Edo arc
After her Exorcist team (consisting of Tina Spark, Gwen Flail, and Sol Galen) is eliminated by Tyki Mikk, Klaud returns to the Black Order HQ in order to meet with the other Generals. She is then seen paying her respects to members of her unit alongside fellow General Winters Sokaro. Sokaro however, felt more happy to berate his former unit members.

Attack on Headquarters Arc
Later, she is seen drinking wine with fellow General Cross Marian. Though she asks him why he chose her as a drinking partner, she does not seem entirely unwilling. She does, however, shoot down Marian's advances rather coldly. When the Noah, Lulu Bell, attacks the headquarters, she teams up with Cross, Zokalo, Tiedoll, and Allen Walker to mount a counterattack. Comically, she tells Cross to do some work, he says he hates work, so she asks him if he wants to get whipped to which he replies, "Not a bad idea".

Phantom Thief G Arc
After Timothy Hearst joined the Black Order he became Klaud's apprentice.

Third Exorcists Arc
During the attack on the North America Branch Klaud was in Greece with her new team consisting of Lenalee Lee, Koushi and Timothy Hearst, facing off against Lulu Bell in the form of a dragon. 3 months after these events she was in headquarters preparing to go on a mission.

Powers and Abilities
Animal Trainer: Formerly a member of a circus, Klaud is an expert animal trainer, something reflected in her Anti-Akuma Weapon, Lau Jimin, which is a sentient animal that obeys her commands. She carries a whip into battle with her and seems to use it while giving Lau Jimin commands, though whether it has any actual effect or is simply a remnant of her days in the circus is unknown.

Innocence
Lau Jimin (ラウ・シーミン): Klaud's Innocence is a little monkey that rides on her shoulder. This parasitic type Innocence, called Lau Jimin (or Lau Shimin), is the first sentient, animalistic Innocence shown in the series. When activated, the monkey transforms into a monstrous simian that attacks with balls of energy that form at its fists. Klaud doesn't display this ability until the assault on headquarters by Lulu Bell. In this form, Lau Jimin shows incredible strength, speed, and agility, capable of leaping incredible distances with the greatest of ease.


 * Long Range Mode : Destruction Shell Lau Gunz (破甲砲 "ラウ・ガンズ" Yabu kabuto-hō "rau ganzu", lit. translation "Artillery Shell Fracture "Lau Guns""): Lau Jimin, upon receiving Klaud's command, splits from the top of its head down to its groin, an explosive mass of energy building up in the center of this split and firing to deal devastating damage.

Trivia

 * Klaud likes caring for Lau Jimin and blue cheese and dislikes useless men.
