Baldroy is a character from "Black Butler" who works as a cook for the Phantomhive household. He's known for his wild look, rough personality, and being the oldest among the three close servant friends. Originally from America, he is not very skilled at cooking and often causes trouble by using weapons as kitchen tools. He has a tragic past and high-level combat abilities from his days as a soldier. Today, he acts more as a leader and strategist, especially in dangerous situations, making sure Finnian and Mey-Rin follow his guidance. Baldroy has no supernatural powers, but his quick thinking and military skills make him a unique and valuable member of the staff.
Baldroy is a tall man, standing at 180 cm.
He has a scruffy beard and is almost always seen with a cigarette.
His rugged appearance makes him look older, though he is often called an “old kid” by the author.
Baldroy was born in a rural town in America.
He used to be a farmer and lived a peaceful life with his wife and son.
Tragedy struck when a conflict between white settlers and Native Americans reached his town.
His family was killed and his farm was destroyed.
Seeking revenge, Baldroy became a soldier and fought on the battlefield.
He became famous as a “man who always survives even the worst battles,” not because of special powers, but because he was great at judging situations and staying alive.
Sebastian Michaelis heard about him and offered him a position at the Phantomhive House.
Baldroy moved to England and became the household cook.
Baldroy has no supernatural powers.
He is a seasoned soldier, very skilled with guns and weapons.
He hides weapons in the kitchen and sometimes uses firepower or homemade bombs as if they were kitchen tools.
He can quickly set traps or make grenades from whatever is around.
He sometimes brings heavy weapons from America, like flamethrowers or machine guns, to use for the house’s defenses.
He acts as a commander for Finnian and Mey-Rin, who are not so good at tactics.
Baldroy is officially the cook, but he is bad at cooking.
On the farm, his wife handled the kitchen, and in the army, he cared more about eating than taste or quality.
Even after moving into Phantomhive House, he rarely makes anything edible.
Sebastian Michaelis says that 80% of what Baldroy cooks turns to charcoal, and the rest is dangerous to eat.
He does sometimes receive basic cooking lessons from Sebastian and once made beef tataki on his own, showing he isn’t completely hopeless.
A Life Ruined by War
Baldroy once enjoyed a simple, happy life as a farmer with his family in America.
A terrible conflict resulted in the deaths of his wife and son, as well as the destruction of his home.
Becoming a Soldier
Driven by revenge, Baldroy joined the military.
He became known across many battlefields, not because of superhuman skills but because he was quick to judge situations and always escaped alive.
Working at the Phantomhive House
His fame reached Sebastian Michaelis, who recruited him for the Phantomhive household.
Baldroy took up the job of cook, even though his real strength lay in battle, not cooking.
He leads parts of the staff in action and protects the house with his military skills.
His nickname is “Bald.”
The author calls him an “old kid” due to his rough teenage spirit in an adult body.
His cooking is so bad that most of it ends up as charcoal or something dangerous.
