Background:
Little is known about Mr. Froman before he moved to Chicago. What is known is that he arrived only three years ago, but is commonly referred to by members of the community as "The Sausage King of Chicago", a reputation which is well deserved. His butcher shop on the corner of Cermak and Cicero ("Alvis Butchers & Co") is a rather nondescript building which was previously a pet shop. He has two children by his late wife, Abraham Jr. and Gordon.
Abilities:
Simply put, Mr. Froman is able to make the most delicious sausages ever crafted by mankind. Mr. Froman claims no special powers, and says that he is simply following an ancient sausage recipe handed down over the centuries which he claims dates back to at least 8000BC. Our investigators have discovered that any cut of meat ground by this man with any amount or kind of spices and put into a casing becomes transformed into a delicious mouthwatering (Transcription note: The rest of the section of text was badly damaged by what appears to be drool mixed with sausage grease dripped onto the page. The original author is unavailable due to hospitalization on an unrelated issue.)
Psychological profile:
On the surface, Mr. Froman seems to be a fairly normal person. However when placed under hypnosis as part of routine examination Mr. Froman claims to be the "spiritual reincarnation" of a 9000 year old man from a city called "Hawa'Ee" who was once known as "the world's greatest sausage smith". While this would normally be grounds to have this man committed to the crazy house, it does not seem to impact his daily life nor impede his ability to make those delicious sausages.
Current assignment:
Mr. Froman is currently aiding the War Department in preparing sausages for the Top Secret "Best Wurst" project to try demoralize both the German army and citizenry with America's superior sausage.
