## Biography

Rommel comes with Grandmère to New York to live in the Plaza Hotel. When Rommel returns with Grandmère to Genovia for Mia's winter break the royal veterinarian diagnoses him with OCD. He must return to New York, just as his hair was starting to grow back. Grandmère trips over Rommel and breaks her toe when trying to escape from Dr. Steve.

Grandmère brings Rommel with her to Les Hautes Manger in her purse. During dinner he escapes and causes a scene with many patrons believing him to be a large rat, due to his hairlessness. After being cornered he darts out and trips Jangbu Panasa, who spills a tray of soups on Grandmère. The results in Jangbu being fired from Les Hautes Manger and begins a series of protests and strikes around the city calling for better treatment of busboys. Neither the restaurant nor Grandmère will admit to Rommel's part in the incident, as dogs are not allowed in restaurants.

Rommel accompanies Grandmère to Mia's student council debate.

Later in his life Rommel develops a high sex drive and begins to hump everything. Grandmère's solution to this problem is to buy him a companion, Snowball, but he takes no interest in her.

Rommel goes with Grandmère to Mia's wedding dress appointment.

Rommel immediately takes to Olivia Harrison, which surprises Grandmère.

Rommel goes with Grandmère to the Royal School Winter Games.
