Like all Grim Reapers, he wears a classic black three-piece suit, glasses due to his nearsightedness, and has phosphorescent yellow-green eyes. He is distinguished by the fact that instead of a regular tie, he wears a bolo tie (a cord with a clip). His Death Scythe looks like a Japanese garden cleaver on a long wooden handle.

Disguise: For a long time, Undertaker carried it with him in the form of a simple wooden coffin or concealed it under a long cloak.

Details: Sharp teeth (similar to shark teeth), two-inch heels, and red-framed glasses with a chain made of skulls. Weapon: Her Death Scythe is modified to look like a powerful red chainsaw. 🎭 Personality Grell's personality is a mixture of theatrical drama, cruelty, and mad amorousness: Eccentricity and drama: Perceives life as a theatrical stage. Constantly plays out tragedies, wrings his hands, and speaks in high-flown phrases about love and passion. Bloodthirstiness: Possesses sadistic tendencies. Adores the sight of blood and the color red, believing it perfectly accentuates the beauty of death. Amorousness: Crazy about Sebastian (calls him "Little Sebastian" or "Bassy") and William T. Spears. Constantly flirts with them, flirts with them, and dreams of a romantic relationship, despite their complete indifference or aggression.

Hair: Short, ash-white, with one long strand sticking out like an antenna. Eyes: Narrowed, with snake-like vertical pupils.

He became genuinely attached to Ciel, who took him in after the circus tragedy (though Snake didn't know for a long time that Ciel was responsible for the deaths of his circus friends). Peacefulness: He doesn't show unprovoked aggression, but is willing to use his snakes' venom to protect his loved ones.

Personality: Behind the mask of a good-for-nothing chef lies an experienced and cool-headed war veteran. Everyday life: Cheerful, hot-tempered, and overly confident.

Real Form (Serious): A tall, stately, and fit elderly man with a stern gaze and impeccable posture. In this form, he looks like a classic, experienced English butler.🧠 PersonalityPeaceful and aloof: In his normal form, he appears to be an absolutely harmless, good-natured grandfather who completely ignores the chaos happening around him in the manor.Loyal and loyal: He is boundlessly devoted to the Phantomhive family. He served Ciel's father (Vincent) and is willing to give his life for the safety of his young master.Wise and observant: He has colossal life experience.

Dutiful: He carries out Ciel's every order without question, often accompanying it with the catchphrase, "I'm just a damn good butler." Cruelty and sadism: He is indifferent to the suffering of others. He easily kills enemies, manipulates people, and sees them as nothing more than tools or food. Sarcasm and humor: He often makes subtle jokes, either silently or out loud, about the shortcomings of other servants and even Ciel himself. Weakness toward cats: He adores all members of the feline family, which can cause him to temporarily lose his usual concentration. Attitude toward contract: He views Ciel as an exquisite "dish" that he carefully prepares (develops and protects) so that he can ultimately consume his soul.

Ciel's Appearance: Age: 12-13 years old, appears very fragile and petite for his age. Eyes: Left eye - deep blue (knight's blue); right eye hidden under a black eye patch, with a purple seal burned into it to contrast with the demon's.
