Earl Vincent Phantomhive (ヴィンセント ファントムハイヴ, Vinsento Fantomuhaivu) is the late head of the Phantomhive noble family. He is the husband of Rachel Phantomhive and father of Ciel Phantomhive, and is whom Ciel inherited his titles from.

Character OutlineEdit

Vincent was described as a handsome, well-dressed man with short, bluish-black hair, brown eyes, and a mole under his left eye.

Vincent was an exceptionally kind and welcoming person, as demonstrated when he noticed that Angelina Durless is self-conscious of her red hair and made a point to compliment it.^[1] He also welcomed Baron Kelvin into his home, and always spared a minute to exchange pleasantries, while others of his social status looked on with disdain.^[2] He was a loving father, and his family was very important to him.^[3]

However, he was just as capable as Ciel at manipulating individuals, and Baron Kelvin took note of him and his acquaintances as being "evil noblemen."^[4]

HistoryEdit

Vincent was the head of the Phantomhive household and acted as Queen Victoria's Watchdog.

As a young man, he attended Weston College with Alexis Leon Midford and Deiderich. He was the prefect of the Sapphire Owl dormitory and led his house to their only triumph in the annual cricket tournament held by the school. This win led to his affiliation with Deiderich which continued past their school years. ^[5]

Sometime while he was alive, Vincent hosted a variety of parties that many other nobles attended. Baron Kelvin attended one of these parties, and made a continued effort to network with Vincent after encountering Ciel.^[6]

On Ciel's tenth birthday, Vincent, his wife, and the family dog, Sebastian, were killed in a fire, his son was kidnapped, and his manor was burnt to the ground.^[7][8]

Book of DoomsdayEdit

In Episode 18, Angela Blanc created a twisted, combined form of Vincent and Rachel, which she uses to lead the cult as the priest. When she makes the creation try to kill Ciel Phantomhive, Sebastian Michaelis stops it by destroying it with a piece of broken glass.

Afterward, Angela kidnaps Ciel and tries to rewrite his past, conjuring up images of Rachel and Vincent to convince Ciel to allow her to. However, Ciel refuses to listen to Angela's manipulations through their images, causing them to disappear.

QuotesEdit

• (To Angelina Durless) "There is nothing shameful about being different from others. This is your character! Ann's red hair is really beautiful, just like the color of red spider lilies in their full bloom. Red really suits you. You should have more confidence in yourself."^[9]

• (Referring to Deiderich) "Finally, I've got one. I've wanted one for the longest time. A faithful German dog."^[10]
• (To Tanaka) "What have you ever known hatred to accomplish?" ^[11]
