Origin[]
Rollo was a soldier who died around 1744 who fell in love with an ancient vampire named Zora. She been burned at the stake as a witch, but survived due to her supernatural abilities.
Zora spent 200 years looking for a way to complete Rollo's transformation into a vampire, since he had died of a gunshot wound before the transformation was complete. Finally in 1944, She was reunited with him and managed to revive him with a ritual.
After the pair encountered Frankenstein, Zora put the creature under her power and took him to their home, a spooky old mansion, to add him to her brood of ghouls. While Zora delighted in drinking blood and being a creature of darkness, Frankenstein displayed distaste for her ways, and after he ate garlic bread, Zora and Rollo were forced to abandon their ancient manor.
Homeless, they went to New York where they took over an apartment building. There, Zora invited two additional vampires to join her brood. These vampires held an undertaker's convention at the building, and hired one of the undertakers to stay and take care of them during the day. With the help of the caretaker, Frankenstein was no longer needed, and was released from Zora's power.
Powers and Abilities[]
After his transformation was completed by Zora's ritual, Rollo seemed to posses all the standard abilities and weaknesses of a typical vampire.
