History
???

Shinjuku Arc
Horn Skuld and Seventeenth Progenitor Chess Belle First appear in chapter 10 while searching for Thirteenth Progenitor Crowley Eusford in Shinjuku. They find him fighting with Shinoa Squad of the Moon Demon Company. They inform him that Seventh Progenitor Ferid Bathory requests his presence on the front lines, and the three of them leave.

They finally make it the 5th Street intersection in chapter 14. Shinoa Squad makes it there first. This may be because the vampires had to go all the way around the human fortress at Shinjuku while the humans simply went straight through it. They arrive as Ferid draws his sword. Noticing Crowley, Ferid returns his sword to his scabbard and gives the orders to turn the vampire extermination unit into vampire livestock. Mikaela Hyakuya attempts to kidnap Special Private Yuichiro Hyakuya while the other vampires attack the remaining humans. Horn defeats Special Private Shiho Kimizuki and drinks his blood.

Yu undergoes a transformation into a one-winged monster. He strikes at Crowley, or rather the human beneath Crowley. Crowley avoids his attack, and he misses Sergeant Shinoa Hiragi by a few feet. The humans return him to human form. The Main Shinjuku Army arrives to reinforce the humans in Shinjuku. Crowley asks Ferid for orders, and they all retreat.

Nagoya Arc
In chapter 27, the Moon Demon Company of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army attacks Nagoya.

In chapter 28, Crowley, Chess, and Horn wait in the Nagoya City Hall. The humans planned to kill Chess and Skull, but Crowley helps them take down six squads of the Moon Demon Company, killing ten of them and keeping the remaining twenty as hostages. He releases a fatally-injured soldier named Kusunoki to deliver the news to Lieutenant Colonel Guren Ichinose. After this, although Guren initially planned on avoiding Crowley, he adds Crowley's name to his hit list. Crowley looks forward to their arrival while waiting in a Nagoya City Hall office with Chess and Horn. Chess drinks too much of a hostage's blood, and Horn warns her that she killed him. Crowley says it is fine since they have so many, but he says that she could do to take things more seriously. He ponders over the demon weapons and suspects a high-ranking vampire has been traitorously aiding the humans. He warns Chess and then swings a Cursed Gear sword at her to test its strength, and her body forms a new crater in the wall. She unhappily informs him that any weapon is strong in his hands. He cuts his finger while examining a demon blade and lets Horn lick his wound, much to her pleasure and surprise. Chess instantly says that is not fair, but Horn says its now her own turn to drink blood.

Yoichi fires Gekkōin at Crowley and destroy a window. He catches it, ponders what this "bird-thing" is, and tosses it aside. He chats with Chess and Horn while waiting for the humans to attack again. Crowley says he needs to pick up a souvenir for Ferid. Both Chess and Horn state that they do not like Ferid, but Crowley insists that there is never a dull moment with him. They plan to capture commanders for Ferid.

When Crowley walks to the edge to look for the human commander, Guren and Shinya attack him, but he easily blocks their attacks and throws them through a wall.

Natural Abilities
As a vampire, Horn is naturally far more stronger and powerful than a human. Being a ??? progenitor, she is quite strong among vampires, although not nearly as strong as Lord Crowley. She can easily regenerate from non-curse wounds. As a noble, she also has permission and the ability to turn someone into a vampire if she so chooses.

Weapon
A knight's lance.
