So in the latest chapter Othello says that demons sometimes help humans with the development of new technologies which implies that demons have some knowledge about these kind of things.
That makes me wonder how much Sebastian really knows about such developments. As a demon he’s one of those Othello spoke about so maybe he should know about all these technologies. However, Sebastian doesn’t really strike me as someone who does. He usually seems very surprised whenever he sees some advanced technology and even though he looks quite fascinated it doesn’t seem as if he already knows all of that or could provide someone with such technologies on his own.
In the Green Witch arc he sent the samples of the gas to England for examination and he rather relies on humans (e.g. Sieglinde) to get some results regarding medical and technological questions. Also, when Sebastian investigated the cult’s lab he only seemed to see it as a room where the blood is being stored and maintained.
Othello, however, seems to have found that there’s more going on since he said that this is even more progressed than it should be (which might be related to what the cult is doing with the blood).
So I guess that not all demons possess the knowledge to provide humans with such technologies and Sebastian probably isn’t one of them. Of course, he could just hold back such information since Ciel isn’t asking and his fascination with new technologies might be more of a fascination for the humans who apparently developed them on their own. But to me, Sebastian seems more like someone who draws his knowledge from the past and who’s maybe a bit old-fashioned.
And maybe that’s what Othello meant here:
Many people think Othello is talking about Undertaker here and while that indeed could be true, he might also be talking about Sebastian.
It’s not a secret among the English shinigami that Sebastian is under contract with Ciel. So when Othello spoke about the possibility of a demon being responsible for the cult’s technologies Sebastian could have been his first guess. However, as Othello says, “that one” doesn’t really have the knowledge about this progress.
By the way, if Othello really meant Sebastian, it seems as if he knows him…
