Sulfus appears for the first time when Raf lands for the first time on Earth and laughs at her face when she screams, thinking she is going to be hit by a truck when instead she is trespassed by it. He explains her that until she completes her transformation she is invisible.
Sulfus is assigned to tempt and curse Andrew, a 14 year-old boy. He wins the first challenge against Raf after tricking her into thinking he is drowning, making her grab his hand and consequently breaking the V.E.T.O for the first time which leaves a small red star printed in their hands. Unknown to him and Raf, they are marked as the chosen ones by Reina, a neutral who wants to escape the Limbo and for that she needs a kiss between an angel and a devil to happen.
On a weekend where the teachers must leave to the cities to talk with the High and Low Spheres, what starts with an usual fight between angels and devils ends up in a fun chase between Raf and Sulfus around school, when the game is over the two are bitten by a spider sent by Reina, the poison of the spider would make Raf and Sulfus develop their feelings and fall in love. After that moment Raf and Sulfus are constantly caught in traps created by Reina and her servant, Maliki, so the two could be alone and kiss. In order to stop their feelings from growing, the teachers, Arkhan and Temptel, separate the two and give each other new Earthly Ones and new rivals.
Sulfus' new rival is Miki and his new Earthly One is a boy, Matthew. After being caught in another trap that sends Raf and Sulfus to another dimension, the two wander around the Mortal Labyrinth where they later on face a Minotaur, their feelings by that time seem very strong due to the way they protect each other. Before they manage to escape the Minotaur, Sulfus gets badly wounded and Raf feels guilty for such thing having happened to him. She almost kisses him but they are stopped by their friends.
Even though they promised their secret, eventually Arkhan and Temptel find out about the almost-kiss between Raf and Sulfus. One more time to stop them, the two give them bodyguards that should follow them everywhere and avoid the two to meet. Sulfus eventually becomes jealous of Gabe and so does Raf with Misha. Later on another trap is set, this time Reina traps the two inside a cavern where they have being almost eaten by a giant kraken-like monster and find out about each other's feelings, the two almost kiss but this time they are stopped by Raf herself who states it's wrong because she is an angel and he is a devil.
After that time Sulfus tries to avoid Raf the best he can but one more time Reina intervenes and sets up a new trap for the two. This time during the Tournament of Light and Darkness, when their turn to fight comes, Raf and Sulfus are sent back in time, to the Aztec Civilization where they meet Tyco and Sai, two rivals who were in love with each other just like them. Although the two guardians can't see Raf and Sulfus, the two follow them around and end up discussing. Sulfus accuses her of playing with him and his feelings but Raf yells that she loves him, however the words aren't enough and Sulfus wants a proof: a kiss. Raf refuses to kiss him which leads Sulfus to say she is a liar, Raf slaps him and the two begin fighting briefly. Sulfus ends up hurting Raf badly and the angel falls, falling against the ceiling of a temple. Sulfus earns a new power: Recover, to heal Raf. After that, the two finally kiss. An earthquake happens as a result of their sacrilege, Raf and Sulfus are sucked by a dark portal which brings them back into the present day.
Once they return to their time, Raf and Sulfus end up confessing that they kissed and are eventually punished but they are freed from the accusations when Arkhan and Temptel find out Reina has escaped from her prison and that she has been watching Raf and Sulfus all over this time. They come to the conclusion that Raf and Sulfus were forced to kiss and therefore they have no feelings for each other which eventually is a lie.
Shortly after a Halloween party, Raf and Sulfus are put to sleep where they both dream with the day they will marry each other. When they wake up they are face-to-face with Reina, Sulfus witnesses the moment Raf is told she wasn't born an angel but an Earthly One. Sulfus promises to Raf that he won't say a word to anyone about that.
Later on, Sulfus refuses to help Raf entering the Portrait Room stating that she is not like that and that the Raf he knows isn't a thief nor hides secrets from her friends. However he cares a way too much about her to leave her on her own in a moment like this and keeps following her around to make sure she doesn't do anything stupid. Sulfus is eventually convinced in entering in the Portrait Room with Raf which later is revealed a trap set up by Reina who used the two to steal the portraits.
When Raf comes up with the idea in tricking Reina to believe she is on her side, Sulfus finds it a way too dangerous for she could die. In the final battle, Sulfus and all the others achieve Prisma Fly but his powers are sucked by Reina. He then helps Raf to defeat Reina.
At the end of the season, Sulfus reaches Raf the moment she is about to leave Earth, he asks her why she was leaving without telling him goodbye which the angel reveals she feared it would be too hard, Sulfus confesses he had the same feeling. Sulfus as last words tell Raf that she should rest and return stronger the next year because he won't make her life easy.

He is part of the Devil Enemies' rock band and plays bass, his musical tastes are rock and punk, he is a skilled athlete in extreme sports such as sliding on a lava tail and surfing of geysers.
His projection is activated by Basilisk and he presents himself under the form of temptation. Something that happens as well in Season 2 however in the animated series, Sulfus was the only character who never got a chance to try out the projection.
Sulfus has got 1% positive and that is the capacity of being able to fall in love. The comic version of Sulfus is also in love with Raf though in this version his feelings seem to not be returned and he hides it quite well.
