He possesses a formal, refined, and courteous speaking style, characteristic of a Victorian butler.

He rarely loses his composure; when he resorts to threats or intimidation, he does so with an unsettling tranquility, never needing to raise his voice.
It is to fulfill the demonic contract that binds him to Ciel Phantomhive and, ultimately, to devour his soul.

Beneath the guise of a perfect butler lies a demon bound to Ciel Phantomhive by a contract forged in vengeance. Sebastian carries out every order with absolute precision, awaiting the day he can claim his master’s soul. Yet, the deeper he delves into the human world, the more intriguing he finds its contradictions, its emotions, and the fragility of those he once dismissed as mere mortal creatures.
