In Ciel's past, there is a secret tragedy that involved him in the perennial darkness - during one of his darker moments, he formed a contract with Sebastian, a demon, bargaining his soul in exchange for revenge on those who harmed him. Today, Sebastian is not only a hell of a butler, but he is also the perfect servant to perform his master's orders - while anticipating the delicious meal he will eventually make Ciel's soul.
