Alois Trancy
"Voiced by Nana Mizuki (JP) and Luci Christian (ENG)"

"They should all die! All of them! Everything, completely annihilated!"


 * A Boy and His X: A boy and his demon butler.
 * Agent Peacock: Dangerous and camp.
 * Ambiguously Gay: The only thing keeping it ambiguous is... nothing, actually. He rivals Grell himself in terms of overall flirtatious camp. Much creepier, though.
 * Not very ambiguous at all anymore, after the scenes in episode 5 of season 2 when . Or how in episode 8 he practically confessed his love to Claude and tells Claude in episode 11 "I wanted your love."
 * His overly-sexualized behavior could be a mirror to Ciel's own Hates Being Touched and, like Ciel, is a result of his abuse.
 * Animal Motifs: Apparently the Trancy clan has been long associated with spiders, and Alois himself has had quite a few What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic scenes with spiders and webs.
 * His contract mark even looks a bit like a spiderweb.
 * Aristocrats Are Evil
 * Ax Crazy: Oh dear, was that your eye? That's what you get for... looking at me?
 * His behavior/actions in general are rather Ax Crazy.
 * Badass Adorable
 * Bishonen: Being a year older than Ciel, he could qualify for either trope.
 * Bodyguard Crush
 * Break the Cutie
 * Blond Guys Are Evil
 * Blue Eyes

 * Expy: Ladies and Gentlemen, Lio Shirazumi's equally depraved 14-year old son! I mean, think about it. These two look rather similar, blonde hair and all, they crossdress, and have... disturbing fetishes... with Shiki Ryougi/Ciel Phantomhive to the point where they even start licking them and comparing themselves to them. And they threaten their Morality Pet loved ones (Mikiya Kokutou/Elizabeth Midford) and practically have horrid backstories that make you feel bad for them until...
 * If you subtrackt the licking, Lio and Alois may both be expies of Johan Liebert.
 * Eye Scream: Performed on an undeserving maid. With his fingers. To impress Claude, apparently.
 * Foil: Of Ciel.
 * Freudian Excuse:
