She punishes him for his actions but shows him mercy. Since then, he uses blackmail about her dabbling in the seraph of the end against her to prevent her from killing him. He is extremely fond of Mikaela and touches him at every opportunity, much to Mika's displeasure. He claims that Mika is his favorite servant while Krul states she is Mika's owner.

After his fight with Urd, he flings Krul and flees.

Sika Madu

Saito notes that all vampires dislike him to some degree for turning them into undying bloodsucking monsters. He sired Krul and shown interest in her brother Ashera Tepes which he took away, begging him to bring back her brother and not go with him but Sika simply ignores the heartbroken Krul, and Ashera says this is for their future.

Mika encounters him on the battlefield in Shinjuku in 2020, and Yuichiro transforms into an uncontrollable monster. He stabs Mika through the back and chest and harms him enough to make Mika require curse detoxification. Even so, Krul claims to like him. She supports Mika's familial love and sends him to rescue Yuichiro from the humans.

When she senses that her brother Ashera Tepes is Yu Cursed Gear, she then knew that Mahiru kept her part of their bargain.

At some point, in the Dark Ages of Greece, a young Yu come across her wanting to see the "Mikaela" she tells him to keep it a secret he agree's to but being ignorant as he is a young questioning the meaning behind it which puts Krul in a desperate situation.

She and her brother were attacked by the rebels who hate nobles, then she and Ashera were separated. He became a demon after Sika Madu took him, now taking the name Asuramaru. Mahiru Hiragi stole him and used him as her black demon weapon in the Catastrophe light novels. In volume 5, Krul asks Mahiru about his whereabouts. She is unaware that Asuramaru now serves Yuichiro Hyakuya as his Cursed Gear. In Chapter 49 of the manga, it is revealed that Krul cares deeply for her brother as she cries and pleads him not to go.
