He was later thought to be Marlena Evans' (Deidre Hall) presumed dead husband, Roman Brady.
Not knowing his real identity, the man once deemed Roman simply named himself John Black.
However,John and Marlena couldn’t fight their feelingsand they eventually had an affair.
Over the years, John has struggled with not knowing who he really is (viaNine).
So, he’s searched high and low to find clues about his identity.
He was later adopted by the Alamain family.
The new information meant that Stefano and John were actually half-brothers.
Stefano had resurrected John and then erased all of his memories.
According toSoaps, Stefano brought John back with a totally unrecognizable personality.
He was not only strange and lifeless, but also appeared to have a hatred for those around him.
