Ciel Phantomhive's Twin

“I'm not going to scold you for your lies. Rather if anyone should accuse you of
lying... I would never forgive them. If anything, I want to applaud you... for doing
your best all by yourself these past three years. You don't have to lie anymore.
Because, you see... I've come back.”

~ True Ciel to his brother.

Ciel Phantomhive, also better known as "Ciel Phantomhive's Elder Twin" to


differentiate him from his brother, is one of the two main antagonists (alongside
the Undertaker) of the Black Butler manga/anime franchise.

He is the true head of the Phantomhive house and Elizabeth Midford's original
fiancé. His brother, the series protagonist, took on his identity after Ciel was
ritually sacrificed to summon Sebastian Michaelis. The Twin was eventually
resurrected as a perfected Bizarre Doll by The Undertaker and reclaimed his
birthright.

Biography
Ciel and his brother were born to Vincent and Rachel Phantomhive on December
14, 1875, being a few minutes older than his brother. They were close despite
their differences in personality and his younger brother's asthma.

As the heir to the Phantomhive family, he was trained by his aunt Franchise into
fencing. He and his brother were kidnapped by a cult and the elder Ciel was
sacrificed to summon Sebastian. The younger brother named himself Ciel and
decided to burn the place and corpses so no one would know that Ciel's brother
would impersonate him however Undertaker managed to save his corpse and
sometime later would eventually revive him.

In the Blue Cult arc, the true Ciel returned and the current Ciel and Sebastion
were shocked to see him alive again. Although the servants have their doubts
Sebastion eventually confirmed that the other Ciel was indeed the true Ciel and
that the Ciel they have been following was his twin brother. Tanaka knew and
was planning on taking it to the grave but now would be pointless. The real Ciel
was not angry at his brother for lying to everyone and tells him that he no longer
needs to since he is back.
