Apparentally German by birth, Friedrich Von Roehm operated a jewelry shop on New York City's Park Avenue.

However, he acquired superhuman strength, enhanced senses, claws, and barely controllable bloodlust during his transformation.

Aside from his personal to devotion to Selene, Von Roehm was apparently mentally compelled to obey Selene while in his superhuman state.
