He's an Upir.

This link explains it: http://hemlockgrove.wikia.com/wiki/Upir

It might be a bit spoiler-ish but just don't go looking up who Nadia is yet and you will be fine. The first paragraph explains enough and does not contain spoilers.
I found I understood the show a lot better after reading this page.

What is Roman, specifically, you ask. Specifically, he's an upir, as stated in the show and, for those who possess the curiosity of someone who's not brain dead, in the book on which the show is based.
You can Google upir:
