the current head of the Phantomhive house, the notorious Queen's Watchdog,the owner of the Funtom Corporation, and an Aristocrat of Evil. He almost always wears a black eye-patch made of gauze with a single cord over his right eye to hide the location of his Faustian contract with Sebastian Michaelis.
