Ciel: Had a good family and friends, but lost his parents in a fire.

Alois: Kidnapped at a young age, raped and torchered. Only person he loved, and saw as a brother died. Mother killed herself, father died of sickness.

I love Ciel, but Alois has definietly been threw more then him. No wonder he is kind of crazy. But I'm surprized he's not like Ciel and not able to show emotions. He can still smile and act so full of life. Though he is very violent and horrible to his servent. I wish Claude was there for him more, like Sebastian is for Ciel.

Ciel has been through so much, but Alois had it worse.

@pumpkinqueen I agree. Alois had a horrible life. If only Claude could be there with him more.

This could be viewed a number of different ways so I think I will call it a tie

Poor thing ;__;

Definitely

I don't know, both had it pretty hard but I guess the manga made me feel worse for Ciel. Alois, however, I think was indeed the more tragic of the two.

I second what pumpkinqueen and what hetalianstella said. :(

They both had a very terrible past. But in my opinion, it's Ciel. On his BIRTHDAY, his home was on fire, and he lost his parents in it as well. He was really looking forward to his special birthday night, but nope. Then he was captured, and put in a cage (not only that, but touched all over too), as well as have a scar-like mark on his back (using the manga as source, not anime). Then he was put on a table, where he was stabbed very severely, and would have likely died if he had not summoned Sebastian. In my opinion, Ciel wins by just a little.
