Black Butler
Name: Undertaker
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male
Theme Song: Daisougikyoku
Bio:
Undertaker has long grey hair with a few braids throughout, which is worn so as to hide his eyes. His eyes are the typical colour of Shinigami eyes, a bright yellow green. He has a noticeable scar across his face, neck, and left pinky finger (although how he acquired them is unknown) and has long black fingernails. He wears all black, including an incredibly long, black top hat, and he wears a long, grey scarf across his chest, with it knotted by his hips.
In the anime, William T. Spears acknowledged him openly as a former Shinigami. The manga, however, gives several subtle clues before revealing him as such, including as an image of one of his eyes depicting the double-iris found only on Shinigami characters, and a scene showing that he can see the Cinematic Records of dead people. The sotoba he uses as weapons are shown stopping a blow from Grell's death scythe, again suggesting a supernatural origin. In the anime when he had not retired from being a Shinigami, he wore glasses and had silver hair even when he was younger.
Undertaker seems to take joy in frightening others, as he seems to act creepy intentionally to provoke a reaction. He seems to enjoy both his job as a funeral director and as an informant to the Phantomhive family, as he has worked with them since before Vincent Phantomhive's time. He has great connections with the underworld, as victims of murder from the underworld often show up at his place of business. It is these connections that allow him to be a useful informant to the Phantomhives. However, he does not exchange his services for "the queen's money," as he seems to dislike Queen Victoria. Instead, those who want information from him are expected to amuse him in some way.
Known only by his profession, the Undertaker is a mysterious man whose scarred face is never fully visible beneath his long hair and crooked top hat. He occasionally provides information to Ciel. While he finds Ciel amusing and enjoys helping him out, he has nothing but disdain for the Queen. He tends to punctuate his words with sweeping gestures and creepy giggles and seems to spend a good deal of time inside of coffins.
He frequently refers to the deceased as his "guests." It is his hobby to remove organs from his "guests" for research. When living people come to visit him, he frequently asks if they came to see what it feels like to sleep in a coffin. He is shown snacking on bone-shaped biscuits and drinking tea from a beaker.
In the manga, he was shown in the Phantomhive Manor along with other nobles and acquaintances of the Earl in Baron Kelvin's flashback, meaning that he was a possible acquaintance of Vincent Phantomhive. In chapter 60 of the manga, it reveals that the Undertaker is a retired Shinigami and as Grell quotes, a "deserter".
In the anime, he is a retired, famous Shinigami, who was ranked management level and has judged souls as famous as Marie Antoinette and Robin Hood. William T. Spears said that even crying children would have offered their souls to him. He is highly respected by William, but he does not return the feelings, calling William "annoying and noisy."
As a Shinigami, he wore square, silver-framed glasses, and a black suit including a black trench coat. His death scythe looks similar to the stereotypical Grim Reaper's scythe, is silver, with a skull connecting the blade to the handle, which is wrapped in silver wires, like the bottom of the handle. As a Shinigami, he did not have the scars across his neck and face, but still had his ear piercings.
Presently, due to his status as a legendary Shinigami, he is still allowed in the Shinigami Library, but he frequently forgets to return Cinematic Records he borrows. It is mentioned that he can also use a Death Bookmark, a powerful tool able to stop the events of someone's Cinematic Records from continuing further when placed into the book.
