Earl Alois Trancy

A blonde child who appears to be carefree, but is actually quite morbid and manipulative. He mistreats his servant, Hanna, and he is shown gouging out her left eye in the first episode as well as does actions simply to see if it will annoy his servants. Initially, it was thought that he was kidnapped after birth, thus resulting in his mother's suicide. Alois was kept in an unknown village for some time where he was worked like a slave, until one day when all the people in that village were killed, including a younger boy whom he considered as his little brother. He was found by his father, but suffered sexual abuse. The first episode showed him getting out of a bed with his father, Alois's body discolored by bruises. His father died of the plague. Alois' contract is found on his tongue, having been sealed there by a spider. Unlike Ciel, who thinks of his Demon Butler as his knight/servant, Alois is dependent on Claude, clinging to him and ordering him to not leave him alone in darkness (Alois is afraid of the dark because of his past). Also unlike Ciel, who hides his contract, Alois often displays his by showing off his tongue as much as possible. A mystery in the series is how he is controlling the actions of five demons as aside Claude all the other household servants seem to be demons as well. He is voiced by Nana Mizuki in the anime adaption.
Alois Trancy is a foil to Ciel Phantomhive. Ciel, despite his hardships and seeming indifference, actually cares for people and causes and attempts to be stable and poised. However, Alois is his opposite - appearing to be energetic he is psychologically scarred and pathologically abusive and calculative. He is also known as bipolar. Alois is symbolized via light colors such as gold, red and white (his normal attire is dark purple) whereas Ciel is symbolized via dark colors like black, violet and blue (his normal attire is dark blue). Their personalities, however, conflict with their imagery. They also have opposite tolerances for pain: while Ciel was able to grab a blade without flinching, Alois becomes completely hysterical at the sight of his own blood. In Episode 7 Alois is horribly stabbed at the stomach by Ciel and saved by Claude. In the beginning of episode 8 he orders Hanna to take him to Ciel and she takes him by a carriage where his past is revealed
In Episode 8 Alois was killed by Claude, and his past revealed. Alois Trancy's real name was Jim McCain. His younger brother, Luca, and he were abandoned orphans. Alois became angry with the people in his village because the villagers mistreated his brother and him despite them being alone, and so wished for their deaths. Luca believed in Jim and stated that his older brother could always do anything he wanted; Jim told Luca to follow him for protection, to which Luca responded: "Yes, your Highness." One night when Jim and Luca went to get water from the river, they saw a dead body floating in it, and the distant village in flames. Upon the discovery that all of the villagers had died, Jim burst in frenzied joy. Though Luca was initially happy, he became slightly concerned for his brother. While stealing from the villagers, Jim got an odd feeling that he was being watched called out to Luca to return; however, he found Luca dead. After a while Jim was brought along with other boys to Trancy, who is revealed to be a pedophile. Jim was initially rejected by Trancy as he was said to have filthy looking eyes. He later overheard a boy talking about summoning a fairy and instead summons Claude, creating the contract in what appeared to be a strange dream ritual. Jim uses his sex appeal to gain Trancy's trust and his estate, finding out that Sebastian had destroyed the village upon the orders of his former master, and that his current master is Ciel. Jim, now Alois Trancy, decides to take revenge on Sebastian by taking Ciel and delivering an agony worse than death. As Jim is bleeding Grell comes to take his soul but he orders Hanna to fight him. While crawling away images of his past come in the scenes where he threw plates at Claude for staring at him, slapping him for being too obedient and finally wanting him to keep on saying "Yes, your Highness," like his brother, Luca, did a long time ago. Jim is bleeding and attracts the attention of a wolf but he desires Claude to be with him. Claude comes and rescues him from the wolf and Jim is overjoyed and tells Claude that he is his Highness (Alois looked up to Claude because he saved him and with Claude by his side he became powerful). Claude smiles (in the previous episode Alois found this disgusting, this time he became frozen) and sits down and stares at Jim's face but then kills him commenting that a soul like his, which can give (platonic) love/respect/admiration to a menial butler as himself, does not stir his appetite. However, he does state that Alois's does still have a use. He takes Alois's ring and puts it inside his jacket stating he will always be by his side and then leaves as even Grell has no problems with his actions.
After a moment, Hannah comes along and sits on top of his dead body, and cut at his eye and pressing her face to his left eye tells him she is giving him what he wants. It is revealed that Hannah had a plan of her own the whole time and also that she (along with Luca who's soul resides in her) love Alois and will do anything for him. When Alois's soul is placed in Ciel, it is Hannah who re-awakens Alois's consciousness. It is from that point on that she tells Alois that he still has both she and Luca. Alois then realizes that he should have been loving Hannah the whole time instead of so desperately trying to gain Claude's approval and acknowledgement. He tries to give Claude one last chance when he and Sebastian race each other through a maze by allowing Claude to get every answer right, only for Claude to reveal that he only used Alois and never acknowledged his soul as worthy to be eaten. Alois finally snaps and claims that he hates Claude and that everyone who used him or won't acknowledge him should die. Hannah comforts Alois and they form a new contract. As Claude and Sebastian arrive at the end of the maze, a broken Alois tells Claude that he just wanted to be loved (in a sense, Alois basically states that he wanted someone, anyone to love him and acknowledge his existence). Then, Alois/Ciel falls unconscious as Hannah holds him and puts the butlers up for a duel. Sebastian wins and kills Claude but not before Claude acknowledges that maybe Alois's soul would have been delicious after all. Alois becomes shocked and aware of Claude's death, relaxes a bit, and then disappears with a smile on his face, leaving Ciel alone. In the end, Hannah approaches Claude's dead body and proclaims that she, Alois, Luca, and Claude will live happily in the afterlife.
