History
Some one hundred fifty years ago, Fukaku battled the Impure King, but couldn't harm it.[2] After forming a contract with his familiar, Karura, he defeated the Impure King, splitting its heart in half. The heart, now referred to as the Left and Right Eye, were sealed away and Fukaku established his own order of exorcists in order to keep it secure.

Upon his death, his contract with Karura was passed onto his descendant.
