Sebastian

Sebastian Von Marburg was the son of Countess Von Marburg and a very powerful cradle witch, which means that he was born with the magical genes, and has an internal source of power. He was a charming young man whose purpose was to serve as a vessel to complete the Grand Rite, however, despite that he grew up rich, among the European aristocrats. He was hundreds of years old, but he was quite infantile, arrogant, and lustful, and he had a sense of superiority that his mother instilled in him. He was also quite handsome, never having issues with the ladies, but he was also pretty smart, being able to survive for as long as he has. However, there is another Sebastian that is even more fascinating than the one from Salem. This Sebastian comes from the anime Kuroshitsuji.

Sebastian is a Phantomhive household pet dog, a large black Borzoi, also known as the Russian wolfhound. Borzoi as a breed is usually quiet and only barks when there is real danger approaching, and Sebastian is pretty much the same. He is always calm, except when he barks at Ciel Phantomhive. He is very agile and fast, and his intelligence levels are incredible. He was fond of “Ciel” – Lord Sirius, over Earl Ciel Phantomhive, which is funny because the two of them are twins. He usually bit Earl Ciel’s ankles, which often scared the boy.

Sebastian was with the Phantomhive twins in their bedroom on December 14, 1885, when they were waiting for Tanaka to come. Tanaka, as well as their parents, were snatched by an unknown attacker, and “Ciel” was grabbed and taken away. Ciel wanted to go after his brother, but Sebastian held him back and knocked him to the ground, licked his face, and guided him in the opposite direction. He rushed to Rachel and Vincent Phantomhive’s room, and Ciel followed, not being able to keep up with the fast dog. He barked when he entered the room, which is significant since he rarely barked. He sensed danger and tried to fight off the attacker, but when Ciel finally got to the room, Sebastian was already dead.

However, Sebastian’s troubles were futile in this case, because both twins were kidnapped and sold to a wealthy buyer, where they were tortured and mistreated. In all that time, Ciel thought of Sebastian who tried to save him. When he summoned his demon butler, he named him Sebastian after the brave dog that tried to protect his family.

Salem Inspired Dog Name Considerations

We all know about the infamous Salem witch trials that happened in the Massachusetts town in 1692 and 1693. Many women and men were accused of witchcraft, which caused hysteria among the Puritan society. The horrific events showed the lack of logical thinking within the community, and many people were executed, so today, while you are looking for a perfect new name for your pup, you can honor the original “witches” and name your doggo after one of them!

The first three women to be accused of witchcraft by a bunch of 12-year-old girls were Sarah Good, the homeless beggar, Sarah Osborne, who didn’t attend church, and Tituba, an enslaved woman from Barbados. Tituba especially was accused of luring the girls with stories from Malleus Maleficarum. Other accused women were Martha Corey, who had an illegitimate mixed-race child, Dorothy Good, Sarah Good’s daughter, and Rebecca Nurse, accused and tried on the base of spectral evidence, which makes no sense. All of these brave women have fantastic names that can become your doggo’s new moniker. Oher notable “witches” were Elizabeth Proctor and Mary Eastey, and distinguished prosecutors were John Hathorne, James Russell, and Isaac Addington.
