August 22, 1986
A mysterious man, still wrapped in the bandages from a recent and extensive plastic surgery, turned up in Salem. He was suffering from amnesia. Dr. Marlena Evans Brady became his friend and, together, they tried to unravel his past. At one time Marlena thought he was Stefano DiMera because of the phoenix tattoo on his shoulder. After seeing before and after photographs from the files of the doctor who performed the man's surgery, Marlena was convinced that this man was really Roman Brady. She believed he had been held captive, tortured, brainwashed and redesigned by Stefano DiMera.
Although this Roman could not remember his past, he was certain that he loved Marlena and accepted his place in her heart and home. The couple "renewed their vows," Roman picked up his police work, and they planned on living happily as husband and wife. Unfortunately, Marlena was abducted by Orpheus - Roman Brady's former ISA partner. Due to Orpheus' desire for revenge, Marlena was presumed dead. Actually, she remained in an induced coma until late 1991. Shortly after Marlena was discovered alive, the real Roman made his way back to Salem. The not-really-Roman became known as John Black and later married Isabella Toscano.
