AppearanceEdit

Jumbo, as his name would indicate, is an extremely large man, who seems to have a slight hunch. Due to his size, it's possible that he suffers from gigantism. He is bald and has yellow eyes and red tattoos of fire that wraps around the back of his head, on his shoulders and on his forearms. He also has multiple piercings in each ear. He wears baggy yellow pants and is typically shirtless, save for a medallion he wears strapped across his chest.^[1]

In the past, his appearance is similar to the way he is now, except he did not have the tattoos.

PersonalityEdit

Jumbo seems to be the voice of reason among the circus members. He seems to be very level-headed and is not prone to giving into his emotions.

He is extremely kind and generous, once stopping his work to help Dagger play with the other children in the past.^[2] Even though he is willing to kill people in order to carry out his orders, he seems to be genuinely unhappy about having to do so.

HistoryEdit

Like the other members of the Noah's Ark Circus, he grew up in an alley in the East End. Like the other first-tier members, he is said to have a similar problem. It is stated that his problem is that he was raised too harshly and was deformed by his parents.^[3] Like the others, he was picked up by Baron Kelvin and came to live in his manor.

When the others decided to start a circus, he became the fire eater.

Manga's SynopsisEdit

Noah's Ark CircusEdit

Like the others, he is first seen during a performance at the Noah's Ark Circus when Sebastian Michaelis and Ciel Phantomhive begin the initial stages of their investigation. He is not seen much throughout the other chapters, until Snake tells Jumbo, Dagger and Joker that Ciel and Sebastian were in their tents. He says that they can't act yet, in case they are associated with Yard. They agree that Joker should speak with Father first.

The following day, when they learn that Ciel and Sebastian have left the circus, Peter is seen striking Doll. Jumbo stops him from continuing to hit her, stating that it's not something they should be doing right then. He then says it'd be dangerous to continue to stay there. The first-tier circus members agree that the next night, they'll enact Father's plan.

The next evening, the first-tier members arrive at the Phantomhive manor. In the interest of getting through the manor quickly, they decide to split up. Jumbo is seen heading across the yard, where he encounters Finnian who just woke up. He attacks Finnian, and apologizes, saying that it can't be helped. However, Finnian survives the assault and bashes Jumbo's head into the manor's wall. Before Finnian delivers the finishing blow, he yells for the other circus members to escape while they can.

QuotesEdit

• "Father said this time's target is special. If we don't do something while we're here ... If we fail, he will be angry for sure."

• (To Finnian) "It can't be helped. Forgive me."^[4]

• "Bro! Sis! Please get away! This mansion is strange!"^[5]

TriviaEdit

• He is the only member of the Noah's Ark Circus to apologize to the individual he attacked.^[4]
• His name likely comes from Jumbo, a large African Bush Elephant sold in 1882 to P. T. Barnum, for the circus.
