In 1979, on a mission to foil a KGB operation, Roman accidentally shot and killed Rebecca.
Orpheus' vendetta against Romanwould also extend to John Black, and the villain has terrorized them often.
Orpheus finally set his plan into motion and captured Marlena so that Roman would pursue them.
Roman took Marlena away and discovered she had only been hit by a tranquilizer.
Orpheus blew up their house andfaked Marlena’s death, taking her to Europe.
When Marlena turned up alive five years later, she and Roman investigated who had captured her.
In 2016, Orpheus turned up alive and in prison.
Steve “Patch” Johnson (Stephen Nichols) managed to rescue them.
Orpheus won’t stay dead
PerSoaps in Depth, the escapees unleashed hell on Salem.
Meanwhile, Orpheus had also invaded the Kiriakis mansion, holding Eve Donovan (Kassie DePaiva) hostage.
When John attacked, Orpheus shot him and fled.
Orpheus managed to fake his death while in police custody and escaped to try and kill Marlena and Kayla.
However, John and Steve caught up to him and shot him dead, perSoaps.
Orpheus wasn’t actually dead and had brokered a deal with the ISA for his freedom, perSoap Dirt.
Roman (now Josh Taylor) helped in the rescue, and Orpheus went back to jail.
However, the women didn’t realize they’d been infected with a deadly biotoxin.
As a result, Kate, Kayla, and Marlena are now all dead (viaSoap Opera Spy).
But remember, this is a soap, so who knows when they might return.
