German by birth, Friedrich Von Roehm operated a jewellery shop on New York City's Park Avenue. Von Roehm was also secretly a lycanthrope and a high priest of the supernatural being and self-described goddess Selene. Von Roehm, who had worshipped Selene as a goddess, became her personal servant when she showed up in his jewellery shop. He attained the rank of "Black Rook," of the Lords Cardinal of the New York branch of the Hellfire Club, an exclusive secret society bent on world domination. |
