Theresa Merkel is a billionaire investment mogul, philanthropist and socialite in Central City and the founder of The Merkel Foundation. She is also the estranged mother of Peter Merkel.
Biography
Theresa Merkel is a well-known billionaire investment mogul in Central City. At some point, she had a son, Peter. However, while Theresa spoiled her son and provided him with all the luxuries her high-class lifestyle had available, she rarely acknowledged Peter and focused most of her attention on her business and charity work. As a result, Theresa and Peter grew estranged from one another.
Personality
While seemingly charming and generous, Theresa is a cold, stern, business-oriented woman devoted to her work and charities. As a result, she had a strained relationship with her son, Peter Merkel, having barely any personal involvement in his life as he grew up. When Peter became a criminal, Theresa disowned her son and cut off all contact with him, refusing to help Peter or consider that her lack of warmth and affection may have contributed to his emotional instability.
Theresa is also blunt and straightforward when it comes to non work-related matters; upon realizing Barry Allen and Iris West didn't attend her charity gala to make a donation, she immediately requested them to ask her whatever questions they wished.
