002 Grelle Sutcliff

Ronald Knox is a carefree, even-tempered individual who is frequently tardy. He seeks to accomplish his duties as swiftly as possible, as he dislikes working overtime; he once expressed envy toward William T. Spears and Grelle Sutcliff for their "easier" jobs. Nevertheless, he is willing to work hard when necessary.

A sociable person, Ronald is fond of parties. On one occasion, he told William that he would like to finish his job quickly in order to attend a party, and, on another occasion, he mingled and drank with third-class passengers on the Campania. Furthermore, Ronald is suave, having charmed the receptionist at the Grim Reaper Dispatch into assisting him in modifying his Death Scythe and having offered to treat Mey-Rin to a drink during their first encounter.

Ronald Knox is a young man with short blond hair and the underside of his hair dyed black, as well as a cowlick at the right side of his hair. Like other Grim Reapers, he has chartreuse phosphorescent eyes.

Ronald wears thick-framed, pentagon glasses and a watch on his right wrist. He often dresses in a suit, tie, gloves, dress shoes, and occasionally a hat.

Ronald's Death Scythe has been modified to resemble a lawnmower, on the principle of avoiding overtime. The Death Scythe comprises two wheels; four circular blades, with two straight blades set horizontal to them; a handle; and a small cord that activates the Death Scythe upon being pulled. The words "Death Scythe" are engraved on the front.

William T. Spears is an aloof, dignified individual who strictly observes rules and formalities and expects the same from others. He performs his duties with diligence, precision, and impartiality. He does not take kindly to those who cause trouble, particularly if such trouble forces him to apologize for their actions and work overtime.

William has no qualms about inflicting injuries on others, as evidenced when he jumped off a roof and landed on Grelle Sutcliff's head and when he attacked Sebastian Michaelis on a few occasions with his Death Scythe.

William deems demons disgusting creatures; he has called Sebastian a variety of disparaging names such as "devilish fiend," "leech," "hound," and "vermin." Nevertheless, his decorum outweighs his distaste for demons; for instance, he once apologized to Sebastian on Grelle's behalf when Grelle violated the Grim Reaper code of neutrality.

William is a tall man with short, neatly combed dark-brown hair. Like other Grim Reapers, he has chartreuse phosphorescent eyes.

William wears rectangular glasses with four decorative lines on each temple. He often dresses in a dark suit, tie, black gloves, and dress shoes.

William's Death Scythe is an extendable pruner; it is essentially a long, silver metal rod with blades at the end.

Undertaker is an eccentric, enigmatic individual who giggles frequently, appreciates laughter, enjoys frightening others and provoking reactions with his strange mannerisms, and spends a considerable amount of time in coffins.

Because corpses, many of which victims of the underworld, are ordinarily delivered to his place of business, Undertaker is able to inspect them, whom he refers to as his "guests," remove their organs for research, and obtain useful information, which he refuses to exchange for "the Queen's money," as he dislikes Queen Victoria; rather, he expects those seeking information on the corpses to amuse him in some way.

Undertaker is profoundly attached to the Phantomhive house, to the degree that he seceded from the Grim Reaper Dispatch to focus his efforts entirely on manipulating life and death in hopes of restoring the late Phantomhives to life. Despite years of experimentation where he resurrects the dead via connecting fake records to their Cinematic Records so that such will never end, he lacks the ability to construct a soul; the corpses he revives are Bizarre Dolls, which are, more or less, "flesh dolls without a self." Nevertheless, he, with steadfast resolve, continues to experiment and sees beauty in his Bizarre Dolls where others see depravity. He considers "Ciel Phantomhive" his masterpiece.

Undertaker regards a particular chain of seven mourning lockets as his "treasure." (Engraved on one of the lockets is: 13 July 1866, Cloudia P.) He eventually entrusts his treasure to Ciel Phantomhive.

Undertaker is a lean man with long gray hair—a part of it is tied in a single braid on the right side of his head—black fingernails, and a jagged scar across his face, neck, and left pinky finger; he has more scars all over his body. Like other Grim Reapers, he has chartreuse phosphorescent eyes, which he usually keeps hidden under his hair.

Undertaker often dresses in a black robe, a long crooked top hat, and a gray scarf strapped across his chest and knotted by the hips. He wears black earrings; an emerald ring on his left index finger; a band of prayer beads around his neck; and, formerly, a chain with seven mourning lockets around his hip.

While still an active Grim Reaper, Undertaker wore half-framed silver-square glasses, a black trench coat, a white dress shirt, a black tie, black gloves, and black shoes. He did not have any scars on his face and neck, but he did have his ear piercings.

Undertaker's Death Scythe consists of a long curving silver blade extending from a miniature skeleton, whose skull is wrapped in a thorny vine, at the top of the handle; the rib-cage of the skeleton connects to the narrow stem of the handle, which ends in a lower backbone.

Grelle Sutcliff is an outspoken, flamboyant individual who unreservedly expresses herself and her desires. She possesses a strong predilection for the color red, which she believes can be used to achieve beauty.

Combative, Grelle is quick to turn to violence to eliminate hindrances and has had numerous clashes with Sebastian Michaelis because of such an inclination. She has little to no patience for those who are bogged down by her emotions, having ruthlessly slain partner-in-crime Angelina Dalles for hesitating to kill her nephew.

At first, Grelle was dismissive of the principles of Grim Reapers, which includes staying neutral in human affairs, as evidenced by her unlawful partnership with Angelina. However, after a period of suspension, Grelle has come to respect said principles, enough to preach the importance of soul-reaping to fellow Grim Reaper; Ronald Knox. Nevertheless, due to her impulsive nature, she is still liable to transgress these principles, such as when she attempted to kill Aleister Chamber while ignoring Ronald's warning that killing humans is prohibited.

Grelle is fond of incorporating double entendres and referencing plays and theatre in her speech; for instance, she described Angelina's death as a "falling of curtains" and compared her relationship with Sebastian to Romeo and Juliet.

When posing as Angelina's butler, Grelle was timid and ineffective at her job; she failed to properly prepare tea and got lost while driving a carriage.

Grelle is an individual "covered in red." Grelle has long dark-red hair, shark-like teeth, and red-framed glasses accessorized with a chain with skulls. Like other Grim Reapers, Grelle has chartreuse phosphorescent eyes.

Grelle's typical attire consists of a vest; gloves; a red-and white-striped bow around her neck; and red and black 4.33-inch (11-cm) high-heeled ankle boots. Grelle also sports a red coat she took from Angelina Dalles after fatally wounding her; she often wear it slung off her shoulders with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows.

Grelle has had her Death Scythe modified to operate like a chainsaw, for she considers the average Death Scythe old-fashioned.

When posing as Angelina Dalles' butler, Grelle had brown hair, which was tied with a red ribbon, and she dressed in plain black clothes.

Grelle was born male but considers herself to be a woman. She is 25-28 years old and has the height of 175cm (5'9").

The community of Grim Reapers is referred to as the Grim Reaper Dispatch. The organization is divided into administrative departments or districts; each section is charged with a specific duty. The Management Division is responsible for overseeing the dispatch members, and ensuring that their conduct is proper and acceptable. They will apprehend whichever Grim Reaper violated their ordinances. The Retrieval Division consists of members dispatched into the field to retrieve souls. The Personnel Division sends out reinforcements to the field, when necessary. The Administrative Division controls the use of Death Scythes; Grim Reapers must obtain permission to use their Death Scythes, and to modify them.

There are different branches of the Grim Reaper Dispatch, separated by geographical regions. According to William, the London District, or the British Branch, is "perpetually understaffed."

Identified Divisions:
Headquarters
Management Division
Retrieval Division
Personnel Division
Administrative Division

Known Rules:
Killing those not on the list of the dead is prohibited.
Using a Death Scythe without submitting an application for said use is prohibited.
Interfering with life and death in the human world is prohibited.

Characteristics:
Grim Reapers typically intend to eliminate anything that gets in their way. They and demons have a long-standing and mutual distaste for one another. They consider demons vulgar and a nuisance; demons disrupt their structured, meticulous work of reaping souls, due to their tendency to devour souls indiscriminately and in great quantities.

Grim Reapers are similar to humans in strength and hearing. Unlike demons, Grim Reapers require sleep. They also need to eat. All Grim Reapers have chartreuse phosphorescent eyes, and wear glasses because they are extremely nearsighted. Grim Reapers without their glasses are normally presumed to be "deserters." Moreover, all Grim Reapers dress in black.

Abilities
Enhanced agility: Grim Reapers are considerably more agile than humans; it is as though they are "defying gravity."

Enhanced endurance: Grim Reapers are appreciably tough, for they are able to endure attacks that could have killed a human.

Invisibility: Grim Reapers can turn themselves invisible to humans. However, humans close to death may still notice concealed Grim Reapers.

Soul review and collection: By using their Death Scythes, Grim Reapers can review a dying soul's memories, via its Cinematic Record, and retrieve the soul, once the formal assessment is finished.

Grim Reapers must remain neutral between God and humans; they are strictly forbidden from intervening in or influencing human affairs. Grim Reapers receive a soul retrieval list of those scheduled to die from their higher-ups. The list contains substantial information on the human, including the person's name, parents, birth date, death date, cause of death, and any additional notes. Their principal job is to check each dying soul's Cinematic Record, or kaleidoscope of memories, one by one, to determine whether they deserve to die. For the human who receives the judgment, "this human should die," the Grim Reapers use their Death Scythes to sever their memories and souls from their bodies, resulting in the human's death. Afterward, they would promptly stamp "Completed" on the individual's file on the list. The human can be removed from the list only when they are judged to have been one "who has potential to be beneficial for this world"—notwithstanding, the number of humans who have that sort of value is few to none, according to William T. Spears. The Grim Reapers fundamentally work to confirm that the rare possibility of a "valuable" human is not the case each time, and they must do so as indifferently and level-headedly as they can.

If a Grim Reaper makes a mistake or breaks a rule during their mission, they must return to headquarters and submit a written apology and report. The details of their punishment are unknown, though if the crime is severe, they may be suspended for some time. On the other hand, if a Grim Reaper quits or retires, they would no longer have their soul retrieval list, and their Death Scythe would be confiscated, unconditionally.

Grim Reapers, particularly those of the Retrieval Division, also inspect irregularities and tamperings with life and Cinematic Records. In rare cases, they infiltrate places and blend in with humans to investigate.
