Anne Kruin

Anne Kruin is a side character in the Elsaverse. Kruin is Sangrive's current Mayor, and she was first mentioned in the game Saving Chloe (2018), although her first actual appearance came later on in the saga, in the short story Elsaverse: Transitions (2020-2021). She has no powers known.

Character Overview
Anne Kruin is another victim of Morland Reyes' schemes, although it could be argued that at least she actually got something in return. Morland founded her political campaign and then started poisoning her with a special, slow-effect poison made by his right hand, Crow, to ensure Kruin's obedience as Crow was the only one who had the antidote she needed. As a candidate in the Mayoral election, Anne Kruin ran on a platform of the incompetence of Sangrive's Police Department and created a heated state of opinion against the force. Morland's perfectly planned attack on Mayor Bertradino's rally, which still caused several victims despite Jessica Springfield's intervention, boosted Kruin in the polls, especially after the Police weren't able to find the perpetrators. Even after Morland's sudden departure from Sangrive, Kruin kept pressuring the Police with other complex cases like the one involving the death of her friends' son, Brian Case.

Eventually, Anne Kruin won the election by a wide margin. Just before, she also obtained a full bottle of the antidote she needed to neutralize the poison. With Morland out of the picture, her daughter Chloe was taking over his business and Kruin thought she would keep behaving as her father did. However, Kruin didn't receive any further instructions after getting the antidote, so she came to visit Chloe at El Rey Casino to ask her what she actually wanted in exchange. The new Mayor was surprised to see that Chloe didn't want anything in return and that her only interest was to break that ill-born influence and to have Kruin totally cured. Chloe told her that she was also a victim of her father's evilness and that she was renovating an old abandoned hotel to turn it into a battered women's shelter. Relieved and moved by her story, Anne Kruin promised to order the police to keep an eye on Morland and Charles, had they ever come back to the city.
