He claims this is because maintaining his own privacy and solitary existence from others of his kind encourages them to follow likewise; and it was clear in later episodes that he values human company and even has friends and close acquaintances that are human in that respect. He was also very hostile towards Nick; in "The Three Bad Wolves", he yells at Nick about Angelina Lasser. He later develops high moral standards thanks to his interactions with Nick, as seen when Nick insisted on him helping to track down Holly Clark; Monroe was initially reluctant, until Nick showed him Holly's picture. By the time he was attacked by a pair of Reapers for helping Nick, Monroe had reached a point where he enjoyed working with Nick to shake up the status quo, rejecting Nick's attempt to assure Monroe that he would no longer ask him for help.
As an individual, Monroe possess a rather laid back personality and is usually calm and level-headed in most situations, although he can slip into a slight panic at times, such as asking questions which he then answers himself. To go with his laid back personality, Monroe possesses a somewhat dry sense of humor often making puns and sarcastic remarks. Monroe is also slow to anger although he does become slightly irked when someone or something prevents him from doing his daily Pilates. One of Monroe's strongest personality traits is his kindness and loyalty to those whom he considers to be his friends which he has demonstrated many times toward Nick and Rosalee, and has romantic feelings toward the latter. In "The Kiss" he was visibly angered when Catherine Schade came back at the Spice Shop to retrieve her orders from Rosalee, threatening her in the process; Monroe later appeared (he was working behind the counter) saying that 'cheapskate' came very close to getting her throat ripped out. He is shown to be protective of Rosalee and does not take kindly to anyone threatening her, such as when he woged and attacked Edgar Waltz ("Cat and Mouse") and Barry Kellogg. ("One Angry Fuchsbau")
Accordingly, he is often devastated or distraught when he learns that something terrible has happened to anyone he considers his friend, as seen when his Wildermann friend, Larry died ("Big Feet") and when Angelina died. ("Over My Dead Body") Monroe also seems to be fond of decorating his house extensively. Monroe is very good with children who love to trick or treat at his house at Halloween due to his excessive and elaborate lawn decorations, and the large amount of candy he gives. Monroe even defended a girl against the neighborhood bullies who were trying to steal her candy. Not only did Monroe force the bullies to give the candy back to the girl, but he also yanked on the ear of leader bully until the group apologized to the girl for stealing her candy. ("La Llorona") Monroe is also very creative and takes pride in his creations. Of course, not everyone appreciates his creativity: Rosalee isn't very enthusiastic about his baking after trying his dandelion-seaweed scone. ("Bad Hair Day")
Another defining trait of Monroe is the fact that he seems to believe in the inherent goodness of Wesen, not just his own kind. He consented to accompanying Nick in locating Holly Clark into the woods, ("Let Your Hair Down") and was shocked when two Blutbaden robbed a bank while in their Wesen forms, taking it as a personal insult for their species. ("Natural Born Wesen") He later went to a Wesen bar, hoping that someone there could provide some information, despite knowing that "less than legitimate" Wesen were the patrons. He was also very keen to accompany Nick and Rosalee to help the Glühenvolk couple. ("Endangered")
Monroe has a tendency to go on long-winded tangents about subjects he is passionate about or well informed of. Frequently, the information he spouts out goes over the heads of those listening. The subjects generally vary, but the most common ones are the history of clocks and his family's history.
Thinking about injuries to a person's eyes makes Monroe lightheaded. ("Mr. Sandman")
Monroe is a noticeably tall man, standing several inches taller than Nick and an inch or two above Hank. As a result of his diet and daily pilates, Monroe has a lean and slightly muscular build; appearing slightly weedy. He has brown eyes when untransformed and brown hair which is lightly wavy. He sports a thin beard. In Wesen form his facial featu...
The part of Monroe was described as:
(Grimm: Special Collector's Edition issue 2)
•Rosalee Calvert - Rosalee Calvert is Monroe's Fuchsbau wife. Monroe is very protective of Rosalee. He has woged and attacked at least two Wesen who threatened her.
•Nick Burkhardt - Nick Burkhardt is Monroe's Grimm friend. Monroe and Nick got off on the wrong foot at first and Monroe was hostile towards him because he was a Grimm, but eventually realized that Nick was not like the Grimms that he had heard about from his parents. The two later became very close friends, always helping out each other. Monroe stated after his wedding that had he not met Nick, he would not have a life (compared to the quiet solitary life he had).
•Juliette Silverton - Juliette Silverton has become a good friend of Monroe ever since Monroe met Nick. Juliette often joins Nick for dinners with Monroe and Rosalee and is often helping Nick with some Wesen cases with Monroe.
•Hank Griffin - Hank Griffin has become a good friend of Monroe's as they are both often around each other helping Nick deal with Wesen.
•Bart and Alice - Bart and Alice are Monroe's parents. They are traditional Blutbaden and were initially very hostile to his relationship with Rosalee, and could not understand his friendship with Nick. Once they realized that their animosity towards Rosalee and Nick would lead to their estrangement from Monroe they softened their attitude.
•Felix Dietrich - Felix Dietrich was Alice's brother and Monroe's uncle. Monroe greatly cared for and respected Felix, calling him a good man. It is also likely that Monroe saw aspects of Felix in himself, and he commented to Rosalee that had he not met her, he would have likely led a similar life as Felix. Monroe was devastated when Felix was murdered by Black Claw Anubi, and he came to terms with his death soon after when he got to avenge his uncle by personally killing the two Anubi responsible. ("Map of the Seven Knights")
As a Blutbad, Monroe has all the standard capabilities of his race. Strength, speed, resilience, acute senses all these attributes present while in human form are enhanced even further when he woges into his Wesen form. He has demonstrated sufficient control over his woge, and has shown being able to partially enter it, selectively wogeing parts of his body at will, as seen in Danse Macabre, where he summoned claws from his right hand to intimidate Roddy Geiger, or in Let Your Hair Down, where his eyes turned a fierce red color.
During confrontations, Monroe usually fights unarmed, preferring to use his Wesen abilities and attributes to his advantage by using his claws and fangs as weapons. Though at some cases, he was seen being able to best other fully-transformed Wesen without having to woge himself. However, he has shown some aptitude at wielding actual weapons, as seen in Game Ogre, where he quickly figured out how to use a Siegbarste Gewehr in time to save Hank from Oleg Stark, and where he taught Nick the proper way of handling a Doppelarmbrust. ("Leave It to Beavers") In "Last Grimm Standing", Monroe states that he took up boxing at some point.
Monroe doesn't seem to fear the Grimms as much as other Wesen. He starts the relationship with Nick by attacking him, and then asking him in for a beer. When Monroe was a kid he heard scary stories about Grimms and all the ways they have killed and dismembered his ancestors. In particular he has heard many frightening things about Marie Kessler, Nick's aunt, who seems to have a bloody reputation in the supernatural creature world. His great-grandma's head was cut off and placed on a lamppost by Marie. His grandfather was mutilated by the Grimms and his farm was burned down. He does admit that his grandfather may have deserved the treatment for some of the things he had done. Monroe also mentions that his parents are alive, and are apparently highly traditional Blutbaden, for that reason Monroe didn't want them visiting, while Nick was living with him. He tells Marie that if they knew he was this close to a Grimm without avenging his family he would not be invited to any more Thanksgivings. ("Bears Will Be Bears")
On his mother's side, he states he has a great-uncle Olaf, who was a newsreel cameraman in 1920's Berlin. When Olaf died, his camera equipment was transferred to Monroe's mother. Monroe mentions to Nick that he'd be rummaging through his attic for the camera equipment later, implying that his mother passed the equipment down to him.
Monroe's maternal uncle Felix Dietrich was apparently moderate enough for his sister Alice to inform him about Monroe and Nick's friendship. An antiquarian bookseller, this led him to trust Nick enough to give him the first exclusive opportunity to purchase the 20 Nebojsa Grimm Diaries.
Monroe has a cousin Naydler, who lives in Antwerp. Naydler called Monroe and informed him that a Grimm had been beheaded near where he lived. ("The Thing with Feathers")
