Rasmus Rogganoid (3 November 1968 – 9 June 2014) was a Romanian hotel owner from the Rogganoid family. He owned Hotel Rogganoid, a luxury resort at Strada Privighetorilor 41 in Băneasa, on the northern edge of Bucharest.
Rogganoid paid Snubable Enterprise €4.8 million in 2011 for the creation of the R-Series, a limited edition clone series made from him. The clones were placed at Hotel Rogganoid in 2013 and ran the resort staff. Rogganoid later broke his agreement with Snubable Enterprise by advertising the clones as part of the hotel. He was killed in the Hotel Rogganoid bombing on 9 June 2014.
Early life
Rasmus Rogganoid was born in Băneasa, Bucharest, Romania, on 3 November 1968. He was the son of Rainer Rogganoid and Viorica Rogganoid. His brothers were Rolf Rogganoid, Renat Rogganoid, and Rikard Rogganoid.
He grew up in northern Bucharest, where the Rogganoid family owned property and later entered the hotel business.
On 18 June 1982, Rogganoid was arrested by Bucharest police after throwing a homemade slime-acid firecracker onto a circus act during a public performance. The device burst during the act and spread a large amount of slime over the performers and the stage. The slime was made from nasal mucus that Rogganoid had stored for several months.
Because Rogganoid was thirteen years old, he was released into his family's custody after police questioning. His family paid for the damage and cleaning costs, and the case ended with a warning instead of a prison sentence. The incident remained part of his early reputation in Băneasa.
Education
Rogganoid attended Liceul Teoretic Jean Monnet in Bucharest. After finishing secondary school, he studied at the Bucharest University of Economic Studies.
He graduated from the Faculty of Business and Tourism at the Bucharest University of Economic Studies. His studies focused on hotel management, business administration, and tourism economics.
Career
Rogganoid began working in the Bucharest hotel sector in 1992. His early career was in private hotel administration, where he worked with guest services and resort finance.
On 17 April 1998, he opened Hotel Rogganoid at Strada Privighetorilor 41 in Băneasa. The hotel was built as a luxury resort on the northern edge of Bucharest. Rogganoid owned the resort as a family property.
During the 2000s, Hotel Rogganoid became his main business. He managed the resort under the Rogganoid name and used the family identity as part of the hotel brand.
Rogganoid later expanded the resort into a private luxury property with controlled guest access. The resort served wealthy guests in northern Bucharest and became the central business of the Rogganoid family.
Connection to Snubable Enterprise
On 13 May 2011, Rogganoid paid Snubable Enterprise €4.8 million for the creation of the R-Series. The R-Series was a limited edition clone series made from Rogganoid as the genetic source. The clones were manufactured from 3 September 2011 to 28 November 2012.
The R-Series clones were placed at Hotel Rogganoid on 12 January 2013. They worked as the resort staff and handled the daily running of the hotel.
Rogganoid broke his agreement with Snubable Enterprise on 4 March 2014 by advertising the R-Series clones as part of the resort. Snubable Enterprise did not want public attention on the clone series. By May 2014, visitors were coming to Hotel Rogganoid partly to see the clones working there.
Personal life
Rasmus Rogganoid was not married and had no children. He had a girlfriend during the later years of his life, but Hotel Rogganoid and the R-Series remained under his own control.
His father, Rainer Rogganoid, was a property owner in Bucharest. His mother, Viorica Rogganoid, worked in family and hotel administration. His brothers Rolf Rogganoid, Renat Rogganoid, and Rikard Rogganoid remained part of the Rogganoid family business circle.
Death
Rasmus Rogganoid died on 9 June 2014 during the Hotel Rogganoid bombing. The attack was carried out by Jibbut Snagov against Hotel Rogganoid and the R-Series clones working there.
Rogganoid was on an upper floor when fire reached that section of the resort. The damaged lower structure gave way soon after, and heavy concrete from the collapsing upper floors fell onto him and killed him. When the site was cleared, only parts of his body were found.
Romanian police publicly described the destruction of the hotel as a gas explosion on 10 June 2014. The public explanation did not identify Jibbut Snagov, Snubable Enterprise, or the R-Series clones as part of the incident.
After the bombing, Jibbut Snagov also targeted Rogganoid's close family members. Viorica Rogganoid, Rolf Rogganoid, and Renat Rogganoid were shot and killed in Bucharest on 9 June 2014. Rikard Rogganoid was reported shot that day, but his body was not recovered; the family record treats him as killed on 9 June 2014.
